FUNCTION
Railway vehicles remain in service for many years, making durable and robust electronics essential. Syslogic railway computers use only industrial-grade components and guarantee “form, fit, and function” for up to 20 years. Specifically designed and manufactured for rolling-stock applications, these railway computers are certified according to EN50155 and EN45545 HL3, ensuring compliance with stringent industry standards.
In addition to railway systems, Syslogic also provides transportation computers for road vehicles such as buses and shuttles. These transportation computers carry UN/ECE R10 (E-Mark) type approval, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance in automotive applications.
Embedded systems in railway vehicles must withstand intense shock and vibration. Syslogic provides EN50155- and OT4-certified railway computers engineered specifically for demanding rail applications. Trusted by leading manufacturers worldwide, Syslogic railway computers deliver long-term reliability in rolling stock environments.
Box PCs for trackside rail applications must meet the same stringent requirements as industrial computers used inside rail vehicles. In off-train environments, failures in systems responsible for functions such as route monitoring or track vacancy detection can quickly create safety risks. Syslogic’s trackside-grade industrial computers are engineered for maximum reliability to ensure safe and stable rail operations.
Syslogic provides eMark-certified on-board computers specifically designed for public transport vehicles such as city buses. As a specialist in mobile computing, Syslogic delivers robust systems backed by key industrial certifications including eMark, EN 55022, EN 55024, EN 61000-6-2, and EN 61000-6-4—ensuring reliable performance in demanding bus environments.
Syslogic railway computers are EN50155-certified, class S2, and built for rolling stock applications. They resist shock, vibration, and EMC issues per EN61373, and comply with EN45545-2 fire safety standards for rail vehicles.
Railway operators need on-board computers that remain available throughout the lifecycle of rolling stock. Syslogic ensures long-term availability through careful component selection and a fixed Bill of Materials (BoM), supporting reliable operation for years of service.
Syslogic railway computers offer wireless options such as Wi-Fi, 4G, and 5G, enabling reliable and future-proof cloud communication. An optional u-blox GNSS receiver adds RTK and dead-reckoning navigation capabilities for enhanced positioning accuracy.
Our technical sales team will be happy to advise you. Depending on the required quantity, Syslogic can develop a customized made-to-order IPC.

Railway and transportation computers must meet numerous rail-specific standards and requirements. Worldwide, only a few providers specialize in certified embedded systems for rail applications. Below, we outline the key considerations for railway computers and answer the most frequently asked questions.
Railway electronics must comply with strict industry standards to ensure safety, reliability, and durability in rail applications. The most important standards include EN50155 for electronic equipment on rolling stock, EN61373 for shock and vibration resistance, EN45545-2 for fire protection, and EMC standards such as EN55022 and EN55024. Syslogic railway computers are fully certified to meet these requirements, providing reliable and compliant solutions for rail operators worldwide.
Drawing on over 30 years' experience in the rail industry, Syslogic provides embedded systems designed specifically for railway applications. Their products are EN50155-certified for reliability and offer robust shock and vibration resistance, as well as compliance with rail-specific standards such as EN61373 and EN45545-2. Syslogic supplies manufacturers of rail vehicles, including those of locomotives, trains and trams. The company also provides solutions to rail operators worldwide. Syslogic's railway computers provide safe, reliable, and future-proof solutions for rolling stock and rail infrastructure thanks to their long-term availability, optional wireless connectivity, and real-time diagnostics support.
Syslogic offers embedded computers for a wide range of applications. In general, these industrial computers are ideal wherever environmental requirements are particularly demanding. Common use cases include traffic technology, railway systems, construction machinery, and agricultural equipment. Syslogic devices from the Rugged Computer line meet protection standards IP67/IP69 and rank among the most robust box computers on the market.
Railway computers play a central role in modern trains, managing a wide range of critical applications. They control and monitor on-board systems such as traction and braking, passenger information, lighting and HVAC, ticketing and fare collection, CCTV and security, and communication with central control systems. Syslogic railway computers ensure these systems operate reliably under harsh conditions, providing safety, efficiency, and real-time data access throughout the train’s operation.
Yes, Syslogic railway computers are designed not only for on-board use but also for off-train applications such as trackside monitoring, signaling, track vacancy detection, tunnel surveillance, and CCTV at stations. Their rugged design, compliance with railway standards, and reliable connectivity make them ideal for remote data acquisition, real-time analysis, and integration with cloud-based rail management systems.
Yes, Syslogic railway computers are also well-suited for public transport vehicles such as buses and trams. Many models are eMark-certified, ensuring compliance with automotive standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). With robust design, long-term availability, and reliable connectivity, Syslogic embedded systems provide safe and efficient operation in both rail and road-based transport applications.
Syslogic railway computers are used by leading rail vehicle manufacturers and prominent rail operators worldwide. While many customer relationships are covered by NDAs, publicly known users include Stadler Rail and the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). Syslogic also serves companies that develop software for the rail industry, such as the Danish firm Cubris. This extensive customer base highlights Syslogic’s expertise and trusted solutions for rolling stock and rail infrastructure worldwide.
