Measure every mile. Track use case delivers the first digital layer for freight wagons, providing real-time asset location, accurate mileage monitoring, and geofencing capabilities through a frugal, non-invasive installation approach. Available with either the BeamorBridgegateway, it enables operators to gain immediate visibility of wagon movements, optimize fleet management, and support maintenance planning through reliable mileage data. By transforming wagon data into actionable insights, Track helps operators improve asset availability, increase operational efficiency, reduce idle times, and strengthen logistics control while supporting a scalable and cost-effective digitalization journey. **Bridge Gateway video** **Beam one-pager** **Bridge one-pager** **Customer benefits** **Track platform video** ### MONITOR YOUR CARGO ###### DIGITALIZATION ##### MONITOR YOUR CARGO **Customer benefits** ##### Gain visibility into your cargo conditions Monitor your cargocombines the Bridge gateway with connected pressure, temperature, tilt and radar sensors to provide near real-time visibility into cargo and railcar conditions throughout the journey. Depending on the selected sensor configuration, operators can remotely monitor tank pressure, cargo temperature, loading status and the position of critical railcar components, receiving event-based notifications when relevant conditions are detected. By transforming sensor data into actionable insights, Monitor Your Cargo helps operators protect cargo quality, strengthen operational control, improve asset utilization and respond more quickly to abnormal conditions. Its modular and scalable architecture enables each solution to be tailored to the application, providing a foundation for safer, more transparent and more efficient freight operations. **Pressure sensor one-pager** **Temperature sensor one-pager** **Monitor your Cargo platform video** **Bridge one-pager** **Tilt sensor one-pager** **Radar sensor one-pager** ### MONITOR YOUR ASSET ###### DIGITALIZATION ##### MONITOR YOUR ASSET **Customer benefits** ##### Predict issues before they happen Monitor your Assetcombines the Bridge gateway with Brake Monitoring and connected sensors to provide near real-time visibility into the health and condition of freight wagon assets. Continuous monitoring of brake system performance, together with cargo and railcar condition data, enables operators to detect abnormal events, identify developing issues and gain actionable insights throughout the asset lifecycle. By bringing brake system health to the center of fleet monitoring, Monitor Your Asset helps operators move from reactive to more proactive maintenance strategies. Combined with condition data from connected sensors, it improves asset availability, increases operational predictability, reduces unnecessary inspections and supports more informed maintenance and operational decisions. **Radar sensor one-pager** **Bridge one-pager** **Brake Monitoring video** **Tilt sensor one-pager** **Brake Monitoring one-pager** ### QUICK TRAIN PREPARATION ###### DIGITALIZATION ##### QUICK TRAIN PREPARATION **Customer benefits** ##### Get train ready faster Quick Train Preparationcombines the Bridge gateway, Brake Monitoring, connected Tilt Sensors and operator-facing tools to provide a digital view of train readiness before departure. Brake system condition data and the status of critical wagon components are made readily available to operators, reducing the need for manual information gathering and supporting faster, more reliable preparation activities. By replacing manual inspections and fragmented information sources with trusted digital readiness data, Quick Train Preparation helps significantly reduce preparation time while improving decision quality and operational consistency. Beyond immediate efficiency gains, it establishes the digital foundation required forAutomatic Train Composition(ATC),Automatic Brake Test(ABT) andTrain Integrity Supervision(TIS), enabling safer, more automated and more interconnected freight operations. **Quick Train Preparation video** **Bridge one-pager** **Tilt sensor one-pager** **Brake Monitoring one-pager** ### SAFE TRAIN OPERATION ###### DIGITALIZATION ##### SAFE TRAIN OPERATION **Customer benefits** ##### Turn data into safer operations Safe Train Operationcombinesthe Bridge gateway, Brake Monitoring, connected Tilt Sensors and operational interfaces to provide continuous visibility into train, wagon and brake system conditions during operation. Relevant status information is collected and made available in near real-time, helping operators maintain awareness of train conditions and respond more effectively to operational events. By replacing limited visibility and delayed information with continuous digital monitoring, Safe Train Operation helps improve operational awareness, detect abnormal conditions earlier and support faster, more informed decision-making. Brake system health, wagon status and event information are continuously accessible, enabling safer and more consistent train operations throughout the journey. **Safe Train Operation video** **Bridge one-pager** **Tilt sensor one-pager** **Brake Monitoring one-pager** ### AUTOMATE WITH DAC ###### DIGITALIZATION ##### AUTOMATE WITH DAC **Customer benefits** ##### Connect. Automate. Transform. Automate with DACcombinesDigital Automatic Coupling (DAC), the WagonCentral Control Unit(CCU) and digital train communication technologies to automate key freight train operations. By digitally connecting wagons, power and data networks across the train, the solution reduces manual intervention during train preparation and operation while enabling automated workflows and digital train functions. Automatic Train Composition (ATC), Automatic Brake Test (ABT), Train Integrity Supervision (TIS) and digital train communication are integrated within a single interoperable platform, helping operators improve efficiency, increase operational consistency and accelerate the transition towards the next generation of freight rail operations. By replacing manual train preparation and operational processes with connected digital workflows, Automate with DAC helps reduce preparation time, improve operational efficiency and support safer, more reliable train operations. The continuous exchange of data, power and control information throughout the train enables a higher degree of automation while creating the foundation for future digital freight services and automated train operations. **Bridge one-pager** **Tilt sensor one-pager** **Automate with DAC video** **CCU one-pager** **DAC one-pager** **Brake Monitoring one-pager** **MONITOR YOUR ASSET** **SAFE TRAIN OPERATION** **QUICK TRAIN PREPARATION** **TRACK** **MONITOR YOUR CARGO** **AUTOMATE WITH DAC**
