History

Since 2011, Parametric has evolved from hardware-focused R&D to the team behind RET and RETWiz—an edge-to-cloud platform that converts onboard data into clear, AI-driven insights for trams, urban transit, mainline rail and buses.

Laying the
Groundwork

Image

Our Story

In 2011, we founded Parametric GmbH in Seftigen, BE, Switzerland to deliver high-quality R&D services for third parties.

By 2012, we were leading full software projects and formal requirements management, bringing structure and accountability to complex engineering work.

From Home
to Rail

Image

Our Story

In 2013, we engineered hardware for NEEO’s home automation platform, took our first steps into rail technology and defense, and rolled out the first RAR4 (3G) deployments.

In 2014, we moved from Uetendorf to Interlaken and delivered our first service center project—replacing power supplies in building control systems to keep critical infrastructure running.

Monitoring at Scale,
Screens in the Field

Our Story

In 2015, we delivered device and software for Swisscom’s infrastructure monitoring, shipped the first 1,000 RAR4 hardware units, and co-developed a LoRaWAN timestamping gateway reference design with Aartesys for Semtech.

In 2016, we took our display tech to the forecourt with the first rollout of Parabright DENEB petrol station screens.

Expansion to Orbit

Image

Our Story

We grew in 2017, extending our Interlaken Aareckstrasse office and building the PCR radar sensor for Swiss Post.

In 2018, momentum accelerated: the RAR4 software platform went live; 1,000 Parabright DENEB screens were delivered; 3,500 RAR4 units shipped with first LTE versions; the PCR2 sensor was developed; satellite payloads were delivered to Lacuna Space; and RAR4 went live for ABB in Adelaide, Australia.

5G Trials
& Product Scale-Up

Image

Our Story

In 2019, we launched TOPSNAP-LR with first deployments, moved to Waldeggstrasse 82, conducted our first 5G tests with SBB (SmartRail 4.0), began the EU project Cloud Based CBTC, developed the TCR sensor, and shipped second-generation Parabright petrol station screens.

In 2020, we built the RDR RFID reader, expanded our Waldeggstrasse warehouse, reached 1,500 Parabright DENEB screens in operation, and our service center converted 2,000 rail routers to LTE.

Charging Ahead & New Headquarters

Image

Our Story

In 2021, we developed the SBX battery charger for radar sensors and delivered a second project with ABB Australia for Queensland Rail.

In 2022, we launched the ALGOL platform, completed our first RET platform project—electronic LED posters in F12 format—and moved our headquarters to Industriestrasse 19 in Wilderswil.

Spin-Offs
& Scale

Image

Our Story

2023 marked the spin-off of PMX Systems AG, enabling sharper product focus.

In 2024, we spun off Parasigna AG and added a new branch office in Bern at Belpstrasse 37 to support growth and collaboration.

Partners & AI Insights

Image

Our Story

In 2025, we launched our Consulting Partner Program, expanding delivery with trusted experts.

We also introduced RETWiz, the analysis software for our Real-time Edge Telemetry (RET) system: onboard devices capture sound, vibration, temperature, weather and more; AI flags patterns and risks in the cloud; a simple web app turns it into clear, drill-down insights—helping keep transport safer, more reliable and more efficient.
