Carmen® UIC code recognition
Automate any railway system with UIC code identification
Overview
What do these trains carry? Are they on time? Are they where they should be? Any missing carriages? – you can answer these questions easily by having an automatic railway code recognition system. Carmen® UIC was developed exactly for such a function.
This is the way how commercial railway system operators register passing railway carriages (carrying cargo or passengers) without human assistance by taking advantage of automation. The gathered data – the codes, used for identifying railway cargo (called UIC) are automatically stored and processed for statistical and system management purposes – functions that simply cannot be done manually.

WHAT IS A UIC CODE?
UIC codes are those special pieces of data that wagons have printed on them – a key data for railway operations. UIC code recognition helps identifying and tracking railway wagons for railway operators, infrastructure companies and transportation authorities. UIC, by the way, stands for the the French name of the International Union of Railways (Union Internationale des Chemins de Fer), the number system is defined in UIC leaflet 920-14.
