TODO , AnQore and, SAVVY Partnership Sets New Safety Standards with Innovative Rail Tank Car Sensor Technology
In the chemical industry, transporting hazardous materials involves managing substantial risks. AnQore has become a leader in safety innovation, in part due to its strategic partnership with SAVVY® Telematic Systems AG and TODO. This collaboration has led to the development of groundbreaking sensor technology for AnQore's rail tank cars (RTCs), reinforcing the company's commitment to operational excellence and the safeguarding of human life.
For AnQore, safety is not just a regulatory requirement but a foundational principle that underpins every aspect of its operations. The company's dedication to safety is reflected in its extensive fleet of novel RTCs, designed to ensure the secure delivery of acrylonitrile to customers and off-site storage facilities. AnQore's goal has always been to surpass EU legal requirements and drive the entire industry toward higher safety standards.
The partnership with SAVVY® Telematic Systems AG and TODO has been quite instrumental in AnQore's pursuit of this goal. Together, they these companies have created a sensor system that represents a monumental advancement in RTC safety. The sensor's primary function is to verify the correct installation of the pressure cap—a vital safety component on the Acrylonitrile wagons. Incorrectly fitted pressure caps have the potential to create hazardous situations, which AnQore, with SAVVY's and TODOs expertise, is now able to mitigate.
AnQore's comprehensive approach to safety encompasses not just the physical components but also the human element. The company has a long-standing practice of regular audits, safety training, and education for both its employees and partners, reinforcing a culture where safety is an integral part of the work ethic. By combining these practices with advanced technology, AnQore demonstrates that safety is a continuous journey of improvement and innovation.
Developed in collaboration with SAVVY® Telematic Systems AG and TODO, this sophisticated sensor technology significantly enhances safety and security in cargo management, particularly for the transportation of sensitive materials. The TODO pressure cap sensor, a critical component of the SAVVY® CargoTrac-Solar Device, continuously monitors the securement of pressure caps. If a cap is not properly secured, the device immediately alerts personnel with a bright red flashing light, preventing potential accidents, and environmental hazards. This proactive visual cue is crucial for preventing incidents, ensuring that RTCs (Rail Tank Cars) are not cleared for transport without all legal safety barriers in place. Moreover, the technology seamlessly integrates with AnQore's SAVVY® Synergy Enterprise portal, providing real-time monitoring of pressure cap status, historical data, and customizable alerts accessible remotely. This comprehensive solution empowers businesses in the chemical and hazardous material transportation sectors to proactively manage risk, optimize operational efficiency, and maintain the highest safety standards.
The partnership has been pivotal in achieving these safety milestones. TODO's expertise in coupling systems and engineering solutions combined with SAVVY`s expertise in Telematics and sensor integration has complemented AnQore's industry knowledge, resulting in a product that sets a new benchmark for RTC safety. This collaboration serves as a testament to how strategic partnerships can lead to significant advancements in industry standards and practices.
In conclusion, this project between AnQore, SAVVY and TODO has produced sensor technology that stands as a beacon of safety in the transportation of dangerous goods by rail. AnQore's unwavering commitment to safety, bolstered by SAVVYs and TODO's innovative solutions, ensures that the chemical industry moves towards a future where accidents are not just reduced but altogether prevented.
