Extended lifetime
We develop technologies that can be used to extend the life of existing systems, which contributes to lower environmental impact and sometimes large financial savings.
Remote access
We develop solutions for secure and efficient system control and maintenance of remotely located assets. This contributes to fewer maintenance trips.

We specialise in developing products for 'green' industries such as train, railways, traffic optimisation and renewable electricity. Our technology helps these industries to become more efficient.
