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
