Join ABI Electronics at InnoTrans 2024: Pioneering a Sustainable Future in Rail Technology.

The InnoTrans exhibition has firmly established itself as the premier international platform for professionals in passenger and freight transport technology. Spanning 42 halls at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds, InnoTrans 2024 promises to be a hub of innovation, featuring cutting-edge advancements and world debuts that are shaping the future of the global rail industry.

Key Industry Trends and the Role of PCB Technology

As we look ahead to the future, several key themes are set to dominate the railway industry. Plans are set to introduce more reliable timetables and ticketing reforms, along with further network electrification. Driving these exciting developments is the printed circuit board (PCB). An integral part of a wide array of rail systems, it facilitates everything from driverless technology and signalling to door controls, braking systems, air conditioning, and passenger announcements.

With the rise of fully electric trains and metros, the functionality of PCBs has surged. Given their critical role in rail safety, the maintenance and repair of these boards cannot be overstated. A single faulty circuit can lead to significant disruptions, emphasising not only the importance of repair but also regular maintenance to enhance system reliability!

The Repair, Don’t Waste Philosophy

ABI’s commitment to sustainability is encapsulated in our “Repair, Don’t Waste” philosophy, the 2024 Sustainability Champion Award-winning initiative. This accolade highlights the innovative approach ABI brings to the electronics industry, advocating the shift from replacing faulty electronic components to prioritising repairs. This change is not only an environmentally responsible move, reducing the e-waste burden, but also offers significant benefits for companies, saving both time and money.

Our “Repair, Don’t Waste” initiative is more than just a strategy; it’s a movement towards a sustainable future for electronics, one that aligns with the rail sector’s push towards net-zero emissions. ABI’s solutions are designed to support this, providing a smooth transition and helping companies worldwide maintain the safety and efficiency of their rail systems while meeting their environmental goals.

A Legacy of Partnership and Innovation

For over 40 years, ABI has been a trusted partner in the rail industry, working with leading organisations across the globe, including well-known companies like Alstom, Irish Rail, Metro Sao Paulo, CAF, India Railways, and Korail in South Korea. Our advanced diagnostic and repair solutions have saved our customers thousands or, in some cases, millions of dollars annually, all while contributing to a more sustainable future.

At ABI, we believe that investing in in-house repair and maintenance capabilities is essential for industries committed to reducing emissions and e-waste. Our specialist test and measurement systems empower companies to achieve these goals, advancing their sustainable mobility initiatives and contributing to a greener future.
