How ™ Works

™ uses remote monitoring and diagnostics to give railroads live data concerning the status of their locomotives.

1. Via Remote Monitoring, a locomotive automatically initiates a remote alert given an abnormal condition, and sends the locomotive number, its condition and the fault(s) which triggered the condition.
2. The Central Server receives and stores the information.
3. The Central Server automatically sends an Alert Notification to a predefined list of people in a predefined order, regardless of location or the Locomotive Management Center and, if applicable. Once the alert is accepted, the person may view a brief summary of the locomotive condition included in the notification. Notifications can be sent by pager, mobile telephone, e-mail or an online screen alert.
4. Locomotive Management Center personnel performs Remote Diagnosis of the locomotive by going online and accessing additional locomotive information (ex. five active faults & fault archive) and using EMD TechPro™ . A work order notification is then sent to the appropriate party.
5. Maintenance personnel initiates Proactive Repair by determining best repair options (i.e. service track, shop, etc.) & plans resources accordingly.
