ITSS: Certified Innovation

ITSS, based in Valencia, Spain, is an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified company. Founded in 2005, it is led by German engineers specializing in railway safety, with extensive experience and a successful track record in developing hot box and hot wheel detection systems.

Since its inception, our focus has been research and development (R&D) and innovation. The continued growth and stability of the company are due in large part to the confidence our customers have in our customized solutions.

We not only develop and produce these systems but also oversee their installation and maintenance.

Security Solutions

With increasing train speeds, higher axle loads, and the use of different types of wagons, innovative systems are required.

The company’s flagship products, PEGASUS and AGUILA, use state-of-the-art infrared and fiber optic technology, making them extremely reliable even under the most challenging operating conditions.

ITSS systems are equipped with self-monitoring and predictive analysis features, allowing them to detect potential issues well in advance. Additionally, they are designed with redundant and fail-safe components to minimize false alarms.

Global Collaboration

ITSS actively collaborates with railway operators worldwide, committed to enhancing the safety, comfort, convenience, and economic efficiency of passenger and freight operations.

We provide standard and customized solutions, both in hardware and software, that represent the perfect blend of expertise and innovation.

ITSS systems are installed worldwide, including in Australia, Germany, Turkey, Belgium, Uruguay, Italy, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Russia, and Spain.
