Rail

FR8Works provides complete visibility into railcar movements in and out of your yard using infrastructure and advanced digital data collection techniques.

As a consist enters the yard, the tag interface module (TIM) scans and checks in each railcar. When a railcar departs, it is automatically checked out, giving organizations real-time insights into their railcar inventory and dwell.

Key Features

Real-Time Inventory

See your inventory update in real-time. No more will you have to wait for someone to walk the track and take inventory for insights into your inventory. Railcars are automatically added/removed as a railcar enters/exits site.

Consist Tracking

Automatically captures and records each consist as it enters or exits your site, displaying all railcars in their exact order of appearance. Provide a clear and accurate record of railcar sequences and groupings, helping you track which cars arrived together and in what order.

Mark for Storage

Storage tracking feature allows rail yards to flag specific railcars for storage, distinguishing them from other high dwell railcars that may have arrived by mistake. This helps sites proactively manage inventory and avoid unnecessary demurrage fees by providing clear visibility into which railcars are intended to be on-site.

No Fees or Errors

Know instantly what is currently on site with access to accurate inventory data. This serves as a centralized source of truth, reducing labor costs associated with double-checking inventory and helping to avoid unnecessary fees.
