RAILCAP is a leading innovative company specializing in the automation and digitalization of freight railcars. It uses its expertise to improve the day-to-day lives of its users. By combining automation and digital technologies, we transform railcars into smart assets to speed up logistics flows.

Rail freight is an essential pillar of decarbonizing transport, in the same time offering a good solution to the pressures facing the road transport and the growing shortage of drivers.

However, industry players face major challenges that are holding back its adoption :

o    Arduous work and physical risks : Manually opening and closing a railcar components (tarpaulins, securing arms, etc.) remains a strenuous and dangerous task, leading not only to workplace accidents but also to damage or deformation of the railcar components.

o    A complete lack of logistical transparency : Unlike road transport, operators lack real-time visibility of the location and condition of their goods, any impacts sustained, or the general condition of the railcars.

o    The cost of renewing fleets : Purchasing new rolling stock is a lengthy and costly process. There is an immediate need to introduce modern technology to both new builds and existing fleets.

To address these challenges, RAILCAP has developed an integrated and modular technological architecture :

• Smart Automation & Energy : Eliminates users risks and equipment damage through motorized railcar components controlled remotely and powered by electrical low energy (24V).
• Data, Front & Back-Office : Solves the lack of logistics and railcar lifecycle visibility with a complete IoT suite and predictive maintenance.
• Adaptable System & Circular Commitment : Designed for both new builds and existing fleets to avoid costly rolling stock replacement.

Because every project is unique, we provide technical support from start to finish, from the initial review of the specifications right through to operational commissioning in the field.

RAILCAP – SMART AND AUTOMATION RAILCAR DESIGNER

As a key player in the decarbonization of rail freight, RAILCAP integrates sustainable development into every stage of its product life cycle. We actively promote the principles of the circular economy through a dedicated reconditioning policy for our modules, which extends the service life of components whilst reducing waste. Designed using recyclable steel parts, our solutions can be adapted to existing fleets to avoid the need to replace rolling stock, thereby promoting a more environmentally friendly and efficient logistics ecosystem.
