Transform Railcar Assets

Today, there is no real-time visibility into the status and health of over 90% of the estimated 5.2 million railcars worldwide. Equipping these freight cars with telematics, GPS, and sensor technologies enables customers to capture the hidden data and turn it into actionable information that is transformative to the customer experience and supply chain efficiency.

Railcar Telematics enables customers to capture the hidden information inside a railcar and drive outcomes that matter. Rail shippers and operators can turn cargo into smart connected assets that communicate their location, health, and status. The result: freight visibility, increased safety of rail assets, and new levels of operational efficiency.

How it Works

The Portfolio

Transform railcars into smart connected assets.

Start small with just a single gateway sensor on a railcar or completely equip your fleet with multiple sensors. Wabtec’s modular telematics building blocks allow you to add incremental functionality and scale across your operation.

Bridge: Location status, communication of sensor data, and data transfer
Heating Sensor: Temperature of an external heat source to warm the cargo
Load/Unload Sensor: Load status of the railcar
Rochester Level Sensor: Measures the level of the cargo based on a Rochester gauge
Temperature Sensor: Temperature of the tank contents
Heating & Cooling Terminal: Provides control of heating and cooling systems for the cargo
Hatch/Manlid/Valve Open/Close + Handbrake On/Off Sensor: Determines if hatch, manlid, or valve is open or closed as well as the status of the handbrake
Pressure Sensor: Pressure inside the tank
