Kansas City Southern Railway Co.’s (KCSR) intermodal facility in Rosenberg, Texas, now features a VINtelligent™ system designed to help automotive customers track finished vehicles arriving by train and departing by truck to Houston-area auto dealers, according to an item posted on the “KCS News” web page.

KCSR is using a cellular and wireless version of VINtelligent to provide customers vehicle inventory data in real time and improve the facility’s operational efficiency. Kansas City Southern also plans to install the Web-based system at CenterPoint Intermodal Center-Kansas City and Kansas City Southern de México S.A. de C.V. intermodal terminals in Salinas Victoria/Monterrey and Puerta Mexico/Toluca.

“This system, along with other investments we’ve made and are making at the Rosenberg, Salinas Victoria and Puerta Mexico intermodal facilities, will contribute to a world-class, seamless, cross-border intermodal network,” said Vice President of Intermodal and Automotive Operations Morris Godwin in the news item.
