Telematics
Optimize Freight Rail Operations With Real-Time Railcar Intelligence
Amsted Digital Solutions® is redefining how railcar fleets optimize maintenance and streamline operations. Our next-generation IQ Series™ gateway delivers data-driven visibility to help you make smarter maintenance decisions, reduce unplanned downtime and create added value for your customers.
A Complete Onboard Solution in One Simple Package
The IQ Series gateway is a first-of-its-kind onboard telematics solution that delivers advanced monitoring functionality without the need for external sensors—resulting in the lowest telematics adoption cost in the industry. Mounted on one or both of a railcar’s bogies, the gateway provides real-time status and health monitoring in a single, self-contained device.
Key Capabilities Include:
- Frequent monitoring for braking anomalies
- Real-time tracking of wheel condition
- Geofence entry and exit alerts
- Accurate Load Status in Motion (LSiM)
Note: The IQ Series gateway may also be mounted to the railcar body when bogie installation isn’t feasible; however, condition-monitoring features such as wheel and brake insights are not supported in this configuration.
