Robust Sensor Solutions with TIM
TIM is a multi-sensor monitoring device that enables access to digital information on all rail cargo assets. Built specifically to address the unique requirements in the rail sector, TIM can be placed on all rail cargo assets with exceptional durability, reliability and security while meeting all regulatory rail compliance and certifications requirements. The TIM sensor modules are designed to last a minimum of 10 years without servicing and are designed for rapid installation with no wiring or complicated installation, providing measurement and monitoring of:
Door state - open or closed
Hatch state - open or closed
Hand brake state - on or off
Impact detection
Tank car liquid level load state
Unparalleled Visibility Into Your Rail Tank Cars
TRIG’s solution for connected rail tank car automation centers around the XLoad non-contact radar sensor technology. Combined with unique communications and data components, XLoad delivers reliable real-time level measurement from inside the tank car. TRIG technology is hazardous locations compliant and helps to enhance conformance to standards such as API RP 3000, 40 CFR 112 and Responsible Care.
XLoad
XLoad is a durable radar sensor that permanently affixes to the fittings plate of each rail tank car. It delivers greater level measurement reliability, accuracy, efficiency, and operator safety at a lower cost compared to legacy level measurement solutions, and includes the following features:
Real-time level measurement for prevention of over-filling
Identification of non-accidental releases
Minimal operator interaction providing improved safety for operators
Transloading
TRIG Digital Technology for Transloading Automation
Closed loop loading is the standard for maximizing worker safety and minimizing environmental impacts. However, many solutions and processes are not able to achieve this. Using manual operator measurement approaches and tools often result in increased safety margins and reduced operational efficiency.
TRIG solutions for transloading automation enable terminal operators to maximize loading efficiency of closed rail tank cars, through a combination of digital sensor technology and control system integration.
