Key Features
Real-Time Inventory
Keep your railcar inventory current without waiting for a manual track inspection. Railcars are automatically added as they arrive and removed as they depart.
Consist Tracking
Capture each consist as it enters or leaves your yard, preserving the order railcars pass the reader. Give your team a clear record of which cars arrived or departed together.
Mark for Storage
Flag railcars intentionally held for storage so your team can distinguish them from other cars with extended dwell times. Keep a clearer inventory and focus attention on railcars that need review.
Avoid Costly Oversights
Give your team one centralized view of on-site railcars. Reduce time spent double-checking inventory and use dwell information to identify cars that may need attention before additional charges accumulate.
Keep Personnel Off the Tracks
Reduce the need for staff to walk the tracks to identify railcars. Automated identification limits exposure to moving equipment, uneven surfaces, and harsh weather.
On the Job 24/7
Automatically record railcars passing your entry and exit readers, day or night. Keep arrival and departure records current without relying on manual observation.
