RailBlazer – Revolutionising Rail Freight Operations with IoT Excellence

In response to the burgeoning demand for rail freight transport, Trilogical has developed RailBlazer, an IoT solution revolutionising rail freight operation. RailBlazer transforms each railcar into a smart, digital asset, equipping fleet owners, railway operators, and shippers with instant insights into railcars’ location, condition, and health. RailBlazer’s unique hybrid communication system enables precise tracking, including positioning within the trainset and in shunting yards.

It allows scheduling maintenance based on smart sensor analysis, reducing disruptions and extending service intervals. With realtime alerts on railcar health abnormalities and End-of-Train events, it prioritises safety, safeguarding personnel and cargo. 

Integrated with Trilogical’s cloud-based platform, RailBlazer offers features such as order management, railcar allocation, history- and mileage-based service alerts, boosting operational and maintenance efficiency. Its data analysis provides transparency in the supply chain, offering live loading status and ETA updates, thus facilitating shipper satisfaction.

As an easily mounted and maintenance-free solution with a battery life of over 6 years, RailBlazer heralds a new era in railcar telematics, ensuring unmatched maintenance and operational excellence.

Control FREAK – The Future of Railway Digitalisation

Trilogical’s Control FREAK is a remote diagnostic system for locomotives and multiple units that enables precise monitoring and smart analytical reporting. This system shifts maintenance approaches to proactive strategies, thereby reducing costs and enhancing the availability, reliability, and safety of rolling stock. Deployed on vehicles by the world’s leading OEMs, Control FREAK ensures a higher annual mileage for fleets and enables a longer lifecycle for legacy vehicles.

Control FREAK represents a unique solution that empowers managers at all levels to monitor and boost efficiency while reducing expenses. The system consists of a smart onboard controller (hardware) and a dynamic application (software), both built on a modular platform that can be easily customised to meet customer needs. A Business Intelligence module and a Driver Advisory application facilitate data integration, providing a comprehensive solution for optimised mobile asset management.

Featuring an open architecture and integrated plugins, Control FREAK allows for the swift development of additional modules as needed. It boosts operational and maintenance efficiencies, improves safety, manages service levels, and increases profitability.

Control TRACK – Collision Avoidance System

Trilogical’s Control TRACK is a system specifically developed to prevent collisions between trains and infrastructure maintenance teams. This intelligent solution provides realtime alerts for track workers about an approaching train, as well as realtime warnings for the train driver about track workers and other obstacles on the train’s route. It includes the capability for Operations Control Centres to monitor track worker teams and to issue realtime alerts about obstacles along the train route. An optional dynamic Navigation module equips drivers with essential route information, speed restrictions, and updates on neutral sections.

Control TRACK provides realtime collision avoidance alerts and is a vital tool in safeguarding track workers and infrastructure.

FreightShield – Containerized Cargo Theft Prevention

The FreightShield system offers an optimal solution for securing cargo and tracking container shipments. It features smart IoT container locks that are remotely controlled and can only be opened by authorised personnel. These locks are robust, designed to withstand rough transportation conditions, and are equipped with a long-lasting battery. They also boast multilayered connectivity options (Cellular, Bluetooth, and RF), along with additional sensors that detect movement and tampering.

The FreightShield solution includes web and mobile applications that offer a secure yet user-friendly method to monitor, manage, and debrief any container movement and status. This functionality empowers operations teams to unlock containers remotely, while shippers and freight operators can track the location of containers in real time. The result is complete visibility over shipments, which ensures customer satisfaction and streamlines the shipping process.
