Frauscher. improves the way trains are tracked, unlike any other existing technology and will lead to a revolution in railway operation. The new Frauscher Alarming and Maintenance System (FAMS) offers operators a compact way to monitor all of their Frauscher axle counter components at a glance. Diagnostic information generated by one or more Frauscher Diagnostic Systems (FDS) can be managed via this interface, which enables detailed planning of preventative as well as regular maintenance tasks. As a result, the FAMS can help to significantly improve the cost efficiency of train operations.

System integrators can speed up the configuration of the various components in their projects by using the new Frauscher Configuration Tool (FCT). This software supports users of varying experience with an intuitive approach for beginners as well as fast and direct configuration for experienced users. It provides immediate live information during configuration processes, in case an error occurs. For double-checking the configuration, an overview table can be displayed instead of individual text files. Additionally, the software allows project templates for common system layouts to be saved and reused. As a result, by using FCT, significant savings can be made throughout a project’s configuration phase by minimising working times during system commissioning. Both FAMS and FCT complement FAdC’s existing tools such as the Frauscher Diagnostic System (FDS), the Advanced Service Display (ASD) or the Adjustment and Maintenance Box (AMB). All of these tools and
features make it simpler for railway experts to get, transmit, sort and use all the information they need from their systems – in line with Frauscher’s motto “Track more with less”.
Hitachi Hitachi Rail Europe (4.2/304) will have a strong presence, focusing on its European successes and capabilities which draw on the Japanese headquarters’ expertise – from manufacture and maintenance of rolling stock to traction, signalling and digital railway products. For the
first time, the brand will also exhibit alongside recent acquisitions Hitachi Rail Italy (previously AnsaldoBreda) and Ansaldo STS on the same stand, displaying a truly global company. Centrepiece of the stand will be a large LED screen showcasing the new Hitachi global brand with full global production facilities. Interested visitors may take a seat and experience the systems for themselves whilst taking advantage of the latest augmented reality technology to walk through the new Hitachi metro trains and service delivery depot locations.
