Navil Rail is proven and delivers ROI quickly
Kaleris intermodal rail solutions include key components for operational visibility and execution. From rail visibility, rail car, chassis, and container maintenance and repair, to essential requirements to configure railcars and rail tracks.
A Service Design defines the trains to be run each planning period, as well as the freight to be carried on each leg of those trains. The Service Design module supports both automated (optimized) and manual development of a Service Design.
Based on the Demands and rail network defined in a Navis Rail scenario, a user can run the Service Design optimization engine to produce the trains and wagons, including any train moves that may be required to reposition and balance cars.
Wagon or railcar planning allows a railway to develop a Wagon Plan corresponding to a Service Design. A Wagon Plan defines how a fleet of wagons will be deployed to execute the trains defined in the service plan and ensure equipment is balanced across the rail network over a planning period.
The Wagon Plan:
Offering terminals, intermodal ports, and other customers for better visibility and planning of their equipment and labor enabling more accurate ETA & ETC, and accurate rail car numbers. Our modules support all the critical core terminal management features needed to operate all the intermodal terminals, from the smallest to the most complex.
With the Locomotive Planning module, Kaleris Rail allows users to develop a locomotive plan corresponding to a service plan.
Locomotive planning is the process of determining how a fleet of locomotives will be deployed to power trains in a train schedule and meet other locomotive demands. Locomotive planning involves:
Kaleris Rail Workforce captures attendance electronically. The staff portal allows staff to sign themselves on for duty and sign off at the end of their shift, with geolocation-based verification. Authorized users can also record staff attendance times centrally.
Kaleris Rail Workforce integrates customers’ data across rosters and electronic timesheets to integrate with their other IT systems. Navis Rail Workforce data can also accommodate customized direct reporting, such as payroll.
