Railroad Application Services

EI SYSTEMS offers a complete railroad application system that provides automatic and real-time railcar tracking and Identification System utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI), and wireless technologies. The system automatically identifies each railcar from the time it enters the site and keeps track of its status and location continuously until it departs. It is designed to incorporate car content (including product, grade and lot numbers), scale data, inspection records, seal numbers and other car data. Each car move and each change in status is recorded and stored. Powerful reports provide easy access to complete car history as well as full yard history, including car daily car flows and daily inventory levels. Useful switch lists and helpful communication tools are incorporated.
