Challenges with Railcars and Rail Boxes Visibility

Rail car tracking typically involves railway portals utilizing the train’s GPS or RFID, a system that brings about specific challenges.

CHALLENGE #1

Time-delayed or incorrect information about railcars, such as when the train (rake) is tracked as a unit.

CHALLENGE #2

Lack of information on railcar availability and pickup readiness through full/empty status and usage cycle status.

CHALLENGE #3

Inability to optimize rail trips creating excess railcar inventory, lack of railcars when needed, or high rental cost.

How Roambee's Solution Works for Railcars

STEP 1:

Visibility

Better visibility by combining order information with real-time location and condition data from IoT sensors affixed on railcars capable of recharging using renewable solar power and data streams from rail operations.

STEP 2:

Alerts & Signals

Built on verifiable visibility, alerts & signals empower better decisions and drive automation. For example, a business signal about idling railcars is derived by sensing use cycle milestones and full/empty status, enabling retrieval and utilization.

STEP 3:

Intelligence

Use AI-powered network insights & foresights for better supply chain planning & execution. For example, score railcar utilization (cycle times) by geography, season, customer, and vendor and forecast this key performance indicator (KPI).
