The products we design and develop are manufactured within our own modern facilities where we perform total systems integration and software development. We also keep a severe and rigorous control of quality not only of all our own products but also of all those products and services that are subcontracted to companies officially approved by us.
Dimetronic Signals acts in most cases as Main Contractor assuming therefore the responsibility and control of all aspects of the signalling project. The contracts often include, besides the usual work to be carried out in railway signalling, other tasks such as Communications, Passenger Information Systems, SCADA or Power Management Systems in stations.
Our extensive and well-proven knowledge of the working practices of different Railway Administrations makes us aware of all aspects of track safety that need to be taken into account during all installation works on and around the track. Safety cases for the system to be installed are developed to ensure the complete safety of operation of the new equipment and the overall system.
It is in Engineering, both in the areas of Research & Development and in the application of contracted systems, where Dimetronic Signals concentrates and applies most of its human resources, labour to which it dedicates more than 200 skilled university graduates and technicians in order to maintain a technological leadership in railway signalling.
Quality Assurance is a vital element in our Organisation and our commitment with Quality is accredited with the Certified ISO 9001 granted by AENOR.
