RFID Project now in Production
CRT
was responsible for the hardware selection, installation and set-up of a system
to track 1,100 rail cars for a major Agriculture company.
Using Transcore SmartPass readers, RFID Tags attached to the cars and
an integrated system board that converted ASCII tag reads into MS-SQL Server
transactions. The system has been in production for several months
and survived hurricane Wilma without a hitch. Running 24X7, this
application has saved thousands of man-hours and replaced a manual, dangerous
and error prone process. Included in the project delivery was a
custom ASP.Net web application that provides information on the whereabouts and
contents of the 1,1100 rail cars throughout the private rail
system. Future enhancements include hand-held readers and
integration with the Maintenance Management system for tracking Rail Car
planned maintenance and mainetnance history.
