On May 6, and for the first time RailComm has shipped the first production units of its newly launched controller platform, the Expandable Automation Controller (EAC).
The EAC plays a key role in RailComm’s mission to become a leader in smart analytics, as it enables direct access, data collection, and support for all connected field devices within the rail yard. This new platform also comes with added benefits to customers that currently benefit from RailComm’s yard automation solutions.
“Today we are able to proactively monitor and remotely troubleshoot our customer’s installations to ensure proper performance of their communication networks, computer hardware, and control systems. With the EAC, we can also communicate to field devices at a ground level to monitor and perform remote diagnostics and troubleshooting. Something that our customers highly value given the cost of system downtime, the location of the assets within the yard, and the risk associated to having a person working in proximity to the tracks.”, Paola Realpozo, director of marketing.
“RailComm continues to innovate by investing in research and development and capitalizing on our hardware and software expertise to create new and compelling products. We are entering the new smart data space with solutions that will provide great and quantifiable benefits to our customers.”, Andy Kunzmann, chief technology officer.
