Procor Limited is a railway shipping car producing company based in Sarnia Ontario, with a focus and expertise in private rail car rental fleet. Procor manages a fleet of more than 31,000 conventional and special purpose tank and freight cars. Procor currently has a manual data entry and scheduling system consisting mainly of Excel tables that are hard to maintain and they are shared nationally across their offices. This system is very susceptible to errors. Through the proposed project Procor Ltd. is collaborating with Lambton College's Information Technology and Communication Research Centre to design, implement and deploy a state of the art, advanced distributed global rail car scheduling and management system (DGRCSM) for Procor's online or intranet-based rail car management and scheduling system. An in-house solution would provide Procor Ltd. the ability to meet all the current challenges they face and have a solution that they fully own, not relying on 3rd parties, and providing the company with the freedom from market changes and ensuring their ability to provide tailored services to their clients as they continue to expand their business. Lambton's research team team will work with the Procor team closely to develop and implement the new system. Procor will benefit from having a cloud based, real time system that is secure, trans-national and multi-user allowing for integrated management of their fleet with its support and maintenance built in. The solution aids in the enhanced flexibility of utilizing modern software development techniques that minimize overall cost, minimize disruption and lower security risks for the system that.

宝高有限公司是一家总部位于安大略省萨尼亚的铁路运输车辆生产公司，专注于私人轨道车辆租赁车队。宝高管理着一支由3.1万多辆常规和特殊用途油罐车和货车组成的车队。 Procor目前有一个手工数据输入和调度系统，主要由难以维护的Excel表格组成，这些表格在全国各办公室共享。这个系统很容易出错。 通过拟议的项目，宝洁有限公司将与兰伯顿学院的信息技术和通信研究中心合作，为宝洁的在线或基于内部网的轨道车辆管理和调度系统设计、实施和部署先进的分布式全球轨道车辆调度和管理系统(DGRCSM)。内部解决方案将使宝洁有限公司能够应对当前面临的所有挑战，并拥有自己完全拥有的解决方案，而不依赖第三方，使公司能够不受市场变化的影响，并确保在客户继续扩大业务的同时，他们能够为客户提供量身定做的服务。 Lambton的研究团队将与宝洁团队密切合作，开发和实施新系统。宝高将受益于拥有一个基于云的实时系统，该系统安全、跨国和多用户，允许对其机队进行集成管理，并内置支持和维护。该解决方案有助于提高利用现代软件开发技术的灵活性，这些技术可将总成本降至最低，将中断降至最低，并降低系统的安全风险。
