The Train Scale product range includes systems for internal check weighing and legal-for-trade weighing results as the basis for calculating the weight of individual wagons and train sets – no matter if it’s dynamic or static weighing.

The scales also provide options optimised for monitoring wheel, axle and wagon load.

1. MULTIRAIL Dynamic Train Scale

​

High-precision weighing 

​

MULTIRAIL Dynamic Train Scales for weighing trains and rail wagons have become an industry standard. They provide high-precision, fast and legal-for-trade weighing during transit, both for single wagons as well as complete trains.

​

All MULTIRAIL Train Scales enable you to weigh with precision almost any type of wagon or complete train sets. If not being weighed, wagons can travel at the permissible speed for the track.

​

Liquids are some of the most valuable goods and when it comes to measuring them, every kilogram counts. Even though liquids are in constant motion, MULTIRAIL Dynamic Train Scale for Tank Wagons can take precise measurement in an accuracy class OIML 0.5 or even OIML 0.2.

​

As an add-on, the scales can be equipped with features like automated wagon number identification systems. These include a RFID solution and our MULTIRAIL IDentify – an AI based OCR (Optical Character Recognition) wagon number recognition system.

​

Applications: 

• Legal-for-trade dynamic weighing to OIML R 106, class 0.5 and 0.2.

• For solids and liquids

• Used in logistics as the basis for invoicing

• Dynamic loading applications with possibility for rollback operation

• Optimized solutions for weighing jobs e.g. in the steel, cement, chemical or wood industry 

Advantages:

• Weighing sleepers as a combination of robust concrete ties and legal-for-trade weighing beams – approved by railway and metrological authorities

• Gap-free design optimized for dynamic weighing

• Up to 15 km/h legal-for-trade weighing

• No speed limitation when not weighing

• Option for low profile slab track design

• Modular concept for easy installation

• Optional integrated reference scale

• On premise or cloud software solution for data handling

• Standard data export via REST API

• Remote access for intelligent data analysis and remote diagnosis and support

2. MULTIRAIL Static Train Scale

​

Dynamic weighing is state of the art in the meantime. Still, there are applications where static weighing is needed. Especially for loading applications or handling hazardous goods in ATEX environment static weighing comes into play. We provide classic bridge designs, but also low profile solutions with chemical proof concrete and without pit.

​

We deliver a solution, that fit’s your needs – no matter if it is a refurbishment of an existing scale or a brand new installation. Feel free to contact us – together we will find the best solution for you!

3. MULTIRAIL IDentify

​

Automatic and reliable identification of wagons

​

Wagon numbers are important to logistics in rail transport. They allow wagons to be clearly identified, tracked across a complex rail network and record how long they spend travelling and stationary. Wagon numbers form the basis for communication between logistics partners.

​

MULTIRAIL IDentify from Qlar is an attractive add-on to MULTIRAIL applications. MULTIRAIL IDentify is a reliable and convenient system for automatic wagon number recognition. It is used for input / output control and statistical evaluation of stationary periods. Combined with the MULTIRAIL weighscale, MULTIRAIL IDentify can also directly assign weights and analysis data to the individual wagons.

​

Solid basic functions, plenty of extra variants

​

The basic functions of MULTIRAIL IDentify are recognition of wagon numbers by means of image processing and a software interface to MULTIRAIL systems. Optional functions include data transfer to a superordinate system, image recording of hazardous materials labels, recognition of the position of the dome cover as well as the recognition of the position of the brake handle.

​

Variants for scanning both sides of the wagon and/or frame are also available. MULTIRAIL IDentify can recognize both 12-digit UIC numbers (over three lines) and 8-digit Russian wagon numbers (one line). Numbers can be recognized on wagons moving in both directions in a recording range of 5 to 10 meters in width. The system works at speeds between 2 and 15 km/h, and at temperatures between –15 and +40 degrees Celsius.

MULTIRAIL IDentify is used when shunting.
