Pulsar

Wagon identification and condition monitoring Problem description

Harbors, terminals, and chemical parks often lack precise train data upon arrival, relying on inaccurate wagon lists. This leads to issues with wagon sequence, load position, and liability for damages.

Our solution uses various sensors, such as cameras and microphones, to cap-ture and analyze train data and provide accurate information within minutes.

This helps optimize operations, prevent disruptions, reduce liability risks, and enhance safety and productivity.

Our Solution

Pulsar is an AI-driven monitoring system combining cameras, microphones, and sensors in a compact, weatherproof unit. Installed within one to two days without track intervention, it captures train data as trains pass and makes it available via dashboard or interface within minutes. Pulsar is offered in standard, Micro, and mobile versions, providing flexible options for permanent monitoring or testing.

How it works

Exact wagon sequence of the train, simplifying inbound handling processes by comparing it with the wagon list

Recognition of the UIC wagon number, helping to identify and assign the respective wagon

Recognition of BIC codes of containers or ILU codes of semitrailers, helping to speed up loading and unloading processes

High resolution images of wagons allowing to check for external damages and - depending on wagon type - for loaded cargo

Brake block thickness in millimeter complemented with images of the brakes helping to identify which brakes need to be replaced

Information on suspected wheelset damage in relation to the bogie, supported by an audio file to listen to

Additional Features

Grafitti area on the wagon in square metres
Hazard number & UN number for hazardous goods information
Upgradable to record wagon top images (camera mast)
Upgradable to record thermal anomalies of the wheel
