New white paper: How to choose the right central unit for rolling stock and rail
As a result of transport sector digitalisation increases the demands for connectivity, data management and real-time analysis. At the same time, equipment is exposed to harsh environments - vibrations, temperature changes, EMC interference and voltage fluctuations. Yet hardware is often overlooked when planning new systems.
Our new white paper gives you a practical overview of how to choose the right central unit - box PC or panel PC - for demanding transport environments. We are particularly aimed at those working in technical systems development, integration or procurement.
Find out more in our white paper:
- Common pitfalls - why the wrong hardware leads to downtime and high costs
- E-labelling and EN 50155 - what the certifications mean in practice
- Environmental requirements - how to deal with vibrations, temperature, voltage and EMC
- Planning - how the central unit affects the functioning and lifetime of the whole system
- Checklist - checkpoints for the right choice of computer platform from the start

Why is the choice of central unit so important?
The central processing unit is not just 'a computer' - it is the hub of your system. It collects and analyses data, communicates with sensors and control interfaces, and must withstand physical and electrical stresses. The wrong choice at an early stage can lead to:
- Short lifecycles and unforeseen service costs
- Compatibility issues during upgrades
- Costly rework during installation or integration
With the right platform from the start, you'll create a system that lasts - and can grow with future needs.
