AIC Rail Showcases End-To-End Solution for Managing Your Wheel Shop

The AIC Rail Wheel Shop Management Suite incorporates components that add to the central database. All operations for a wheelset or assembly can be viewed as the information is collected.

The Shop Manager provides access to up-to-the-minute mounting charts and component information for quality assurance inspections, reporting and supervisors. The Shop Manager displays information collected at all of the WSMS stations and all information is searchable.

The Universal Press Recorder was developed to meet the needs of locomotive and passenger wheel shops. It is a computerized system for recording force and distance while mounting components on railroad axles. It can also record mounting charts for gears, bearings, discs and gear boxes.

The Bearing Tracking System provides a fast and efficient method for collecting information about each bearing mounted on the wheelsets. The information collected can also be useful for tracking materials, downtime and labor, as well as for consignment and billing.

The Outbound Tracking System is a mobile application that tracks the wheelset as it leaves the facility. It provides traceability, accountability and realiability when it comes to shipping finished goods. It is the final step in the data collection process, providing operator, customer and shipper information to know where each wheelset gets shipped. 

The server-based application reduces administration costs and has wireless networking capability for all stations and handhelds.
