SNCF Voyageurs orders additional IoT gateways from STIMIO

Following on from the five-year framework contract between STIMIO and the French passenger operator, SNCF Voyageurs is ordering 140 additional MELI communication gateways. This new order is in line with the large-scale industrialisation objectives of the AVISE¹ project.

Nearly 1,500 sensors have already been deployed and installed for the prevention of incidents of unsecured Corail’s doors in a first phase of the project (Lot 1).

Lot 2, on which this new order relates, intents to deploy 6,000 new MARTI sensors and some 500 MELI² communication gateways.

This new commitment testifies once again the confidence of SNCF in STIMIO who are extremely proud to see thei IoT solutions and connected devices playing a leading role in SNCF’s digitalisation, monitoring and supervision programme.

Philippe de Laharpe, Telediagnostic Project Manager at SNCF Voyageurs, said: “Complex connected objects are not that common. In the railway world, until the creation of ‘MARTI & MELI’, there were no offers of certified railway components. STIMIO brings us here real Swiss Army knives serving many use cases, well beyond just monitoring the doors.”
