01 / IDENTIFY
Know which rail asset is present
Use TransCore® MPRX RFID for automatic identification of locomotives, railcars and other compatible tagged assets.

Better visibility of rolling stock.
Identify assets. See the vehicle.
Rolling stock operations can require two different answers: which asset is this, and what is happening around the vehicle? Sentinel combines automatic RFID identification with configurable 360° vehicle visibility to address those needs as separate or complementary technology layers.
// The rolling stock problem
Asset identity and vehicle awareness are different problems.
RFID can answer the identity question. Multi-camera visibility can answer the immediate visual-awareness question. Keeping those functions clear helps engineering teams specify the right technology for the actual operating need.

Improve vehicle perimeter awareness
Configure 360° camera coverage for locomotives and other vehicle applications where changing sight lines matter.

Build the workflow around the event
Identification and visibility outputs can be considered as inputs to broader operational, maintenance or asset-management workflows.
Explore the solution →// Where it can fit
Yards, depots, maintenance and terminal environments.
Start with the operational question: do you need to identify the asset, improve visibility around it, or both? Sentinel can help define the appropriate product pathway.
- Automatic rail asset identification
- Locomotive and rolling stock visibility
- Maintenance and depot workflows
- Yard and terminal movements

// Frequently asked questions
Questions buyers and technical teams often ask.
Can RFID and 360° vision be used together?
Yes. They address different operational needs and can be considered together where an application requires both automatic asset identification and improved vehicle perimeter visibility.
Does Sentinel provide a single fixed rolling stock configuration?
No. Both technology pathways are selected and configured around the asset, environment and required outcome.
Are these systems intended to replace railway safety systems?
No. They are technology solutions that can support operational awareness and identification. They do not replace required railway operating procedures, signalling, protection or safety systems.
