TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR RAILYARD

with the YardMaster® Solution.

Bourque Logistics and Industrial Networks are proud to bring shippers the advanced technology used by Class I Railroads to automate and collect essential railcar data. The YardMaster® solution is a seamless, fully integrated rail automation solution for daily operations.

BOURQUE LOGISTICS

YardMaster® provides a mapping utility that allows a graphical display of railcar inventory by Yard/Track/Spot. Car type, Hot List, and Repair Request are visible on the screen. Advanced filtering allows display by Commodity Code, Customer, Fleet ID, Business Group, Car Status, and L/E Ind.

YardMaster® provides the ability to create custom inspection templates by car type and commodity. Inspections are automatically assigned to railcars and failed inspection line items can trigger actions that prevent loading/offloading of railcars until the issue is resolved.

YardMaster® addresses all aspects of loading and offloading railcars, whether it’s simply capturing a product and light/heavy weight from the scale or calculating a pre-load outage and post-load VCF.

Demurrage tariffs are stored in YardMaster® and all pertinent events are captured to ensure railroad and In in-plant demurrage costs are accurate.�

Once railcars are loaded, YardMaster® allows the creation and transmission of an EDI bill of lading. Your ERP system is automatically updated for shipment confirmation. Additionally, automatic email copies of bills of ladings can be sent to customers and partners.

Next generation railcar location tracking.

​The SMRTag™ System provides real-time, live IoT-based location and asset management, automating railcar inventory like never before. What was once a manual process is now fully automated, delivering unprecedented efficiency and accuracy.

Also, a key component of the SMRTag™ System is our SMRT Mesh network. This mesh network not only allows us to track railcars live in the railyard but also enables communication of other sensor data. Our ability to gather additional pertinent safety and security data from both railcars and the railyard, along with live, precise railcar location information, has allowed us to create what we are calling a Smart Railyard.
