KME Partners with Unipart Rail to Monitor the UK Rail Industry

Monitor manufacturer KME announces the formation of a cooperative partnership with Unipart Rail (formerly NRS), the UK’s leading railway logistics, materials and solutions provider, to jointly develop monitors for the UK rail industry.

The new range of colour screen, flat panel monitors will be manufactured by KME and distributed through Unipart Rail to the rail industry. The monitors are suitable for a number of rail applications and as replacements for the obsolescent Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors.

The plug and play units can quickly and simply replace existing CRT monitors or be used in new installations. The monitors are designed to deal with special video signals and mechanical requirements, which can relate to CRT monitors that are still in use.



The Level Crossing Monitors will initially be used in a Network Rail project in Portsmouth. They are suitable for interfacing with either colour or monochrome CCTV cameras, the monitors benefit from power & signal connectors at the rear, with BNC input and have a 75R termination switch enabling slaving of signals to adjacent monitors. The monitors are provided in a rugged metal case with a toughened glass protection screen and have optional side brackets for console mounting. The clear picture and wide viewing angle make these ideal for situations where the safety of both passengers and public are critical.

KME Managing Director, Nick Roche, says: “Rail is a focus industry for us and we are confident that the combination of Unipart Rail’s extensive experience providing solutions to the rail network, with KME’s innovative and reliable approach will be a successful venture.”

Established in 1976, KME design and manufacture a complete range of approved LCD-TFT monitors for the worldwide market. With a reputation built on the production of solid and reliable products for demanding environmental conditions, KME have developed an expanding range of standard and custom LCD-TFT monitors and flat-panel PC’s that are ideal for industrial, marine, transport and military markets.

TFT panels are now available from Unipart Rail and further information can be found at www.natrail.com/TFT.
