Live Demo of New Smart Railcars Remote Tracking, Monitoring
MHF Logistical Solutions Inc., a leading provider of packaging, transportation and technical services for generators and shippers of radioactive, hazardous and non- hazardous waste and materials, said today that it will offer live, real-time demonstrations of its new remote tracking and cargo monitoring service at the Waste Management Conference meeting in Tucson, Arizona, next week (February 26 - March 2).
The company said it will also showcase the most recent additions to its extensive line of packaging products for radioactive waste and other types of hazardous and non-hazardous waste and materials. The annual Waste Management Conference is the nuclear waste management industry’s premier event. MHF-LS has long been a financial and program supporter of the conference. The new remote railcar tracking and cargo monitoring service incorporates MHF-LS-operated railcars equipped with long-life, battery-operated wireless devices and monitoring equipment. The service enables MHF-LS and its clients to track exact locations and operating status of railcars in use across North America, as well as the condition of their contents.
The wireless devices incorporate global positioning satellite (GPS) technology linked to MHF-LS’ systems. Participants at the Waste Management Conference will be able to watch actual deployment of the remote tracking and diagnostic systems. “We’re excited to be offering our new asset-tracking capabilities at the Waste Management Conference. We believe the technology will be a powerful catalyst for our clients’ ability to improve operational efficiencies,” said Rick Zink, MHF-LS executive vice president. “It’s especially appropriate to spotlight the smart railcars service in Tucson. We were pioneers in making rail a viable option for the safe and economical transportation of radioactive materials. Now, through innovation, we’re adding to the attractiveness of rail for a wide range of shippers.”
