Getting Railroads on Track
Remote locomotive monitoring solutions for railroad operators
OMNICOMM provides complete fuel monitoring and fleet management solutions to give rail operators maximum control over their valuable assets, with real-time tracking to avoid dry panes and ensure safe speeds.
Take Back Control over High-Value Assets
Locomotives are expensive to buy and maintain, and railroad operators face numerous challenges that hit bottom line profits.
Ensuring efficiency and uninterrupted operations
Idling engines waste fuel during stops while no productive work is being done, and unexpected fuel shortages (dry panes) cause expensive interruptions.
Technical maintenance and monitoring
Engine parameters and conditions need accurate monitoring to ensure locomotives are treated correctly. For example, starting the engine with non-heated oil can cause serious damage.
Safety
Railroad accidents are disastrous to human life, cargo, assets and your reputation. Real-time speed and engine parameter monitoring improves safety.
