Nationwide support for Deutsche Bahn’s security concept
euromicron Deutschland GmbH has been awarded a master agreement relating to video surveillance solutions by DB Station&Service AG. As a result, the system house subsidiary of euromicron AG will also provide support for DB’s security concept in the coming years. The contract will run for a term of three years.
Frankfurt/Main / Neu-Isenburg – euromicron Deutschland GmbH has again been awarded a contract from DB Station&Service AG to optimize existing video surveillance systems at long-distance train stations. In the open invitation to tender, the system house subsidiary of euromicron AG was able to impress DB Station&Service with its solution portfolio in the field of video surveillance. The master agreement will run for three years, with the option of renewing it for a further year. It covers delivery, installation, configuration and system integration of video surveillance systems at long-distance train stations – without interruption to ongoing operations. euromicron has already implemented cutting-edge, full-HD IP video surveillance solutions for Deutsche Bahn in the past, such as at the highly frequented central stations in Bremen, Hamburg, Hanover, Cologne and Nuremberg – including expansion of existing network infrastructures.
By implementing the contractually defined measures, euromicron will also support the security concept launched by Deutsche Bahn together with the German government in the future. Optimization of existing video control systems is intended to further improve surveillance inside and outside long-distance train stations and so facilitate measures by the police to prevent and prosecute crimes. DB Station&Service AG also uses the video technology to monitor operational processes and enable more precise train announcements. As a result, rail customers not only benefit from greater security, but also more efficient controlling of operations and better information.
“When existing master agreements expire at the end of their scheduled term, even tried-and-proven partners of Deutsche Bahn have to undergo and so compete with other bidders in a new invitation to tender,” explains Bettina Meyer, Spokeswoman of the Executive Board of euromicron AG. “It’s anything but a given to win a contract again in the highly sensitive field of security technology. So we’re all the more delighted that we’ll be able to assist Deutsche Bahn in implementing its security concept in the future, as well. The new contract is not only confirmation of our performance over the past years, but also a demonstration of the trust in the euromicron Group’s strategic alignment, especially with regard to our customers’ growing requirements relating to the issue of digitization,” says Bettina Meyer.
