Railroads have long-standing problems with loss of equipment, yard theft, unrealized detention billing and misdirected dispatch. SkyBitz is the solution the market has been seeking.

While Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) has proven its worth to the rail industry, it's only a partial solution. AEI provides train positioning every 25 to 30 miles. And, while it can identify that a railcar is in a particular yard, finding a railcar within the yard often requires a costly yard check. AEI isn't up to the challenge of customers implementing enterprise resource planning systems that require timely reports on asset location for supply chain management, particularly for assets en route and outside the AEI domain.

SkyBitz provides railroad equipment tracking and information management services via satellite throughout North America using its proven Global Locating System (GLS) platform. That gives you and your customers access to immediate tracking information to monitor and secure your fleet, equipment and cargo wherever they travel. It's a perfect complement to AEI.

The low-cost SkyBitz unit installs in minutes and operates for years on a single set of batteries. The rugged mobile device is a sealed, integrated unit that contains the batteries and antenna, without the need for any external wiring or power source.
