Mercitalia Rail: Intelligent freight wagons are ready to go

Mercitalia upgraded 240 Shimmns Coil Transport Wagons with the monitoring system WaggonTracker ADV

The multi-functional system provides comprehensive information in a very clear and well-arranged way:

Weighting analysis including a precise load analysis (e.g. asymmetric load). The staff gets all the required information on the ground. Thus it is possible to correct the loads if necessary.
Monitoring of any impacts during standstill
Running-gear monitoring on the ride

PJM installed the intelligent monitoring system on the wagons of the latest generation ex works. 200 wagons are ready to go for Mercitalia, another 40 will be delivered in March.

PJM on the 9th VPI Symposium in Hamburg in January 2019

On the VDI’s first meeting of the year, the automation of rail freight transport and telematics were in the limelight. Our CEOs Martin Joch and Günter Petschnig presented the patent-registered WaggonTracker which perfectly combines automation and digitalisation. This system has been an established and proven technology for more than one year. The best practise of automated brake test for SBB Cargo clearly shows the efficiency and advantages in contrast to conventional, manual brake tests.

About 300 members and guests discussed new issues and developments. VPI is going to break new grounds by founding VPI European Rail Service GmbH (VERS). Further information on: https://www.vpihamburg.de/news/pm-symposium-2019
