Wagon Number Recognition

TREX-WAGON

Automatic imaging system
for identifying freight railcar number and container code.

TREX-WAGON (Text Recognition & Extraction for Wagon) is an automatic system for recognizing railcar numbers and container codes.

It is a complete imaging solution composed of cameras, lights, sensors and computer. For each train passing over the acquisition point, the system automatically provides:

Wagon number (UIC norm and others).
Container codes.
High-resolution Images of the train.

All collected information is stored in an SQL database and can be exported to an external information system. The data can be accessed remotely, and the integrated search functionality makes it easy for operators to retrieve information for any given train.

TREX-WAGON combines the latest advances in image acquisition and OCR technologies, offering a reliable and efficient solution for rail freight management and safety.

Identify each wagon’s registration number,

Recognize the code of every transported container,

And ensure complete traffic traceability.

You work in railway freight

The TREX-WAGON solution was created for:

Automatic railcar number recognition (UIC standard and more).
Automatic container code recognition (ISO-6346).
Capturing and storing high-resolution images of trains.
Storing all collected data from each train in an SQL database.
Operating without requiring any modification or additional hardware on trains or wagons.
Being fully automatic and effective 24/7.
Adapting to various factors such as train speed, distance, lighting conditions, etc.
Interfacing with external systems (traffic control management, X-ray inspection systems, weighing stations, etc.).

Benefits

Accelerates control and traffic of trains
with the automatic railcars and loaded containers numbers recognition.

Reduces cost of database management
due to the automatic capture of identifying information.

Lowers risk of human error
associated with manual database entry.

Cuts claim
due to storage of image.

Simplifies management control at railway terminals, moreover can be integrate with existing traffic control tools and systems

Increases safety and security
with possible interfacing with other inspection systems (X-ray inspection, detecting defects in wheels …).

data

All train related information is stored in an SQL database, including (non exhaustive) :
- Date, time, location and direction of passage.
- Wagons numbers with associated images.
- Containers code with associated images.
- Images of the train.
Retrieve collected data from database using search criteria like wagon number, container code, date, time, location…
Automatic deletion of stored data after N days.
Export in real time each extracted information to external management systems via:
- An XML file.
- An IP packet.
