Our patented Railcar Inspection Portal (RIP®) has been a cornerstone of safety and efficiency for Class 1 freight and passenger railroads for well over a decade.
Operating at track-speeds (up to 125mph), the RIP® acquires high-resolution images in a combined 360-degree view of each railcar. They are instantly available for review by system operators, including qualified railcar inspectors through our CENTRACO® UX. Just as quickly, an impressive collection of over 50 advanced artificial intelligence machine learning (AI/ML) models work to automatically detect critical anomalies and mechanical defects and help to call attention to problem areas – ultimately helping prevent catastrophic situations.
CENTRACO®, the RIP’s intuitive user experience, provides an easy and thorough way to review every railcar in the consist, quickly and efficiently highlighting what’s important. Advanced inspection capabilities within the interface enable users of the system to assess close-up views of the railcar’s parts and offer perspectives that can only otherwise be achieved by crawling under the railcar which can lead to dangerous situations for the inspector doing the work.
The RIP® has revolutionised how railroads maintain safety standards while improving operational efficiency by providing advanced remote visualization capabilities combined with automated analysis using state-of-theart artificial intelligence.
Now, we’re excited to announce the launch of the RIP® Subscription Service. Initially available in the US, it is a groundbreaking offering that extends the value of this powerful technology beyond the tracks themselves.
