Company
We are AAIT
AAIT is specialised in the modernisation of electrical and electronical systems of railway vehicles.
Over the last few years, the railway industry has been undergoing a dramatic change, one that has by far not been completed. The requirements of components are becoming more and more complex, the safety case and the interoperability more pronounced and the verification process more complicated than ever before. In many cases, it is economically worthwhile to upgrade existing railway installations or rolling stock, be it that those upgrades are required as operational improvements or because of technical breakdowns. At the same time, every day there are news of the discontinuation of electrical and electronic products, increasing prices for spare parts, or system suppliers going out of business.
These are the challenges that AAIT, as an independent and innovative manufacturer and service provider, has specialized in handling.
In close cooperation with accredited test centres, bodies and accessors, not only the development process is verified by externals. Also, at AAIT, the development results, witch include software, hardware and system concepts correspond to the highest standards.
