How We Facilitated Train Renovation Projects for Metro Trains Australia through Comprehensive Product Development Solutions
Metro Trains Australia
Client Overview
Metro Trains Australia, initiated a major renovation project for their train fleets in both Melbourne and Sydney.
To meet their ambitious goals, they needed specialized infrastructure components. Innovate X Labs partnered with Ogis Engineering, a Sydney-based firm, to deliver custom components meeting Metro Trains’ rigorous standards.
The Challenge
Metro Trains Australia needed custom aluminum and stainless steel clamps for their train renovation project.
The challenge was to efficiently manage design, finalize CAD drawings, optimize tooling, and coordinate with multiple suppliers under tight deadlines and stringent quality requirements. Our team streamlined these processes to ensure precise and timely delivery.
The Solution
During this project we took the lead in managing the end-to-end process.
We refined CAD drawings and optimized tooling to meet Metro Trains’ specs. Working closely with Ogis Engineering and casting suppliers, we made necessary modifications like adding tapers to aluminum clamps. Handling supplier communications and logistics ensured a smooth production process.
Implementation
We commenced by reviewing and enhancing Ogis Engineering’s CAD drawings, ensuring they met all technical requirements.
We improved tooling and product specifications, managed international logistics to ensure timely delivery to Sydney and Melbourne for installation. Proactive communication with Ogis Engineering and factories kept the production timeline on track, promptly addressing adjustments or issues.
The Results
Under Innovate X Labs’ leadership, the project moved from design to production on schedule.
Our streamlined approach enhanced project coordination and delivered high-quality components meeting Metro Trains’ standards, enabling Ogis Engineering to meet deadlines and strengthen relationships.

Josh is so easy to work with. He has helped me source products seamlessly and has always made it a pleasure to work with as a bridge for the language barrier. His English skills are good, but you should hear him speak Mandarin and Cantonese - it is extremely impressive. My brand EMOTI has dealt with Josh over the last year and he always gives us a lot of time and attention.
