Benefits

Purpose-built for rail inspections workflows

Focalx specializes in rail workflows and reporting

Configure workflows by railcar type – bi-level or tri-level – with clear steps for load lines, vehicle positioning, and inspection points. Operators follow a guided flow that matches how ramps actually work.

Document and verify securement elements like straps, wheel chocks, and vehicle spacing to ensure rail compliance and prevent in-transit damage.

Role-based dashboards give each stakeholder instant visibility into inspections, damage status, and operational performance.

Automated damage capture
Example flow

Inspections directly on the railcars

Operators capture photos on the railcars to detect:

  • Vehicle damage
  • Vehicle spacing and placement on the load line
  • Securement exceptions (straps and chocks)
  • Seal numbers and other identification details

Each photo is tied to VIN, railcar, and train, forming a clear audit trail.
