NitroYard
Yards face numerous challenges on a daily basis, such as the non-accurate ETA of trains. Yards are also tasked with ensuring the delivery of the right train at the right time, which is essential to maintain the flow of operations for both the crew and the main line. This on-time and accurate delivery is key to achieving Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and the best rail results.
OVERVIEW
- Perceives what happens on the mainline and on its own tracks and surroundings
- Communicates with customers and crew to align its goals
- Reasons and creates plans to receive and build trains
- Executes the plan
BENEFITS
- Summoning crew in the right time
- The right car in the right train at the right time
- Better absorption of mainline variability
- Balance of time x volume variability
- ETD estimates and integration with Movement Planner
- Optimized locomotive power cycle
- Fewer movements
- Fewer errors
- Visibility
- Just-in-time
- Aggressive SLA
AUTOMATION IS A JOURNEY
NitroYard, as the brain of the intelligent yard, and together with other technologies such as other Nitro Suite solutions, Talos, PowerView and Uptime allow rail customers to take a building block approach to autonomy, adding on solution, one process, or one technology at a time and at a rate that makes sense for your operation.
