We get your digitalized freight car fleet rolling

Smart up your freight wagons!

Digital solutions for rail freight transport help you find answers to important and urgent questions. How? Through the Internet of Things (IoT), you can network your entire freight car fleet and make it smart - and collect extensive data during operation.

The result: you are aware of the location and condition of your freight cars at all times, can make better decisions based on data, and can even automate complete processes.

Your challenge: missing data

Where is a particular freight car at the moment?

What is the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of a delivery?

How many kilometers has a particular freight wagon traveled so far?

Has a freight wagon been damaged during the journey or during loading?

When should a freight wagon be inspected or repaired?

Have delivery conditions like temperature been uninterruptedly maintained?

How much does your freight weigh?

Is the load balanced?

Advantages of weighing technology

Time and cost savings

By eliminating the need to travel to weighing stations, operational efficiency is significantly increased, saving time and money.

Optimised wagon and fleet utilisation

Data analysis provides an accurate picture of fleet utilisation and optimisation.

Accuracy

Accurate measurement means that wagons can be optimally loaded without exceeding permissible axle loads.

Predictive maintenance

Data analysis can be used to optimise loading and maintenance planning.

Reduced risk of derailment

Balanced load distribution reduces the risk of derailment.

Complete solutions from A1 Digital

For the implementation, railway companies and owners of freight wagons need a strong partner who can quickly deliver the appropriate IoT technologies and support the rollout.

A1 Digital offers proven and ready-to-use end-to-end solutions for rail freight. Thousands of freight cars are already connected via our trackers. We provide you with solutions for the entire IoT value chain.

Rail Tracker

Tracker

The trackers are the "brain" of your freight wagons and continuously collect data on the operating status.

  • Captures GPS location data and mileage

  • Detects shock and vibration through a 3D shock pressure sensor

  • Captures temperature and weight of the freight

  • Bluetooth interface for importing further sensor data, e.g., on cooling temperature or humidity

  • Own power supply, runtime up to 10 years

Io T Building Blocks Connectivity SIM Card

Connectivity

All trackers are connected via the mobile phone network and data is transmitted worldwide.

  • Excellent network coverage in over 140 countries

  • Affordable tariffs for every need

  • Manage all SIM cards in a single software platform

Rail Collect and monitor data

A1 Digital Rail Insight data platform

In an online dashboard, you monitor the status of all freight cars and evaluate reports.

  • Retrieve all available information on each freight wagon

  • Display all freight wagons on one map

  • Set alarms and rules

  • Transfer data to ERP and disposition systems

  • Easy operation: intuitive, easy-to-use interface for quick onboarding

Based on the data, you can make faster and better decisions.
