– SWISS ENGINEERED SAFETY · SINCE 1974
Safety-Critical Control and Drive Systems for Amusement Rides & Passenger Transport
INAUTEC develops, manufactures, and validates safety-critical control systems for roller coasters, Ferris wheels, people movers, and monorails—from initial risk assessment to global commissioning, all under one roof in Wollerau, Switzerland.
– Why Inautec
Trust Built on Swiss Precision
International operators and ride manufacturers rely on our automation systems. Every control cabinet and safety logic unit undergoes the same rigorous engineering process and complete test-rig validation before dispatch.
AVAILABILITY
Maximum System Availability
Redundant safety architectures, fault-tolerant control logic, and advanced diagnostic tools minimize unplanned downtime, delivering maximum operational reliability under harsh environmental conditions.
SWISS MADE
Swiss Engineering & In-House Manufacturing
All systems are engineered, assembled, and validated at our headquarters in Wollerau. Short decision paths, complete component traceability, and high quality standards ensure long-term system performance.
VALIDATION
Comprehensive Pre-Delivery Testing
Every control system undergoes full-scale testing on in-house test benches. Operational procedures, safety functions, and fault conditions are hardware-simulated and certified before leaving our facility.
