From Paper Trail to Live Map — railway freight operations track wagons and rakes largely through manual logs and periodic yard checks, leaving blind spots between checkpoints — a wagon's exact location, dwell time, or condition between origin and destination is often unknown until it's flagged as delayed or missing.
RailTrack™ mounts LoRaWAN sensors with GNSS positioning on wagons to report location, movement, and status continuously — not just at checkpoints — feeding a live map of the entire freight network to yard and operations teams. Delays, misroutes, and dwell-time problems surface in real time instead of after the fact.
Key Capabilities
Real-Time GPS Tracking
GNSS and LoRaWAN continuous tracking on wagons between checkpoints, not just at them.
Yard Visibility
Visibility into how long wagons sit idle at each yard, automated rake formation mapping, and inventory status.
Operational Efficiency
Turnaround optimization, dwell-time analytics, and route delay elimination across major freight corridors.
Secure Supply Chain
Continuous tamper and seal alerts flagging unauthorized access to wagons and cargo in transit.
How it works?
Wagon Sensors
LoRaWAN sensors with GNSS positioning mounted on each wagon body.
Edge Gateways
Aggregate data locally in yards and sync once connectivity is available.
RailTrack™ Platform
Live map of the freight network with dwell-time and status analytics.
Yard & Ops Teams
Real-time alerts on delays, misroutes, and tamper events.
Architecture blueprint — continuous GNSS telemetry syncs through rugged edge yard gateways to central freight operations.

Real world impact
Wagon Visibility (Pilot Yard)
On-Time Corridor Performance
RailTrack replaced our handwritten yard registers with a live, unblinking map. We achieved 98% wagon visibility across our pilot yard within the first 60 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does RailTrack™ track?
Wagon location, movement, dwell time, and seal/tamper status continuously — not just at checkpoints.
Does it work in remote yards with poor connectivity?
Yes — edge gateways aggregate data locally and sync once connectivity is available.
How does this integrate with existing freight operations?
RailTrack integrates with FOIS, TMS, and enterprise ERPs via open REST APIs and secure MQTT messaging.
What sensors does this use?
LoRaWAN asset sensors with GNSS positioning, mounted securely on wagon bodies with 5+ year battery life.
