Doc Frank chats with Michael Thiel from a small town in Austria near the border to Germany. Michael is the CEO of Frauscher Sensor Technology, a globally active signalling component supplier specialised in wheel sensors and axle counters. We talk about tips and tricks how being focused, specialised and close to the customers can help a small company compete successfully with much bigger players in the global rail signalling market. An insightful conversation that will offer something for everybody in the rail industry, signalling association or not.
Show notes:
1) The best support you can give to this show (apart from subscribing and sharing) is checking out the world’s most comprehensive training portal for advanced digital signalling and everything high capacity railways: https://docfranktraining.podia.com.
Many of the course offers on that portal are leading-edge and globally unique, and I would love if they could help boosting the understanding and confidence for those modern technologies of yourself or a coworker of yours who may benefit from such training. Thank you.
2) CBTC and enhanced varieties of ETCS promise an increase of signalling capacity, but if those technologies are not applied properly there will be disappointing outcomes. The “High Capacity Signalling Blueprint” training teaches how it is done right. More information here:
