Automating rail yard management has been a great challenge to many railcar shipment companies. There is an ever increasing need to ensure the right railcars are loaded from the right silo, or the correct lines/silos are used to offload product from the correct railcars. EI Systems has products that help you to accomplish these tasks. Our proven products transform raw data collected from AEI reader systems and portable AEI readers into intelligent information that integrates with your plant inventory tracking system.
We offer three main products for rail yard management applications:

Rail Viewer
Overview:
A web-based rail yard inventory system, Rail Viewer™ extends the use of Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI)
systems to aid in the management of railcars in rail facilities and yards. Rail Viewer™ continuously identifies,
in real time, the location of each railcar on a graphical map of the yard. With the optional Rail Logger™ system
and Rail Mobile™ system, Rail Viewer™ is designed to maximize the utilization and availability of rolling stock
by tracking locations, including arrivals and departures of railcars within rail yard.
Benefit:
Manage railcars on site. Know how many cars are on site, which track and spot each car is at.
Keep track of inbound and outbound cars on a real-time basis.
Maintain record of all historical car movements within the yard.
Flexible solutions for notification of car arrivals.
Ability to integrate AEI data into plant's systems to improve process (right product loaded to right railcar, right car offloaded to right silo).
Tracks time in plant for each railcar to help minimize demurrage costs.
Searchable database via user friendly interface to search history by date or by car.
Identify available tracks/spots to store cars.
Key Features:
Pictorial representation of cars, car types, locations, color coded for status in the yard.
User configurable tracks in the yard.
Ability to import raw data file from Rail Logger into yard inventory.
In conjunction with AEI reader and Rail Logger™, Rail Viewer™ accurately adds each car and time of arrival and departure to the database.
Document railcar movements by drag and drop functionality to avoid manual entry of the equipment numbers, thus eliminating transposition of equipment numbers.
Detailed tracking of all car movements and statuses within the yard. Maintain locations of rail equipment within the plant facility as well as surrounding rail yards to the track and sequence level.
Easy integration with ERP and plant system.
Compatible with both fixed and portable AEI readers.
Web-based system with either Oracle or SQL Server backend database.
Allow flagging railcars in need of service to prevent order assignment, load, or shipment until equipment is fixed and removed from repair list.
Can be customized for user specific needs: inspection, Wash, load status, etc.
Can be linked to SAP or other ERP Systems.
