Automatic railcar number recognition system
Streamline rail logistics with seamless wagon identification, enhancing operational efficiency and data accuracy through cutting-edge image processing technology.
The MULTIRAIL IDentify system from Schenck Process is a fully automatic railcar number recognition solution, designed to streamline rail logistics operations. It leverages cutting-edge image processing and integration with existing rail logistics systems to accurately capture wagon identification data in real-time. This system is tailored for industrial manufacturers and rail logistics companies, playing a crucial role in data-driven rail yard management and transport optimization. Capable of processing railcars moving at speeds between 2 and 15 km/h, the system ensures precise performance under various environmental conditions, with a temperature range of –15 to +40 degrees Celsius.
MULTIRAIL IDentify excels in applications such as freight railcar tracking and logistics optimization, facilitating the generation of automated wagon logs and cargo manifests. The system accommodates a variety of operational setups, offering options to scan both sides of the wagon and recognizing UIC and Russian wagon numbers effortlessly. Integrated seamlessly with the MULTIRAIL weighscale, it assigns weights and analysis data to individual wagons, enhancing the granularity of logistical insights.
The robust design includes weather-protected cameras with heated casings, LED spotlights for night use, and configurable modules housed within outdoor control cabinets or separate wall-mounted setups. The equipment ensures minimal maintenance disruptions and can be tailored to meet specific operational requirements, supported by Schenck Process’s comprehensive engineering expertise.
