With installations in 25 countries, TransCore is the leader in automatic equipment identification (AEI) for the rail industry, and we have set the standards by which all AEI is measured. Throughout the world and spanning five continents, TransCore has installed more than 8.4 million tags and 28,500 readers throughout the rail and intermodal industry.

Our transportation tag and reader system provides an easy and inexpensive way to improve productivity and reduce costs. Transportation tags are mounted on railcars, locomotives, trailers, chassis, containers, and truck cabs with readers installed at strategic points, such as railroad interchange points and yards, gates, fuel tracks lanes, and maintenance facilities. As tagged equipment passes a reader, the tag identifies the equipment and the reader relays the time, date, or other programmed information to a host computer.

After a multimillion dollar investment in research and development, TransCore recently introduced its next generation rail product. The new multiprotocol reader and train recording unit (TRU) are designed to support the rail market’s transition to updated automatic equipment identification (AEI) technology.
