EKE-Trainnet® Solutions

EKE-Electronics provides advanced solutions for Train Control and Management Systems (TCMS) and Safety Applications. These solutions ensure seamless train operation, monitoring, and safety across modern and legacy fleets.

Modular and Scalable System Design

Our solutions are built using a modular approach, allowing flexibility and scalability to meet different train requirements. Multiple systems can be integrated into a single rack, optimising space and efficiency.

Built with Interchangeable Modules

Each system consists of interchangeable modules, ensuring easy repairs, upgrades and customisation.

Advanced Software Platform for Custom Functionality

The application software is a crucial part of our solution, determining how the hardware operates and ensuring the seamless execution of train control and management functions. EKE-Electronics provides a powerful and flexible software development environment, allowing you to configure, program, and optimise your system with ease.

Our platform fully supports CODESYS®, the industry-leading, manufacturer-independent IEC 61131-3 automation suite. With this integration, you can:

Effortlessly create, analyse, simulate, and commission applications

Ensure maximum efficiency and reliability throughout your automation projects

Streamline the development process with an intuitive programming environment

Highly Skilled Team

At the core of our success is a highly skilled team based at our headquarters in Espoo, Finland. With around 100 employees, many of whom have been with us for over a decade, our team brings unmatched knowledge and experience to every project.
 
This depth of expertise enables us to understand the specific requirements of both new build and refurbishment projects. Whether designing a Train Control and Management System or delivering a Functional Safety system, we work closely with our customers to develop tailored solutions that align with their technical, operational, and lifecycle needs.
 
Our team’s practical understanding of modern and legacy rolling stock ensures we can deliver systems that perform reliably in real-world conditions.
Tailored Solutions to Meet Your Needs

Whether you prefer to develop in-house or rely on our expertise, our platform offers the tools and support to help you succeed.

With EKE’s software development environment, you have the flexibility to choose how your applications are developed. After receiving training from EKE, your engineers can independently code, modify, and maintain the applications tailored to your specific needs. Alternatively, EKE’s experienced team can take on the responsibility of building the applications for you, delivering a complete solution that is optimised and fully tested to meet your requirements.
