Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) is collaborating with
Kontron, a global leader in embedded computing technology, to bring
smart, connected “Internet of Things” technology to rail and train
travel. The two companies are exhibiting Kontron’s innovative
TRACe™ technology this week at Railway Interchange 2015, one of the
largest combined railway exhibition and technical conferences in
North America.
Arrow’s Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) Computing
Solutions business provides customized storage solutions and
integration support for the Kontron family of modular TRACe
computers—a comprehensive line of rugged computers designed
explicitly to cost-effectively manage and monitor railroad system
operations, safety and reliability by providing real-time status
information to train operators.
“Arrow is excited to work with Kontron on enhancing the safety,
efficiency and overall reliability of rail transportation through
smart, connected technology like TRACe,” said Brian Armstrong, vice
president of Arrow’s OEM computing solutions business. “The
customization, integration and manufacturing support we provide
Kontron are right in Arrow’s sweet spot.”
Kontron’s TRACe computers function as gateways,
control-management systems and network video recorders. They can
monitor large rail fleets spread across great distances, and their
feature-rich building blocks allow for design flexibility. TRACe
computers are Railways EN15055 certified and feature leading-edge
computer technology, including Intel Quad-core processors and
multiple memory and storage devices.
“Kontron has enjoyed a long and prosperous relationship with
Arrow,” said Kevin Rhoads, executive vice president, business unit
avionics, transportation and defense for Kontron. “We knew exactly
who to turn to when we needed support integrating and customizing
our connected TRACe technology.”
In addition to providing Kontron with customization and
integration support for its TRACe products, Arrow also markets and
distributes Kontron’s full line of embedded computing products
across the Americas and EMEA.
