EAO made a strong impression at the InnoTrans trade fair with a walk-in railcar and showcased a host of new products. Visitor interest in HMI Solutions for the rail sector was enormous and the feedback was very positive. In addition, an eloquent member of staff caused quite a stir.

InnoTrans is the most important event for suppliers of HMI Solutions in the rail sector when it comes to meeting customers. The bar was set correspondingly high. EAO responded with a walk-in train carriage. Anyone who stepped inside could see the Swiss Alpine panorama passing by outside the windows. Inside the carriage, visitors were able to try out EAO’s new HMI Solutions for the rail sector first-hand. They pressed buttons, familiarised themselves with the seat reservation system and tested the charging solutions. In the end, EAO attracted more prospective customers than at any previous InnoTrans. The stand team held very productive discussions, and the stand itself also received a great deal of praise.

New Products Launched

Feedback on the new Universal Sound Module and the 56 Touchless Series was consistently positive. With the Sound Module, visitors were particularly impressed by the modern design, the improved sound quality and the ability to upload audio files. The 56 Touchless Series won over visitors with its versatility. It can be mounted on a classic front bezel, mounted from the rear and combined with tactile buttons. The new ConfigSuite was also well received for its user interface and the possibilities it offers for parameterisation. The wireless charging solutions also attracted a great deal of interest. Passengers simply place their mobile devices on the charging surface and the battery recharges – without the need for any cables of their own.

Expert Product Manager Pascal Bläsi held many discussions at the EAO stand. His personal impression of InnoTrans:

Pascal Bläsi, Expert Product Manager at EAO, said:

Our new products came at exactly the right time. This enables us to provide customers with optimal support during the design-in phase that is now beginning.

Nova, the Language Genius

Nova, the new EAO employee, also caused quite a stir. The digital avatar answered all questions about EAO, its products, services and HMI Solutions. What impressed visitors from all over the world most were Nova’s language skills. She switched fluently between Mandarin, Hungarian, Arabic and Hindi. She probably would have spoken Klingon too, but nobody from there found their way to the EAO stand.

The InnoTrans appearance has reinforced EAO’s reputation as an expert in HMI Solutions for the rail sector. The coming months will reveal what projects emerge from this. In any case, the EAO train has really picked up speed.

Available to Order from 2027
The Universal Sound Module and the 56 Touchless Series will be launched in the course of 2027. From then on, you will be able to order both new products from EAO.
