Rail Control Solutions
Locomotive control systems that revolutionize safety and efficiency.
Control Solutions for Safer and More Productive Railyards
For over four decades, Cattron has been a global leader in developing sophisticated locomotive remote control systems. Trusted by rail operators worldwide, our technology enables efficient, driverless operations in railyards, enhancing safety and productivity.
Our state-of-the-art systems utilize a comprehensive technology stack that allows operators to seamlessly manage switching locomotives from a wireless operator control unit. With intuitive speed control options, operators can precisely adjust locomotive speeds to match the dynamic requirements of modern rail operations. Real-time analytics and dashboards that are tied into the system provide detailed insights and reports that help optimize yard operations.
Safety in the Railyard
Cattron systems are equipped with advanced safety features to ensure secure operations under all conditions. These include features like Pitch and Catch, which provides reliable communication between the operator control unit and the locomotive, and Tilt Detection, which automatically detects and responds to unsafe angles, preventing accidents before they occur.
Global Certifications and Compliance
Our systems are designed to meet the highest standards of regulatory compliance. Whether operating within FRA-regulated environments in the Americas or adhering to TÜV Nord certification and SIL 3 requirements in EMEA and Oceania, Cattron’s solutions are tailored to meet local and international safety and operational standards.
