Gerhard Schönhoff, Managing Director of euromicron solutions: “Our cutting-edge control room for consistent monitoring and control of the entire enterprise network is a key component of the ‘Karlsruhe Model’.”
The “Karlsruhe Model” is something the city and region can be particularly proud of. The transport concept, which combines use of urban local transport with the rail network in the region, had captured worldwide attention. The cooperation between the two transport companies VBK (Verkehrsbetriebe Karlsruhe) and AVG (Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft) has an international model character and, by commissioning their joint control center, they have achieved a further milestone. The Karlsruhe branch office of euromicron solutions GmbH is working with WEY Technology AG to design the high-tech system solution. “In fertile collaboration between two technology leaders, a cutting-edge control room for consistent monitoring and control of the entire enterprise network of VBK and AVG has been created,” says Gerhard Schönhoff, Managing Director of euromicron solutions.
euromicron’s flexible system architecture in conjunction with WEY’s leading products and solutions not only guarantees a high degree of operational reliability and serviceability. Thanks to the modular structure, new applications can also be integrated quickly and easily, making the solution sustainable and future-proof.
That is also confirmed by Rainer Krause, manager of the project on behalf of AVG and VBK: “As part of the compact and expandable modular system, 22 highly efficient workplaces have been created, boasting impressive ergonomics and ensuring permanent and consistent monitoring and control of the joint enterprise network.”
