Interfaces engineered for safe, clear and reliable operation

Where Critical Systems Meet Their Operators

A door has to close safely. A driver has to understand a warning without hesitation. A control room has to stay clear when conditions are anything but. MAFELEC TEAM engineers the interfaces, detection, protection and lighting that make critical systems usable, reliable and ready for the environment around them.

Real-world projects demonstrate reliability across demanding environments

Applications Proven in Practice

Lille Metro Modernization

Challenge Provide reliable control and interface solutions for a highly automated metro network operating under intensive daily service conditions.

Approach MAFELEC developed railway-certified HMI components focused on reliability, durability and seamless integration into metro operations.

Result The solutions improve operational efficiency, system availability and long-term reliability across the Lille Metro network.

M-Light for Paris Metro

Challenge Provide a modern LED lighting solution for metro vehicles that improves visibility, reliability and efficiency while meeting strict railway standards.

Approach MAFELEC deployed its M-Light technology, combining multiple lighting functions in a durable and railway-certified LED system.

Result The solution enhances operational safety, reduces maintenance requirements and supports the modernization of the Paris Metro fleet.

Siemens Mireo Cut-Off

Challenge Provide a reliable battery isolation system for modern regional trains that ensures safety during maintenance while meeting strict railway requirements.

Approach MAFELEC developed a railway-certified cut-off solution tailored to the Siemens Mireo platform, focusing on safety, reliability and easy integration.

Result The solution improves maintenance safety, operational reliability and long-term performance while supporting efficient fleet operation.

Bangkok Rail Lighting

Challenge Bangkok rail projects required compact LED lighting units that combined white and red functions while also matching different train designs, operator expectations, and line-specific visual identities.

Approach MAFELEC combined standard railway lights with custom optical units, using integrated LED assemblies, diffusing optical fibers, and adapted material choices to meet both functional and design needs.

Result The projects delivered reliable LED lighting for multiple Bangkok rail networks and showed MAFELEC's ability to create both standard and custom solutions for different operators and train platforms.

M-Light Rail Retrofit

Challenge Many European trains still use halogen or filament lamps, causing weak lighting, frequent replacement every 6 to 8 months, and difficulties meeting current operational and regulatory requirements.

Approach MAFELEC supplied retrofit-ready M-Light LED solutions compliant with railway standards and supported each project with installation assessment, first-fit assistance, and on-site optical measurements.

Result Operators achieved better lighting performance, lower maintenance, and reduced energy consumption while modernizing older rolling stock with reliable, standards-aligned LED systems.

M-Light for Rail Retrofit

Challenge Many European rail vehicles still use filament or halogen lamps, leading to insufficient lighting, compliance gaps, and bulb replacement cycles every 6 to 8 months. Retrofit projects also need to fit existing vehicle constraints.

Approach MAFELEC provided retrofit-ready LED railway lights compliant with EN 15153-1 and TSI LOC&PAS, plus technical support including system assessment, first-fit assistance, and on-site optical measurements.

Result Operators gained a reliable way to modernize older rolling stock with better lighting performance, lower maintenance effort, improved energy efficiency, and support for meeting current railway requirements.

Kitchens CHARVET

Challenge Develop durable and heat-resistant control interfaces for industrial cooking equipment operating under extreme temperature and intensive-use conditions.

Approach MAFELEC designed robust HMI solutions optimized for professional kitchen environments, focusing on heat resistance, ergonomics and long-term reliability.

Result The control systems deliver safe, intuitive and durable operation of industrial ovens and cooking equipment in demanding environments.

Emergency Call Systems

Challenge Design reliable emergency call interfaces capable of operating in harsh outdoor environments while ensuring accessibility, durability and immediate usability in critical situations.

Approach MAFELEC developed sealed, robust and ergonomic emergency call components optimized for infrastructure and mobility applications.

Result The system delivers dependable emergency communication with high resistance to environmental stress and vandalism, improving overall safety and operational reliability.
