Improving the safety, performance and management of railway systems.

Railway systems are comprised of highly complex networks of physical infrastructure; management, safety and control systems; rolling stock; fixed assets and multiple independent stakeholders and contractors. Large workforces and networks can stretch across countries and continents. Maintaining visibility and control is critical to delivering an efficient and safe service for passengers and freight transport.

Rail operators and managers are responsible for the smooth and efficient movement of goods and passengers and must offer reliable, efficient and good-value services. They face increasing usage demand as governments encourage, and consumers opt, for ‘greener’ alternatives for travel while increased focus is placed on moving goods transport off of roads and back onto rail. Wavetrend’s tracking and management systems for railway assets, vehicles or personnel provide many advantages to railway system owners/operators and service and maintenance contractors:

  • Rolling stock identification, tracking and management in depots and marshalling yards, or out across the network.
  • Improved railway system safety and management, augmenting existing safety systems through introducing real-time rolling stock identification and location visibility.
  • Facility and worker protection, safety and security solutions, such as improved site access control systems, time in attendance systems, personnel tracking systems and worker proximity warning systems.
  • Fixed and mobile asset tracking and management systems within sites, across large depots or yards or out across the rail network.
  • Audit trails for inventory movements and events for regulatory compliance.


Wavetrend’s broad breadth of active RFID and global tracking solutions provide rail system operators and managers the total visibility required to ensure the security and safety for assets, staff and users, while enhancing safety control systems and maintaining total visibility of diverse assets across the network.
