BluePoint – Switch Heating System
Designed to meet the current demands of the railway sector, BluePoint is a state-of-the-art switch heating system.
It ensures safe railway operations during winter while significantly reducing energy consumption.
With precise and predictive regulation, BluePoint optimizes the heating of switch points, enabling up to 80% energy savings compared to traditional systems without compromising de-icing effectiveness.

Smart control based on weather data
The energy efficiency of our BluePoint de-icing system relies on precise control based on local weather data, updated hourly. Unlike traditional systems that activate heating continuously as soon as the temperature drops, BluePoint only triggers heating when conditions truly require it (snow, frost, precipitation).
The sensors continuously monitor:
-The temperature of heated and unheated rails
-Ambient temperature
-Wind speed
-Humidity and precipitation levels
-Weather forecasts for +1, +2, and +3 hours
Optimized heating, controlled energy consumption
Each minute of heating is precisely calculated to ensure maximum efficiency, consuming only what is strictly necessary. This results in tangible reductions in energy use and CO₂ emissions, while ensuring infrastructure remains clear and operational—even under extreme conditions.
Modular system, compatible with all types of networks
Our switch heating system adapts to all types of lines:
-Main lines
-High-speed lines
-Secondary or regional lines
-Depots and maintenance areas
-Urban and suburban networks (metro, tram, commuter rail)
It can be installed as a complete solution or integrated into an existing system.
The BluePoint frost protection system is specifically designed for heating switch points, critical contact zones, and exposed components of the railway network.
This switch heating system is especially suitable for:
-Infrastructure located in areas with unstable or harsh climates
-Operators seeking significant reductions in energy costs
-Infrastructure managers committed to ensuring safety and traffic regularity
Thanks to its precision, this switch heating system prevents service interruptions caused by frost and minimizes emergency maintenance interventions.
At Electro-Therm, we apply our expertise to the modernization of railway infrastructure.
With innovative solutions like BluePoint, we support railway networks in meeting today’s energy and climate challenges.
Our commitment: to deliver reliable, energy-efficient solutions while contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint.
