ST950 traffic controller
Building on the success of its predecessors, the latest generation ST950 traffic controller designed and built in the UK by Siemens and launched last year is already establishing a presence around the world. From Brazil and Chile to South Africa and the Middle East, no less than 400 global variants of the ST950 have been ordered and built at the company’s award-winning UK factory in Dorset.
Recent orders placed include over 70 new ST950 traffic controllers for deployment in Durban and Port Elizabeth in South Africa and a substantial quantity of associated traffic management and detection equipment.
The ST950 traffic controller family will be on show at Intertraffic 2014, this week, bringing a host of new features and new levels of accessibility and safety to the market. Integral UTMC OTU, 4-stream MOVA 7, LRT functionality, easy to follow web style user interfaces and safer operation are just some of the ST950 highlights.
International opportunities continue to grow and Siemens is well placed to provide best value in overseas markets. In addition to consultancy services and many years experience of overseas traffic installations, Siemens has specific products and services designed to meet the individual requirements of many countries and cities worldwide.
Reinforcing the company’s ability to compete on the world stage, the continued export of PCBs for overseas traffic control products represents around 50% of all PCB production at the company’s Poole manufacturing base.
Employing over 100 full-time staff, the company’s manufacturing site builds 300 live-line products in addition to managing a range of other activities and providing technical support.
In recent years, the factory has gained BSI accreditation for environmental management and winning prestigious industry awards for excellence from the British Quality Foundation, ASLEC and HEMSA also highlights the company’s recent achievements in the UK and commitment towards continuous improvement.
