Have a great start into spring 2021 and Happy Easter!
ETR magazine reports on the load monitoring system
The German special interest magazine ETR provides a deep insight into the load monitoring system in use by Mercer & TRANSWAGGON. Timber is a "difficult" transport material, due to its varying volume.upDepending on weather conditions, the weight of wood can vary by up to 50 %. The load monitoring system ensures the optimum load capacity during the loading process.

The autonomous measuring system: The smartphone among railway measurements
In our technical life as well as in our everyday life, the requirements of tools like a smartphone are a matter of course: quick, flexible, simple, high-performing and accessible all the times. Based on these premises, PJM had developed a new measuring system meeting the technological demands of the 21st century.
The “autonomous measuring system” combines up-to-date and proven standard components and thus creates an entirely new application. The result is a digital measuring system providing three major benefits: The system is easy to install (in just a few steps), it permanently generates required data and then provides the data in real-time on online-platforms. “The autonomous measuring system is a quick, flexible and stable solution, which can be easily integrated in the existing operating systems of our customers. Due to proven standard components, the system is very stable. By the innovative combination of proven tools, we managed to create numerous additional features”, say Martin Joch and Günter Petchnig, CEO of PJM. The functionality and reliability of the new system had been proven and well-tried by various international projects.
With the autonomous measuring system PJM has set another milestone in digitalising rail freight cargo.
Get all about the innovation, its concept and benefits in our latest press-release:
It's up to the perfect mix: precision, expertise & flexibility
innofreight is an Austrian specialist for innovative railway transport and logistics systems. When it comes to make the right choice of shock sensors, innofreight counts on PJM’s know-how. Due to our calibrated measurement system, we were able to detect which of the new sensors would be the most precise one. For large-scale projects as well as for smaller projects, it’s always up to precision and expertise. As well as flexibility. We performed the measurements right at the beginning of the new year.
Measuring turnouts for voestalpine Railway Systems
In its business segments, voestalpine is a globally leading steel and technology group with a unique combination of materials and processing expertise. voestalpine Railway Systems, a subsidiary company of voestalpine AG with approximately 7.000 employees, is the global leader for railway infrastructure system solutions, offering outstanding products, logistics and services for rails, turnouts, signaling and monitoring applications.
In the current project, PJM has performed measurements at the turnouts in Vienna Liesing. The track next to the regional transport hub in the south of Vienna is heavily frequented since train run every 5-10 minutes. By using our measurement data, we determine the stress on the turnouts over a period of two years. Therefore, our team had installed the measurement technology in November 2020. The measurements are performed fully automated. The data will be transmitted to the PJM servers via mobile network. Parallel to this, data analysis will run over the next 24 months.
Merry Christmas & a Happy News Year!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & a Healthy and Great 2021!
