Sofis - Automatic Vehicle Identification and Locating

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.

 

Sofis benefits

Low investment and installation costs
Improved logistics due to efficient resource management
Absolutely no need for maintenance of ID tags
No monitoring management of ID tags and antennas required
Easy system integration due to use of standard interfaces
Identification of all vehicles according to their individual code
High transparency through a time and date stamp for every vehicle identified
Easy adaptation of hardware and software to higher-level applications
