Overview I-LINE2 is a browser based, train weight management software package, designed to provide an information interface for Weighline and Streamline train weighing solutions.
Key features and benefits Opens as a window within the internet browser e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari therefore providing a modern flexible user interface Operates in real time, refreshing data periodically therefore presenting train weight data as it is processed. Provides weight data graphically or numerically for ease of use.
Architecture, compatibility and configurations
Data Collection and Storage Service Architecture A data collection and web service are installed to run on a “web server”, typically a Windows server or Windows 7 platform. The client (or user interface) will run on any server or desktop PC. Multiple clients are permissable. The SQL database can be located on any mapped drive, located locally or on a central server. Client (User Interface) Web Service SQL Data-base Data Collection and Storage Service
Compatibility Compatible with TSR4000 Weighline and Streamline systems. Compatible with E1310 Weighline and Streamline systems.
Configurations Single system or multiple system support Single system
Configurations Single site or multiple site support Single site
Configurations Single client or multiple client support Single client
Configurations For gross, tare or gross/tare/net operations: Gross: weights of full trains uni or bi-directionally. Tare: weights of empty trains uni or bi-directionally. Gross/tare/net: weights of full and empty trains and resulting net weight produced.
Configurations “Matching” train weighing operations: Complete Matched Trains: Train rakes may be matched identically wagon for wagon as tare for gross (or vice versa). Gross rake format = Tare rake format = Net rake format
Configurations “Matching” train weighing operations: Matching across trains: Trains may be matched by multiple tare rakes, by wagon, to multiple gross rakes or multiple gross rakes, by wagon, to multiple tare rakes, to create the net train rake. Gross rake format Tare rake formats = Net rake format
Configurations “Matching” train weighing operations: Can be configured to be automatic or manual. Can incorporate RFID tags for full Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI). Can be un-matched in case of error or operational changes.
Functionality
Dashboard Dashboard – Chart format
Dashboard Dashboard – Numerical format
Dashboard Icons representing connected weighing systems With communications status Live communications screen With optional remote control functions Presentation of weight data With report filtering for data range
Dashboard Optional IP camera interface Provides option for live viewing of trains whilst being weighed. Configurable per weighing system
Reviewing trains Trains weighed are listed by: Identifier (date / time / serial number) Instrument name Start weight date and time End weight date and time Total weight of train
Reviewing trains Train status is identified by: Weighed successful / unsuccessful Train matched to another e.g. ingoing to outgoing Train processed for reporting purposes Traffic light system for simple recognition
Reviewing trains Train details can be selected: Individual wagon weights Individual bogie weights Individual axle weights Individual wheel weights Problem wagons, bogies, axles and wheels can be highlighted
Reviewing trains Train details can be displayed, printed and saved to file:
Processing trains Trains can be processed with the following additional information: Train number Wagon number Up to an additional 5 pieces of user defined information. E.g. Product Shipping destination Place of origin
Processing trains Train processing also includes “Matching” of trains e.g. “In” train to “out” train Combinations of “in” trains to 1 out train Gross train to tare train (& vice versa) Combinations of gross trains to 1 tare train (& vice versa)
Reporting Reports available: Train reports Net train reports Reports available to screen, printer or to .pdf file
Help system Quick help User manual included for preview, save or print Help tab provides a guide for: Quick help User manual included for preview, save or print Settings Additional support
Help system Context sensitive quick help Available wherever icon is shown Activated by mouse positioning
