Tools for the most advanced rail systems in the world
Zircon has been involved in numerous high profile national and international rail projects. We have developed operational software, performed verification and validation tasks, and produced test equipment and engineering support tools for some of the most advanced rail systems in the world.
Zircon is entering its 2nd decade of working with Invensys Rail, a multi-national leader in delivering state of the art railway control and communication solutions.
We have worked on a wide range of rail systems with them, including safety, control centre and train carried systems.
“Without the experience of the Zircon staff involved, the project would never have made the good early progress on this high profile contract. The staff have my personal thanks.”
Project Manager Invensys Rail Limited
Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems are responsible for the design and development of world leading metro braking control technology and platform screen systems.
We have helped them develop a number of maintenance/diagnostic tools for their train braking and platform screen door systems. Also provided independent verification and validation services, and also developed embedded comms.
“I have found Zircon a pleasure to work with time and time again. They are truly a company that focus on the customer, willing to help and find solutions within the context of the contract at hand.”
