Overview
I-LINE2 is a browser based, train weight management software package, designed to provide an information interface for Weighline and Streamline train weighing solutions.
Key features and benefits
Opens as a window within the internet browser e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari therefore providing a modern flexible user interface
Operates in real time, refreshing data periodically therefore presenting train weight data as it is processed.
Provides weight data graphically or numerically for ease of use.
Architecture, compatibility and configurations
Architecture
A data collection and web service are installed to run on a “web server”, typically a Windows server or Windows 7 platform.
The client (or user interface) will run on any server or desktop PC. Multiple clients are permissable.
The SQL database can be located on any mapped drive, located locally or on a central server.

Configurations
For gross, tare or gross/tare/net operations:– Gross: weights of full trains uni or bi-directionally.
– Tare: weights of empty trains uni or bi-directionally.
– Gross/tare/net: weights of full and empty trains and resulting net weight produced.
Configurations
“Matching” train weighing operations:– Complete Matched Trains: Train rakes may be matched
identically wagon for wagon as tare for gross (or vice versa).
Gross rake format = Tare rake format
= Net rake format
Configurations
“Matching” train weighing operations:– Matching across trains: Trains may be matched by
multiple tare rakes, by wagon, to multiple gross rakes or multiple gross rakes, by wagon, to multiple tare rakes, to create the net train rake.
Gross rake format Tare rake formats
= Net rake format
Configurations
“Matching” train weighing operations:– Can be configured to be automatic or manual.
– Can incorporate RFID tags for full Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI).
– Can be un-matched in case of error or operational changes.
Functionality
Dashboard
Dashboard – Chart format
Dashboard
Dashboard – Numerical format
Dashboard
Icons representing connected weighing systems– With communications status
Live communications screen– With optional remote control functions
Presentation of weight data– With report filtering for data range
Dashboard
Optional IP camera interface– Provides option for live viewing of
trains whilst being weighed.– Configurable per weighing system
Reviewing trains
Trains weighed are listed by:– Identifier (date / time / serial number)– Instrument name– Start weight date and time– End weight date and time– Total weight of train
Reviewing trains
Train status is identified by:– Weighed successful / unsuccessful– Train matched to another e.g. ingoing to outgoing– Train processed for reporting purposes
– Traffic light system for simple recognition
Reviewing trains
Train details can be selected:– Individual wagon weights– Individual bogie weights– Individual axle weights– Individual wheel weights
– Problem wagons, bogies, axles and wheels can be highlighted
Reviewing trains
Train details can be displayed, printed and saved to file:
Processing trains
Trains can be processed with the following additional information:– Train number– Wagon number– Up to an additional 5 pieces of user defined information.
E.g.•Product•Shipping destination•Place of origin
Processing trains
Train processing also includes “Matching” of trains e.g.– “In” train to “out” train– Combinations of “in” trains to 1 out train– Gross train to tare train (& vice versa)– Combinations of gross trains to 1 tare train (& vice versa)
Reporting
Reports available:– Train reports– Net train reports
– Reports available to screen, printer or to .pdf file
Help system
Help tab provides a guide for:
– Quick help– User manual
included for preview, save or print
– Settings– Additional
support
Help system
Context sensitive quick help– Available wherever icon is shown– Activated by mouse positioning
Other functions
Events
The following events can be setup to automatically perform actions:– Train started weighing– Train finished weighing– Wagon finished weighing– Train matched
Actions to be performed upon an above event:– Create file– Create report– Print report– Send e-mail or SMS
Limits
Global limits can be set for:– Maximum speed– Minimum tare weight– Maximum tare weight– Wagon overload– Bogie overload
Limits exceeded are indicated in train/net reports
– Axle overload– Wheel overload– Side to side
imbalance %– End to end
imbalance %
Limits
Alternatively, wagon limits can be set for:– Maximum speed– Minimum tare weight– Maximum tare weight– Wagon overload– Bogie overload
Limits exceeded are indicated in train/net reports
– Axle overload– Wheel overload– Side to side
imbalance %– End to end
imbalance %
