Your requirements and those of your travellers are at the core of HMI Solutions from EAO. Our aspiration is to reconcile both of these: train crews value the intuitive operation of our HMI Systems with the UIC control fields, whether for displaying faults or controlling the air conditioning or light and energy supply. Key-insert switches from EAO facilitate operation of doors, steps, and end-of-train lighting.
