Umler® is the source of critical data for more than two million pieces of North American rail, steamship, and highway equipment.
The Umler system provides secure access for equipment management and reporting tools, helping equipment owners provide high-quality data to logistics partners and customers.
The system identifies internal and external dimensions, capacities, weight information, and other specific characteristics of freight cars–as well as intermodal trailers and containers. It also serves as the base file for other standard industry equipment reference and management systems.
Railroads, equipment owners, agents, shippers, ports, suppliers, industry consultants, government agencies, and railcar service providers use Umler for the safe and efficient placement, movement, and interchange of railcars.
Umler also includes these enhanced functions:
- Umler Change Request Form: Provide details for all Umler system changes, including new elements, permissible values and business rules. Complete the form and email it to csc@railinc.com.
- Component Registry: Register certain railcar components and associate them with equipment for greater visibility into equipment health.
- Conflict Management: Identify equipment records in conflict, with supporting processes to resolve issues. Error messages identify changes that must be made to correct invalid equipment data.
