TransCore is a pioneer of radio-frequency identification (RFID) based automatic equipment identification (AEI) in transportation.
The company offers a suite of high-performance, RFID-based rail products designed to meet the toughest conditions in the most demanding passenger and wayside rail applications.
RFID technology and wayside rail systems
In 1991, the North American rail industry adopted a mandatory AEI standard based on TransCore’s technology. Since that success, there have been many others in countries worldwide.
TransCore’s rail products provide an accurate, easy and reliable way to collect critical data. This allows rail, port, marine and trucking companies to electronically track and monitor assets effectively, which results in increased equipment use and reduced re-handles, dwell time and overhead.
TransCore is always improving its technology, and applications evolve with those advancements. Recent innovations include high speed reading / writing capabilities, memory capacity, and on-the-fly programming with security features.

Battery-free transportation tags for railroads
TransCore’s battery-free transportation tags are designed for years of continued and reliable use in the harshest railroad operating environments. The North American rail industry adopted these tags in their AEI standard because of their durability and reliable performance when exposed to the most extreme environmental conditions, such as snow, ice, rain, dirt, oil and severe temperatures.
The requirements of the standard were stringent; tags must last the lifetime of the equipment they are affixed to, require no maintenance, and operate indefinitely with 99% reliability.
RFID train positioning technology
For decades, TransCore has provided AEI solutions in passenger rail that help improve safety, passenger comfort and profitability. The technology provides accurate position information, so the train’s on-board control system can determine speed and distances. TransCore products enable a variety of solutions based on your requirements and applications.
