Railway systems play a vital role in transporting goods and passengers over long distances, and this industry continues to evolve rapidly thanks to the introduction of new technologies and modernization of infrastructure. Modern railways require high reliability, safety, efficiency and sustainability. These goals are achieved through the introduction of advanced electronic and electromechanical components that automate control, improve communication and monitoring systems, and increase the overall efficiency of rail transport.
ORION offers high-quality components for the railway industry that help solve important challenges facing this industry, ensuring the safety and reliability of all its elements.
Automation and control in railway systems
Modern railway systems increasingly rely on automated solutions that reduce human intervention and increase control accuracy. One of the key areas is the automation of train traffic and safety systems.
This includes:
CBTC systems
Train control technologies such as CBTC (Communication-Based Train Control) use digital communications to control and monitor trains in real time. This not only improves safety but also reduces the intervals between trains, increasing line capacity. ORION supplies components for such systems, including industrial controllers, communication modules and relays, ensuring accurate and stable train control.
Speed and braking control systems
Modern speed and braking control systems are based on the use of sensors and electronic systems that regulate the speed of trains and prevent accidents. ORION components are used in such systems to ensure reliable monitoring and control.
Predictive maintenance and condition monitoring of rolling stock
Predictive maintenance is playing an increasingly important role in the management of railway systems. With the help of sensors and monitoring systems, the condition of rolling stock and infrastructure can be monitored in real time, predicting possible breakdowns and planning maintenance. ORION components include high-precision vibration, temperature and pressure sensors that help monitor the condition of equipment and prevent emergency situations.
Energy Solutions for the Rail Industry
Railway systems require efficient energy solutions, as trains and infrastructure consume significant amounts of electricity. Modern rail systems employ energy-efficient solutions to reduce energy consumption and reduce the environmental impact.
Energy-saving systems
Energy-saving systems are used to manage energy consumption in trains and stations. This can include energy recovery systems that return some of the energy lost during braking back to the grid. ORION components for such systems include power modules and energy converters that ensure reliable and efficient use of electricity.
Solar and Renewable Energy
As part of sustainable development, rail companies are increasingly using renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines to power stations and auxiliary systems. ORION components enable such solutions to be integrated into the rail network infrastructure, ensuring reliable operation and reducing the carbon footprint.
Communication systems and information technology
Modern rail systems make extensive use of digital technologies to ensure communication and information exchange between trains, stations and control centers. Effective communication systems improve safety, improve coordination and quickly respond to any changes in train movements.
Digital communication systems
Digital communication systems that enable data transfer in real time are used to ensure the smooth operation of rail networks. These systems include both radio communication between train drivers and dispatchers and data transmission systems between various infrastructure elements. ORION components help ensure the reliable operation of these systems, which is especially important for high-speed lines and busy railway hubs.
Passenger information systems
Railway stations and carriages are increasingly being equipped with modern information systems that allow passengers to receive up-to-date information on train movements, arrival times and other aspects of their trip. These systems require reliable components to ensure smooth operation of displays and notification systems. ORION provides solutions for such systems, including industrial displays.
