Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & a Healthy and Great 2021!
A short video portrait of the WaggonTracker system provided by Houska Award 2020
All crucial features on our WaggonTracker system are shown in a less-than-2-minutes-video. The film crew of the Houska Award 2020 has packed the technology of our digital overall system in a "how to explain the WaggonTracker assets video" (in German language).
The WaggonTracker system was nominated the renowned Houska Award 2020 and thus among the best five Austrian research projects.

Around the world: Successful projects in over 30 countries
From Graz into the whole world. PJM had realized test rides and tests for approval in more than 30 countries. Among them: the subway in Chicago and Oslo, the tube in London, the suburban rail in Berlin and the Indian Railway in Hyderabad, the passenger train in Canada and the Brightline in Florida. Customers all over the world appreciate the know-how and experience of PJM. Our team is familiar with country-specific regulations. Our global experience is the basis to plan and organise our projects in an efficient way. For our customers, we travel around the world – even if takes longer than 80 days.
Key player: The automatic brake test in the one-person-operated-train
10 minutes instead of 40: This crucial time saving is no longer just a future vision but reality. The automatic brake test has been in operation on rail freight trains by SBB Cargo. By the end of the tests, 1 million km will have been run. Regarding the development of the automatic brake test, crucial know-how comes from PJM. Get more about the status quo of the “one-person-operated-train” by SBB Cargo and the automatic brake test developed by SBB Cargo, PJM and Rail Cargo Austria in the latest issue of the German special interest magazine PJM.

Engineering expertise for developing new rail freight wagons
Developing new types of rail freight wagons requires a high level of engineering know-how. The basic concept of a rail freight wagon is maximum load capacity as well as a low tare weight with a maximumg safety level. Exactly these requirements are in the focus in developing a new 60ft rail freight car ordered by innofreight, the Austrian specialist for innovative systems of rail freight transport. Due to our highly experienced engineering team, PJM was the first choice: Our profound metrological know-how ensured a perfect link-up to the ral product during the whole delelopment process.

Loading timber the easy way – thanks to the load monitoring system
Mercer Holz is a well-known company in the German timber industry. Every year, Mercer Holz purchases over 5 million cubic metres round timber and sawmill by-products. Hence, the freight volume is very high. About 1,8 million cubic metres round timber and wood chip are transported by rail. In order to simplify the loading process, Mercer Holz has implemented the Load-Monitor-system by PJM. On account of the variable density of timber, volume is not the ideal loading parameter. The load monitoring-system automatically determines the loading process on-site. The load is indicated by signal lamps on the wagon or on the display of the person being in charge of the loading process. Thus, the loading staff is assisted locally and can adjust the load immediately (e.g. in case of overload, impacts etc.). The load monitoring systems provides safety and an increase of efficiency. The load is always at an optimum level.
In February, our WaggonTracker-team has completed the project in Niesky / Germany: 157 load monitoring systems were installed on new wagons and 50 (existing) were upgraded with the PJM-systems.

Just like a fairy tale: Approval tests of Stadler FLIRT on the regional railway TILO
It's landscape just like in a fairy tale: The approval tests of new Stadler FLIRT trains were performed amongst others on the world-famous Gotthard railway. Within the comprehensive tests, there was a focus on the aquivalent conicity of the rail-wheel-contact. Get the full project story as download or on:
