Rail Yard Data Management
RYDM is a modular based data collections system and automated industrial controls system. Conceived through a Black Belt project, it has morphed from simply tracking fuel usage to monitoring all tank levels (Sand, lube oil, fuel oil, etc), email based fault notification, Locomotive tracking, pressure monitoring, operating the fueling system, and much more. The system, at its core, is run with Allen Bradley Micrologix and uses a single cellular point to communicate data back to our servers for instant access via website to all site generated data. RYDM is easily adapted to automate the controls and monitor all systems, or simply tell you the quantity of fuel dispensed in the last locomotive.
With over 30 years’ experience working in the railyard, we understand the need for quick service. All RYDM systems have secured remote access for cycling power on key devices, modifying PLC’s and any PC onsite. RYDM systems incorporate "Heartbeat", which is an integrated redundant monitoring system of the main monitoring and controls system. This is crucial for a system installed coast to coast.
RYDM doesn’t stop at the service center. We have installed fuel tracking systems on LST trucks to accurately monitor remote locomotive fueling. These trucks are equipped with a 12V RYDM system that runs on its own 12v battery. This system uses all standard RYDM equipment making servicing and part replacement universal. All data gathered is then synced and populated on our website.
