Innovation at its best: Fast Forward Award 2019 goes to PJM
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.

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.
