Tailor-made hardware solutions
Custom hardware is always worthwhile when specific requirements are critical to the success of an entire project. This is particularly common in retrofit projects, where well-maintained and fully functional legacy systems are intended to interact with modern systems, but the necessary interfaces and communication protocols are lacking. However, even in new developments, specific performance parameters, form factors, protection mechanisms, or cooling capabilities that go beyond what standard solutions offer are sometimes essential.
At duagon, we are happy to take on such challenges and develop your hardware as well as the embedded software integrated into the product to precisely meet your requirements. This applies in particular to small production runs. Whether we use our standard products as a basis and adapt them, or design your product from the ground up, depends on your specifications. As specialists in railway technology, we can often use our expertise to meet the demanding requirements of many other industries as well, such as medical technology, energy generation, aerospace, and maritime.

Railway communications and network technology
Enhance the connectivity of your embedded hardware by integrating interfaces. We already meet many requirements with our standard products. If you need a specific form factor or a rare (such as a proprietary) interface, we’d be happy to develop and manufacture a custom solution for you.
When systems from different manufacturers need to interact, there is often no common communication protocol. duagon offers a wide range of gateways that translate between commonly used protocols. We are happy to develop custom solutions for less common requirements—for example, using FPGAs. This allows you to integrate fully functional systems into new infrastructures instead of having to replace them.
Many of our customers want to equip their computing hardware with very specific components that go beyond our standard products—for example, SSDs from specific manufacturers. Whenever possible, we are just as happy to accommodate such requests as we are to meet special cooling requirements and implement specific protective measures for extreme environmental conditions. This also includes custom requests for embedded software regarding BIOS configurations and operating systems.
We offer custom hardware development for the following hardware:
- CompactPCI-Serial systems
- Box PCs
- Modular embedded hardware for DIN rail mounting
- Processor modules as “computer-on-modules” (COM), and “single-board computers” (SBC)
Our services are particularly well-suited for functionally safe computer systems, whose requirements are usually highly project-specific.
Product-specific services
To ensure that you can reliably obtain your standard product and your custom-designed hardware solution for many years to come and use it without any effort on your part, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of supporting services.
Additional Services
In addition to our hardware development, standard products, and custom hardware solutions, we can provide you with a wide range of complementary services upon request, such as:
- Development of embedded software, application software, and functionally safe software up to SIL 4 for use in trains and along the track
- Services for train control and signaling systems (ATO, ATP, CBTC, ERTMS, ATC, ATS, RTMS, CTC, TMS)
- RAMS management and V&V processes for functionally safe systems
