Overview:

The Union Pacific Railroad is the largest railroad in the United States. In order to automate and improve the process of tie inspection and replacement, a mobile computing system was deployed using handheld computers with Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The Union Pacific Engineering Systems Group deployed a system for railroad tie inspection to be used by the "System Tie Spotters." The solution included Symbol 8100 handheld computers with snap-on modems and LinksPoint Bluetooth GPS. The Union Pacific mobile solution is very successful in that it provides benefits far beyond simply automating a process. It eliminates the use of paper recordkeeping and additional data entry.
