TREX-WAGON is both an Automatic Wagon Number Recognition (AWNR) and an Automatic Container Code Recognition system (ACCR). that is able to recognize container code number too.
TREX-WAGON consists of an image capture device which works in conjunction with powerful OCR software. The system represents the latest innovations and technology in image capture and processing.
For each train that enters or exits the terminal, TREX-WAGON automatically registers the time, the direction, the UIC number of each wagon as well as container code number.
The information is saved in a database and can be sent in real-time to an external application.
With the included search functionality, it is also simple for the operator to search and extract data pertaining to each train.
TREX-WAGON is the essential tool for maintaining the management and safety of railway freight.

TREX-WAGON
is an Automatic
Wagon Number Recognition system for
railway terminal and terminal operator.
|
|
|
TREX-WAGON was created for:
- Capturing and extracting identifying information from each passing train wagon as well as identifying information on containers aboard trains (option).
- Archiving all identifying information from each train in a database.
- Does not require any alteration or additional hardware installation on trains or wagons.
- Is automatic and effective 24/7, given the proper ambient constraints including severe weather.
- Adapts itself to several variables such as train speed, distance, etc.
- Can interface with other inspection systems (inspection by X-ray, etc.).

Benefits of TREX-WAGON
- Reduced cost of database management due to the automatic capture of identifying information.
- Reduced claim due to storage of image.
- Reduced risk of human error associated with manual database entry.
- Simplified management control at railway terminals.
- Increased safety and security with possible interfacing with other inspection systems (X-ray inspection, detecting defects in wheels …).
- Ease of integration with existing traffic control tools and systems.
Main applications
