Web-Based, Real-Time Rail Cargo Tracking Solution
AVANTE Rail Freight Management System provides a full spectrum of services for cargo stakeholders:
- Wagon booking and payment management
- Train formation, wagon shunting and train scheduling
- Crew assignment and management
- Real-time fuel level and consumption incorporating digital fuel sensors
- Real-time train-wagon-cargo status and location tracking
- Positive train control with “moving block” speed limit control using GPS, cellular and satellite communication technologies
- Optional visibility assistance to train engineers with unique system coupling of IR-Imaging-Radar technologies
- Optional real-time track condition monitoring
The AVANTE RFID-Sensor tag placed on or near cargo inside the wagon provides real-time cold chain temperature/humidity data rather than the wagon temperature. This same technology also includes real-time reporting of any intrusion into the wagon during transit.
- A user-friendly web solution provides all stakeholders real-time, role-based access to their respective rail cargo operations.
- Real-time web-based and mobile device access to check the condition of the goods including intrusion, tampering, temperature, moisture and other sensor-based status from anywhere.
- Exceptions and/or intrusions are detected by AVANTE patented multi-mode sensors, RFID devices inside and/or input/output valves of the tanker content. Exceptions or intrusions are reported in real-time to shippers, buyers, authorities including customs, insurance providers and 3PL providers via SMS, email and other communications channels as required.
AVANTE developed a cost-effective “Track Integrity Monitoring Device” to provide GPS locations of tracks that need repairs.
