Driving Innovation on Oslo’s Metro
When Oslo’s metro network set out to boost capacity and efficiency, Siemens Mobility AS stepped up with cutting-edge technology. As the trusted supplier behind the city’s MX3000 metro trains, Siemens is now leading the way with the new CBTC signaling system, a game-changer that enables more frequent departures, smoother rides, and energy-efficient operations across the entire network, including the upcoming Fornebubanen line.
But innovation doesn’t stop at signaling. To ensure flawless execution, Siemens Mobility invested in a state-of-the-art cable marking solution from Hans Følsgaard Norway AS, a move that’s transforming how critical infrastructure is documented and maintained.
Precision Cable Marking for a Safer, Smarter Metro
Clear cable identification is essential for maintenance, troubleshooting, and future upgrades. That’s why Siemens chose a specialized printer capable of double-sided printing on halogen-free, low-smoke shrink sleeves, fully compliant with EN 45545-2 railway standards. Each marker carries unique identifiers based on Siemens’ own lists, ensuring maximum traceability and safety.
Tommy Svanor, from Hans Følsgaard AS, explains:
“The combination of our innovative printer design and intuitive software allows Siemens Mobility to print on both sides of the shrink sleeve quickly and efficiently, saving time and reducing errors.”
A Cost-Effective Investment for Today and Tomorrow
Siemens Mobility’s team, including Jarle Indrelid and Adrian Dahl Hagen (Image), are thrilled with the solution:
“This setup simplifies cable marking and will be invaluable for future projects. It’s a smart, cost-effective investment.”
With multiple train sets under construction simultaneously, efficiency is everything. By partnering with Hans Følsgaard, Siemens Mobility gains not just a product, but a collaboration built on technical expertise and trust.
