TREX-Wagon is a system from our TREX (Text Recognition & EXtraction) line of products which automatically captures identifying information on the freight wagons of trains.
TREX-Wagon consists of an image capture device which works in conjunction with powerful software. The system represents the latest innovations and technology in image capture and processing.
For each convoy passage, TREX-Wagon automatically registers the time, the direction of movement, the UIC number of each wagon as well as identifying container code number marked on each container (when used with TREX-Container).
The information is saved in a database and can be seen in real-time from a remote system.
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 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.).
