EN 50155 & EN 50121-4 Embedded Box PCs for Railway

We supply rugged, EN 50155 and EN 50121-4 compliant Embedded Box PCs designed specifically for rolling stock and rail-side deployment. These systems are engineered to withstand vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, and electrical interference, ensuring long-term reliability in mission-critical rail environments.

Our railway computers are available with wide DC input ranges, M12 connectors, and conformal coating for added resilience, making them ideal for applications such as condition monitoring, passenger information systems, video surveillance, and train control.

Learn More About Railway Embedded PCs

An embedded box PC for railways is an industrial computer designed specifically for use on trains, trams and in trackside or station equipment. The enclosure, components and power design are all chosen to cope with constant vibration, wide temperature swings, electrical noise and long operating hours. Typical roles include onboard passenger information and CCTV, condition monitoring, data logging, signalling gateways and control systems, where failure or reboot at the wrong time is not an option.

For rolling stock, EN 50155 compliance is usually the key starting point, covering temperature, shock, vibration, power interruptions and EMC behaviour on trains. Many railway embedded PCs are also designed to meet EN 45545 for fire and smoke, and EN 50121-3-2 or EN 50121-4 for electromagnetic compatibility in onboard and trackside applications. Looking for these approvals gives you confidence that the PC has been tested against railway-specific conditions rather than general industrial benchmarks.

Rail deployments frequently run for a decade or more, so manageability matters as much as initial performance. Railway embedded box PCs typically offer hardware watchdogs, remote power control, health monitoring and support for out-of-band management technologies. Combined with locked-down operating system images, secure boot options and controlled update processes, this enables operators and integrators to roll out firmware and software changes safely across fleets of vehicles or cabinets without sending engineers to every unit.

We work closely with UK rail integrators, OEMs and operators to supply railway-grade embedded computers that match both technical and compliance requirements. Our team can help interpret standards, recommend suitable EN 50155 and EN 45545 platforms, and configure systems with your choice of memory, storage, I/O cards and operating system. Each build is assembled and tested in our UK facility, with options for custom labelling, gold images and extended soak tests. With local support, lifecycle planning and RMA handling, UK rail projects gain a trusted partner for long-term embedded computing across rolling stock and infrastructure.
