Efficient resource management of the rolling stock is becoming a very important strategic competitive advantage for railway operators. The objectives of resource management today are the quick provision of vehicles, the determination of optimum transport routes, but also permanent vehicle locating and management.
Sofis, the Siemens surface acoustic wave identification system, optimally supports resource management.
Sofis uses the characteristics of surface acoustic waves. The system is used for non-contact identification of ID tags located on mobile or stationary objects. The scope of application of the system ranges from object identification through automatic control tasks to the locating of vehicles.
