Schweizer Electronic AG, a Swiss family group founded in 1964 and based in Reiden, Central German Switzerland, deploys its safety solutions to the service of railway infrastructure throughout Europe. And it is now from Clermont-Ferrand that the markets of France, Belgium, Luxembourg and French-speaking Africa will be managed. With 17,000 level crossings in France, the majority of which are aging and electromechanical, the potential for modernization is immense. Apart from the desire of the Regions to reopen lines and the need to raise the level of safety for workers in the work areas. Schweizer Electronic France offers and deploys its rail safety solutions in the following three areas: - Upgrade of the level crossings with its Flex ranges (SAL0 to SAL4 with automatic control) authorized by the ESPF since June 2025 and VaMoS certified SIL4 (SAL0, adapted to the low traffic moment). - Protection of construction sites by DAPR with its Minimel Lynx SIL4 certified range, authorized by SNCF Réseau since June 2023, available in "fixed" (manual, semi-automatic and automatic) and portable for "mobile" (reconnaissance tour and small-scale construction site). Minimel Lynx is available for sale and rent from the Clermont-Fd website. - Remote control of SIL3 certified foot locomotives conforming to EN 50239, for use in manoeuvring and work phases. The solutions offered by Schweizer Electronic are truly disruptive alternatives to make the current technology available to companies and workers who work daily to modernize the railway infrastructure. The objectives are more safety, a marked improvement in the ergonomics of workers, control over the obsolescence of systems, efficient and frugal work organisations. The challenges are the reliability, sustainability and development of rail networks using proven technical solutions and relevant innovation. The success of the project to reopen the line between Montréjeau and Luchon and the regeneration of the crossings at the level of the Tramway du Mont-Blanc testify to the ability of Schweizer Electronic to integrate, adapt to the French market but also to bring its skills and know-how to the service of the sanitation of the railway infrastructure. Future projects in support of our construction clients, infrastructure managers, industrial companies, multimodal transport zones and major contractors are challenges and motivations for our development. Schweizer Electronic France is at your disposal to assist you in your approach to modernising your rail infrastructure and to help you define suitable and relevant solutions.
