Complete solutions from a single source.
We develop highly available and highly reliable products and system solutions for applications in rail vehicles, infrastructure and signalling under harsh environmental conditions.
We offer the complete range of development services for Digital Rail Germany and the changeover to ETCS. Benefit from our process reliability - even for complex and demanding development projects. With success: In 2022, embeX was recognised by BAHNVERBAND e.V. as a "supplier for the rail industry with a special recommendation".
Development services.
Take advantage of our many years of experience in the development of functionally safe components up to SIL 4, which also fulfil the requirements for reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) in accordance with EN 50126. Safety can also be safeguarded with regard to cybersecurity up to SL 4 (Safety & Security).
Conception
- Creation of the system concept in accordance with the required safety level
- Implementation of rapid prototyping and development of demonstrators and functional models as well as feasibility analyses to ensure success
- Creation of the specification of the security requirements, the security concept and advice on your functionally secure product
- Conducting process-compliant threat analyses and creating cybersecurity risk assessments
- Creating security concepts in accordance with IEC 62443 and to fulfil the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
- Conceptualisation of the mechanical design, including for harsh environmental conditions
