Next-generation solar-powered marshaling solutions

Switchguard DPC – IntelliYard consists of different modules that can be combined or used as stand-alone units. The main module is a radio-controlled, decentralized point controller (DPC) which can be combined with a Trackguard Cargo SRC route control computer, if necessary. Clearguard WWS is a wireless wheel sensor and axle counter that runs on solar power. Completing the framework is a mobile web-based interface which offers access via a desktop PC, smartphone or tablet.

Innovative, modular – and key to improved operations

Switchguard DPC – IntelliYard uses innovative technology and a modular design to bring key benefits to your marshaling operations.

Reduced investment costs

Switchguard DPC – IntelliYard is characterized by a simplified installation. Solar-powered modules and wireless transmission remove the need to lay cables while the web-based interface is compatible with practically all existing IT infrastructures.

Optimized configuration and scalability

With its modular design based on individual components, Switchguard DPC – IntelliYard can be readily scaled or configured to match your specific applications.

Maximum efficiency

Marshaling performance and throughput can be increased due to the simplified interface and operations control. The modules and components of the Switchguard DPC – IntelliYard framework are also highly suitable for integration into complex operations management and dispatching systems such as the operations management computer.

Greater than the sum of its parts

Innovative modules capture the complete process from registration (recording) and marshaling (dispatching) all the way to tracking. Optimally configured to meet your requirements.

Switchguard DPC module (radio-controlled DEP)

Switchguard DPC is designed to control three-phase point machines with a standard four-wire circuit, e.g. Switchguard S700. Apart from a cable to the point machine and a connection to the power grid, Switchguard DPC needs no other wiring.

 

Web-based solution for operations management

The operator can set and control points as well as routes via a standard web interface on a PC, tablet or smartphone.

Clearguard WWS – cable-free axle counter system

Clearguard WWS ensures the reliable detection and fail-safe transmission of axle traversals. Both battery and solar-powered sensors are available. Signals are transmitted wirelessly.
