Company Profile

Increasing Safety, Efficiency and

Reliability of Railways Worldwide
Global leader and technology innovator specialized in the design and development of end-to-end
measurement, signalling and asset management solutions for railways and rapid transits.

Everyday thousands of railways and rapid
transits carry billions of passengers and
goods all over the world. They are very
different transportation systems with a
fundamental need in common: to provide
exceptional service to their customers
through reliable, safe and efficient rail
operations.
In order to guarantee that, these companies
need a more integrated and innovative
approach to asset maintenance and traffic
management. They are looking for cutting-
edge technology able to give their own
people the ability to work at their full
potential and fix problems before they come
to light. With a unique product portfolio of
measurement systems and vehicles, decision
support tools and automatic train protection
technology, MERMEC group helps world
railways and rapid transits run safe, efficient
and reliable networks; while always assuring
that their passengers or goods enjoy
superior service and a pleasant journey
wherever they go.

Signalling Systems
MERMEC group offers safe and reliable
signalling solutions which include
interlocking, Automatic Train Protection
systems and trackside equipment,
complete with design, testing, installation
and project management. All solutions
are fully compatible delivering all the
performances that efficient and modern
railways demand.
MERMEC, that is actively contributing to
the ERTMS and ETCS standards
definitions, offers iCAB: a dedicated ATP
system fully compliant with ETCS L1 and
ETCS L2 specifications. iCAB On Board
Unit has been specifically designed to
offer higher levels of safety, performance
and cost saving. iCAB Lineside Electronic
Units (LEUs) either linked to interlocking
systems or directly to in line signals
(analog or LED), reliably control the in-
track ETCS components. The family of
trackside equipment includes: Hot Box
Detector, SIL4 Train Inspection Portal,
Level Crossing Obstacles Detector, LED
Signals.
MERMEC group can offer a unique set of
measuring systems dedicated to the
analysis of ETCS and GSM-R networks.

Decision Support System
RAMSYS decision support system is a
modular software platform that enables
proactive management of a diverse set of
railway assets through enhanced analysis
of volumes of data (measurements,
current and historic asset data,…). It is the
first and only Decision Support System
that fully supports condition based &
predictive maintenance.
Condition-based and predictive
maintenance eliminate "too early"
preventive and "too late" corrective
interventions and is based on planned
works produced with all the diagnostic
data available. In this way measurements
data are used not only as a function of
control but also as a driver for
maintenance activities.
RAMSYS has been designed by railway
engineers specifically for the railway
industry. It supports the management of
all data related to railway infrastructure
and rolling stock maintenance.

Industrial Solutions
Our cutting-edge optoelectronic and
vision technologies can serve any
industrial sector where the continuous
check of products and processes
represents a strategic and complex
requirement.
In the steel industry the application of
optoelectronic measuring systems has
greatly improved and led to a generation
of stable and reliable machines.
Nowadays, rolling mills and forges can
take full advantage of dimensional
controls by implementing non-contact
and completely automated measurement
systems.
MERMEC's subsidiary Tecnogamma offers
a complete range of measuring solutions
for steel industry applications: hot and
cold inspection systems for the
comprehensive dimensional
measurement of hot rolled long products
with complex profile, seamless rolled
rings and mono-block wheels, open die
forgings such as forged bars and large
forgings.
FACTS & FIGURES
4 main industrial sectors served:
· hot & cold hot rolled long products
· hot & cold seamless rolled rings
· monobloc wheels
· large open-die forgings
More than 30 customers in 11 countries
More than 45 measurement stations
