TransCore Unveils Next Generation RFID Rail Products
NEW Train Recording Unit (TRU). (PDF 344 KB)
Wireless Solutions for tracking, management and operational effectiveness
RFID technology applied to transportation applications involves tracking assets (cars, railcars, trucks, trailers, shipping containers, etc.) at a high rate of speed (often exceeding 100 MPH) and at long distances. The value of the underlying assets being tracked in transportation applications is generally higher than the value of items being tracked in supply chain applications.
Rail Products targeted for rail car tracking and rail services
TransCore’s RFID rail tags (available in 902-928 and 2450 MHz bands) are designed for years of continued, reliable use in the harshest operating environments. RFID tags affixed to rail cars are subjected to every imaginable harsh environmental exposure (heat, cold, snow, ice, dirt, rain, oil, and, in certain cases, temperatures over 350° (F) yet they are required to be installed once and operate indefinitely with 99%+ reliability.
New tag technology now being introduced features high-speed read/write capability, greatly enhanced data rate, memory capacity, and on-the-fly programming with security.
After a multimillion dollar investment in research and development, TransCore recently introduced its next generation rail products. The new multiprotocol reader and train recording unit (TRU) are designed to support the rail market’s transition to updated automatic equipment identification (AEI) technology.
TransCore provides two general classes of readers depending on application requirements – single protocol and multi-protocol – fixed mount or portable (e.g. Handheld). Performance and selection of an individual TransCore reader is wholly dependent on the application environment in which the reader is to be deployed. TransCore also manufactures and distributes a variety of antennas to support rail and intermodal applications. TransCore has an innovative mobile satellite GPS (GlobalWave®) system, which complements the RFID solution.
