Quality made in Germany

In-house production with highly qualified specialists, state-of-the-art production and control systems and optimised logistics is one of the cornerstones of our philosophy Traditional. Innovative. SOLUTIONS. Our modular digital and analogue train radio systems (cab radios) are developed and produced at our Kölleda site. Our production flexibility ensures that we can fulfil the wide range of variants required by our customers. Assembly and test workstations specially designed for cab radios form the backbone of high quality.

Funkwerk attaches great importance to care, precision and quality throughout the entire production process. For example, following a comprehensive audit of the „Stationary customer information“ product group, Deutsche Bahn AG awarded Funkwerk 100 out of a possible 100 points (rating of „Outstanding“) in its supplier evaluation. A doubling of production figures between 2017 and 2019 demonstrates the flexibility and scalability of Funkwerk's production capacity. Additional resources were created by expanding the production area in 2021.

Facts and figures

Funkwerk has a fully comprehensive production process ranging from manual assembly for small and very complex runs to state-of-the-art, fully automated production systems - from PCB assembly to drying, coating and testing. In order to meet the project-specific requirements of our customers, individual cables or customised cable harnesses are assembled directly in-house.

In addition to development, the production of all PCBs and components as well as final assembly, testing and burn-in takes place at the Kölleda site. Modern AOI and computer-aided fault exclusion systems guarantee the highest possible quality of the assemblies throughout the entire production process. With a focus on sustainability, health and environmental protection, Funkwerk produces RoHS-compliant printed circuit boards that are completely lead-free.

The assembled circuit boards and modules for cab radio production and the components for the display systems are prepared for assembly at special workstations and integrated into the housings provided with the corresponding wiring.

All finished devices are subjected to an endurance test after a visual and functional quality check. This is followed by software updates or the installation of customer software. With a final system check, the devices are tested in existing systems and approved by our quality assurance department.

The pre-assembly and final assembly of all components and end devices also takes place in Kölleda, although the passenger information division has an additional production site in Karlsfeld near Munich.
