Lenzing AG, a global player based in Austria, decided to upgrade further 106 wagons with an automated load monitoring system provided by the WaggonTracker-platform. Its benefits are manifold: The load is monitored during the loading process and thus ensures an optimum load capacity. This results in cost-savings and an increase of efficiency and safety by preventing overload.

The grand business prize “Fast Forward Award” was awarded to PJM. The jury of experts appreciated the innovative power of the WaggonTracker system and designated PJM winner of the competition.
Barbara Eibinger-Miedl, member of the Styrian government and Christoph Ludwig, CEO of SFG, presented the award to Günter Petschnig, CEO of PJM.
Günter Petschnig thanked the PJM-team but also emphasized the relevance of the WaggonTracker-system in terms of environment: “In these days, reducing CO2 emission is a big issue. A monitoring system is crucial to make rail freight transport more attractive, faster and more transparent – and thus achieving a shift from road transport to railway transport.”
The Fast Forward Award is enabled by the SFG. The participating companies have to face a multilevel selection process. A festive event is the final highlight.

The Styrian magazine Klipp created a video documentation on the Fast Forward Awards and its winners, too.
PJM has pioneered the digital rail freight transport. Crucial information in real-time on rail freight wagons and automated processes result in higher efficiency, time-saving and cost-savings. Hence, the rail freight cargo gets more attractive. The technology behind this is the patented WaggonTracker-system.
International customers like SBB Cargo and Mercitalia appreciate the benefits of this overall digital system. Austrian customers such as Lenzing AG count on intelligent freight cars, too. More than 2.000 WaggonTracker-systems have been installed worldwide.
More information on the WaggonTracker-system is provided here.

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