SAVVY® FOR RAIL FREIGHT TRANSPORT

Turning data into information – SAVVY® devices and software for rail logistics

The requirements for operation and maintenance of freight wagons are diverse and demanding. Monitoring transport progress in international traffic, complying with safety and maintenance regulations or maximizing wagon availability are just some of the major challenges.

SAVVY® supports you in your daily work with a comprehensive and modular management system, consisting of mobile telematics devices for data acquisition and a web-based software to optimize all your relevant processes.

SAVVY® devices are specially designed for demanding railroad operations and enable over 10 years of autonomous, maintenance-free operation. The devices can be easily mounted outside or inside the wagon.

#ATEX for dangerous goods transport – half of the WASCOSA intermodal fleet is equipped with SAVVY®

“Of all the systems tested at the time, the best performer was that of the fairly new, but very competent provider SAVVY Telematic Systems AG then, who Wascosa picked to fit the first batch of intermodal wagons with telematics devices.” – WASCOSA

SAVVY® SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR RAIL TRAFFIC

Award-winning telematics solutions systems for rail:

Management, collaboration and business intelligence capabilities for enterprise-wide management of complex logistics requirements.

COMPONENTS AND BENEFITS OF SAVVY® SYSTEM SOLUTION FOR RAIL FREIGHT TRANSPORT

RECORDING OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Precisely recording operating performance meets both statutory obligations and enables optimal fleet utilization. Individual wagons can be optimally deployed and dispatched for maintenance based on usage at the right time.

Shock detection

Damage to rails, defective buffers or inappropriate handling of freight wagons lead to damage to rolling stock and transport goods. The three-axis shock detection records all events indicating time and position, making it possible to draw conclusions about probable causes.

REFRIGERATOR WAGON MANAGEMENT

SAVVY® FleetTrac monitors up to three temperature zones, loading bay door, diesel fill levels and generator battery voltage. This guarantees uninterrupted temperature data records, making damage due to inadequate refrigeration a thing of the past.

AUTOMATIC STOCK CONTROL

The automatic stock control provides a daily updated overview of your stock of various wagon types in the relevant locations and workshops. In addition to transparent reports, further useful data such as wagon stopping times, residual operational life, etc. can be provided.

EFFICIENT FLEET MANAGEMENT

Short maintenance times and optimized dispatching lead to higher wagon availability. SAVVY® enables you exact maintenance planning on the basis of the effective operating performance of the wagon’s current location. In addition you receive statistics on the actual time a wagon spends in maintenance or wagon turnaround. Drawing on this data allows you to optimize processes to have more wagons at your disposal.

TRACKING & TRACING

Information concerning shipment progress or the exact location in international single wagon load transport is often outdated or otherwise unreliable. SAVVY® CargoTrac provides you with all important information in real time. If a transport deviates from its target or remains at a location en route too long, the responsible dispatcher is notified immediately. The wagon overview allows you to efficiently re-dispatch after completion of a transport so that turnaround times can be significantly reduced.
