The Copenhagen Metro project was developed on the basis of a detailed plan, whose initial phase consisted in starting up 12 stations as well as the depot and the control center. Covering a surface area of 11,000 square meters, the center houses the control room, the emergency room and all the tools and machinery required for regular operation and maintenance activity on trains and stations. The project’s second phase has seen the addition of six new stations.

The system is fully operational and reacts promptly and effectively to requirements. Atos Origin had already worked with our company successfully in the setting up of the SCADA system for Birmingham Light Railways. Thanks also to Atos Origin’s support, we have been able to set up Europe’s most modern light railway system. Atos Origin has proved to be a partner capable of providing advanced and reliable systems, confirming its expertise in this field.
