Written by Marybeth Luczak, Executive Editor
Rio Grande Pacific Technology (RIoTECH) has teamed with Seattle, Wash.-based Cedar AI to improve service and railcar visibility for operators and shippers at industrial switching locations.
RIoTECH, a division of Rio Grande Pacific Corp., and Cedar AI will deliver a transportation management system for industrial switching, the companies reported on Nov. 12. It will leverage Cedar AI’s ARMS (Automated Rail Management System) technology. Functionality will include a geographical projection of traffic at a shipper’s facility, allowing the visualization of railcars and associated performance metrics in real time, according to the companies.
A full rollout is expected in early 2022.
“In our continued efforts to provide industry-leading analytics using our RioT (Railway internet of Things) platform, we’re thrilled to partner with Cedar AI to further cement our solution’s capability,” RIoTECH Chief Information Officer Jason Brown said.
