CONNECTIVITY & INTERFACE PRODUCTS
PC*MILER|RAIL-CONNECT: Connectivity
with Other Windows and Transportation Software Products
PC*MILER|Rail-Connect is an optional
module that enables seamless integration of the full product
functionality with other Windows-based software
applications. This product enables users to automatically
generate PC*MILER|Rail mileage from within Microsoft®
Excel®, and to perform a variety of rail rating and
operations analyses.
PC*MILER|Rail-Connect can display
equipment and facility information as “pin maps” for real
time routing and mapping. This capability enables users to
display rail car location data for detailed operation
visualization:
PC*MILER|Rail-Connect also enables the
integration of PC*MILER|Rail routes, mileage, reports and
maps with all leading transportation and logistics
management, costing, and tracking software systems.
PC*MILER|Rail-TCP/IP
Now available, PC*MILER|Rail-TCP/IP
provides a way to interact with the PC*MILER|Rail
Connectivity (DLL) Products, running on Windows personal
computers, over a TCP/IP network from any other computer
platform. Most applicable functions of PC*MILER|Rail-Connect
are supported. (Mapping functions are currently not
supported via the TCP/IP interface.)
PC*MILER|RAIL-BATCHPRO
PC*MILER|Rail-BatchPro allows users to
automatically summarize empty, loaded, and total mileage by
equipment ID, railroad, and/or state/province for a large
number of rail movements. Batch processing gives PC*MILER|Rail
the power and flexibility to handle tasks involving large
volumes of origin-destination records. Users can process
locations using a variety of geographic codes including
city/state names, SPLC’s, FSAC’s, ERPC’s and R260 junction
codes.
The batch processing module features
numerous processing options, including:
-
The ability to calculate distances
between locations identified on adjacent records, using
industry-standard data such as car location messages (CLM’s)
or any custom format
-
The ability to generate multiple rail
routes (with railroad, mileage and junction information
for each route) from origin-destination input records
for all four route types
-
The ability to generate
point-to-point railroad mileage from input records
containing an equipment identifier, railroad and
origin-destination SPLC’s
Using PC*MILER|Rail-BatchPro with Rail
EDI Products
Several communications packages are used by rail carriers
and shippers to retrieve CLM’s and track the movement of
their equipment. PC*MILER|Rail’s batch processing module
works with any of these products to summarize empty, loaded
and total miles by equipment ID, rail carrier and
state/province. The PC*MILER|Rail-Connect module also allows
users to identify and visually analyze the current location
and historical progress of their equipment.
The batch processing module enables the
retrieval of CLM’s into “Report Files” using one of the
standard CLM formats. This data is retrieved from one or
more carriers on a regular basis, and collected in the same
report file over time (a month or more) to build a historic
record of car movements for the fleet. These files may then
be accessed directly from PC*MILER|Rail.
