From Idea to Implementation and Beyond
Initial Consultation
Your journey with us begins when you approach us with a requirement related to the upgrade of the Train Control and Management Systems (TCMS) or the addition of new Safety Integrity Level (SIL) functions. Our team will work closely with you to understand your project’s goals and constraints, ensuring that we align with your technical needs.
Pre-Study
The pre-study provides essential insights into a train’s existing systems, guiding informed decisions on upgrades. By identifying components that can be retained, it helps reduce costs and streamline refurbishment. It also ensures seamless integration of old and new systems, minimising disruptions while enhancing performance. With a clear upgrade pathway and targeted recommendations, the pre-study maximises efficiency, optimises resource use, and supports the successful modernisation of train systems.
System Selection
Based on the outcomes of the pre-study, we will assist you in selecting the right components for your system from our extensive range. The systems listed below are available for customisation. Select an image to explore more details.
Multiple systems can be integrated into a single rack, optimising space and efficiency.
For your system, we would select the modules that best meet your specifications. Our range includes the following modules. Click on an image to explore related content.
Software Development
Once the hardware is selected, the next step is the development of the software application that defines the functionality of your system. Depending on your project’s scope, EKE-Electronics can train your engineers to build and manage software applications or deliver a complete solution for you.
Project Support
We provide project support services to ensure the seamless integration and implementation of our solutions. From initial design to final deployment, our structured approach ensures your project aligns with operational goals and delivers optimal performance.
Technical Support and Training
EKE-Electronics provides remote technical support through our customer support portal. When required, our experts are available for on-site visits to assist with in-train troubleshooting.
We also offer tiered training programmes for EKE-Electronics’ partners and EKE-Trainnet® users. Training can be delivered online or in person, depending on your needs.
After Sales Support
Our After Sales Support ensures long-term reliability and functionality, providing ongoing assistance throughout the product’s lifecycle. All our hardware is backed by a 20 year support service.
At EKE-Electronics, instead of swapping electronics boards, we commit ourselves to repairing the products sent to us for service. By doing it, we gain unique feedback from the field about our product’s reliability and functionality in use. The collected real-life failure statistics back up the reliability EKE-Electronics promises for its products.
Spare parts for EKE-Electronics’ solutions are available to support the extended lifecycle of our products. To mitigate obsolescence issues in your systems, we manage spare part configurations and collaborate with you to find practical solutions for maintaining your existing rolling stock.
Experienced Team
At the core of our success is a highly skilled team based at our headquarters in Espoo, Finland. With around 100 dedicated employees, many with over a decade of experience, our team brings extensive expertise of legacy systems.
This depth of knowledge allows us to create Train Control and Management Systems that are precisely tailored to meet the evolving standards and requirements of modern rail projects.
With a commitment to quality and reliability, our team ensures that every train modernisation and refurbishement is equipped with future-ready technology and seamless integration.
