Wagon or fleet tracking with RFID offers visibility to fleet and cargo. The tracking of individual wagons even at the speed of 250 km/h can be tricky. Our wagon tracking RFID system tracks rail wagons, buses and trams and operates in the harshest conditions – even in the Finnish winter. Turck Vilant Systems has over 15 years of expertise from implementing UHF RFID. Our out-of-the-box solution offers a complete, proven and robust solution based on Gen2 RFID. We help achieve better productivity, improved rolling stock management as well as higher safety to our customers, who are infrastructure managers, public transport operators as well as wagon end users.

Trackside monitoring combines the individual Wagon identification with safety related sensoring information, so that infrastructure operators have tighter and more automated control of the rail operators fleet quality being operated on their tracks.

Using wagon-level RFID means that each wagon is identified individually and its condition and usage history information can easily be obtained from the central database.

Rail infrastructure managers often possess a network of trackside safety monitoring stations (for example for wheel impact, overweight or hot box detection). When combining RFID readers to these stations, the safety information is obtained on wagon level. The wagons identified on trackside readpoints migh be travelling at the speed of 250km/h. This, a specialised reader unit from Turck Vilant Systems handles easily.
Using wagon-level RFID means that each wagon is identified individually and its condition and usage history information can easily be obtained from the central database. The availability of wagon level data enables the automation of different MRO operations such as safety or maintenance options for instance.
The train composition for passenger and cargo transport can be time consuming and slow. Passenger and freight wagons as well as locomotives equipped with RFID can be identified fast and reliable thus creating a complete picture of wagon locations and their utilisation allowing the fleet usage to be optimised.
Wagons tagged with RFID can be individually identified. This information is further used by 3PLs as well as on the recipient side for the payload. Business events such as shipment and goods receipt can be automated to include wagon level data such as location and time & date for instance.
RFID enables the individual identification of wagons. At the weighing station the load information can be combined with the. Furthermore the wagon can then be forwarded towards the correct door for material deliveries.
Trams, rail wagons, busses and other vehicles need constant maintenance. RFID tags applied on all individual wagons enable easy lifecycle tracking of maintenance operations. These data can then be used to decide which kind of maintenance operations should be introduced on wagon level.
