Indoor and outdoor locomotive tracking at a steel plant, including the track each locomotive is on.
Every locomotive located, along with the track it's on.
From challenge to results.
01
The challenge
Locating locomotives across the steel plant
In steelmaking, locomotives move between the rail yard and the plant's indoor areas. Knowing where each one was, and on which track, was the missing piece for operational visibility across the in-plant rail network.
02
The solution
Indoor and outdoor tracking, down to the track
PHYGITALL deployed indoor and outdoor tracking for the locomotives, identifying the track each one is on. Each locomotive's position became available on the platform, inside and outside the plant buildings.
03
The result
The in-plant rail network, visible on the platform
The operation gained visibility into locomotive movements across the steel plant. Here, the same location technology that protects people is applied to large assets.
