A rugged wireless monitoring system purpose-built for rail terminals.
A heavy-duty stainless steel probe, typically 8 to 10 feet long, installs into the tank car's process connection or manway. Up to 3 sensors staggered along the stem send live temperatures straight to the cloud.
See what is heating, what is ready to unload and what still needs time, for food grade products, industrial chemicals and asphalt.
Safer crews, protected loads, faster unloads.
Stay off the top of the car
Climbing tank cars to check temperature is dangerous. With RailcarWatch, operators climb once to install the probe and once to remove it. That removes roughly 100 climbs per car, per year. Preventing one serious fall pays for the system many times over.
Stop human error in its tracks
A continuous temperature log from loading to delivery proves a shipment stayed in spec. Avoid disputes and rejected loads, and share live data with customers to strengthen relationships and reduce liability.
Avoid costly product loss
Corn syrup, fats and chemicals can be destroyed if they get too hot. Set thresholds and get text or email alerts before limits are reached, with time to reduce or shut off steam. Fewer rejected loads, lower replacement costs.
Cut the wait, cut the waste
Prioritize cooling loads, arrange reheats and schedule unloads with precision. Fewer railcar visits, fewer delays, lower demurrage and less unnecessary heating. The savings quickly cover the system's cost.
Every car in the yard, on any phone, tablet or computer.
