LYVE @ CNA e.V. Innovation Award 2024

Often presented and now awarded.
After our KYT – Know Your Train portfolio was awarded in 2022, our LYVE product portfolio has now made it to the final round in this year’s CNA e.V. Innovation Award competition. Our CEO Mathias Beer received the certificate in a festive setting.
We are honered with this special award and would like to thank the jury and the CNA. We would also like to thank our technology partner Pinpoint GmbH for the outstanding collaboration on the indoor positioning.
Special thanks, however, to the employees of Ci4Rail, who have made the LYVE portfolio such a cool product. 🎆

Monitoring and identification of faults in the infrastructure at Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB)

We are proud to support Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB) as part of an EU-funded project to reduce the ecological footprint of public transport. Over the next two years, we will be collecting condition data, identifying faults and carrying out analyses to optimize maintenance activities, specifically in relation to overhead lines, pantographs, rails and track systems. In addition, we will process energy consumption data in order to identify the energy cost drivers in relation to vehicle, circulation, climate, time of day, position, etc. and thus reduce daily operating costs through suitable measures.

Final report of the C-NA working group

Under the auspices of the C-NA (Think Tank for Mobility, Transport & Logistics), various topics are addressed across companies in so-called Innovation Circles. As part of the Innovation Circle IT Security, a working group specifically discussed IT security for the maintenance interfaces for vehicle electronics in railway applications. The final report is now available.

Many thanks to the participants of the working group from the companies IoW, Incyde, DLR, Infoteam, VAG, Critical Software, Wabtec, Ci4Rail.

The final report is available for download here.

You can find us at many events in 2024

We have a busy year ahead of us. We look forward to holding interesting discussions with you and presenting our products and services at the various trade fairs.

ModBlox7 - How the diverse field of industrial PCs is being standardized

Standardization brings us manufacturers many advantages, but above all it gives our customers the opportunity to generate long-lasting system architectures and avoid vendor lock-in.
You can read about how ModBlox7 can help in this article.

ISO 9001 Certification

We are pleased to have successfully mastered another milestone in our company’s development.

In November 2022 we successfully passed our initial audit for ISO 9001:2015 and KBA (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt – Federal Office for Motor Vehicles) – without any major or minor deviation!

In November 2023 we passed our first supervision audit also without any deviations. 

So we are now also able to develop, produce and deliver UN ECE R10 qualified products for the automotive market with E1 label.

IT Security for the maintenance interface

Digitalisation is the greatest opportunity in the rail sector to achieve Germany’s and Europe’s climate targets. Digitalisation and autonomous driving can increase the competitiveness of the railways, increase transport capacities and improve customer satisfaction. Connectivity and standardisation can also enable predictions and real-time optimisation. However, this is accompanied by an increased dependency on the availability of data and the digital infrastructure of the railways. At the same time, this also increases vulnerability to cyber attacks. Developments in recent months and years show that the critical railway infrastructure is increasingly becoming the focus of attackers. It is clear to everyone involved that the transport of people and goods is worth protecting in many respects, which includes protecting the IT security of the systems in terms of confidentiality, integrity and availability.

How standardization helps to develop more stable system architectures.

Can the Industrial PC Market Scale Any Further?

Jeder Systemarchitekt kennt das Dilemma. Am liebsten würde er alles selbst im eigenen Haus entwickeln lassen. Dann wäre es wenigstens exakt so, wie es für ihre/seine Systemarchitektur perfekt passen würde. Immer weniger Unternehmen können sich dieses Vorgehen leisten,...

Ci4Rail – Digitalization-Start-Up with 80 years of experience
