Graham Creek, managing director of the UK-based PIR manufacturer Luminite, says the : “Achilles Link Up status demonstrates that Luminite is a high quality and reliable supplier, meeting the demanding requirements of the rail industry. The Link Up programme drives high performance and continuous improvement amongst supplier members.

“Theft of materials from railways and trespassing are on the increase, with potentially catastrophic results for individuals and the rail service. Our Genesis wireless PIRs are ideal for detecting people on railway lines, at any time of day or night. Battery powered operation makes the PIRs especially suitable for use in remote locations, rapid deployment applications and on sections of track which are difficult to access. Luminite is proud to be officially recognised as a rail industry supplier.”
