PJM awarded Austrian National Award for Engineering Consulting

PJM was awarded the Austrian National Award for Engineering Consulting 2021 on May, 11th. The submitted project convinced the 13 experts of the expert jury chaired by DI Dr. Peter Holzer.

A new technical procedure was developed, which was applied among others for the Barcelona metro, with which the rails and tracks of city railways and underground trains can be measured smartly and digitally in a short time. For this, mobile measuring technology is used that is installed on an existing vehicle - instead of conventional measuring trains. These cannot be used for urban railways due to the smaller clearance gauge profiles. "The jury is unanimously convinced that the attractiveness of inner-city public transport can be increased with this technology, because the availability, safety and comfort of passengers is significantly increased", states the jury.

"What a great award! The expert jury looked at our solution in detail and asked well-founded questions. The State Prize is a wonderful confirmation of our daily striving for reliable solutions and innovative concepts. A big thank you also to our client voestalpine Tracking Solutions Germany GmbH," says Martin Joch, CEO of PJM.

About the State Prize

The State Prize for Consulting has been awarded by the Ministry of Economics since 1990, since 2010 alternately for "Engineering Consulting" (organiser: Austrian Consultants Association - ACA) and for "Management Consulting and Information Technology".

Coopération commerciale entre Voith et PJM

Le groupe mondial de technique d'exploitation Voith, dont le siège est à Heidenheim, et le spécialiste autrichien des systèmes de transport ferroviaire PJM unissent leurs compétences dans le domaine du transport ferroviaire de marchandises et deviennent partenaires commerciaux. La plateforme numérique WaggonTracker complète dès à présent le portefeuille de produits et le réseau de distribution du groupe Voith. Les deux entreprises font ainsi évoluer leur coopération de développement dans le domaine de la gestion logistique numérisée, annoncée à l'automne 2021, en un partenariat commercial. „La solution de PJM est depuis une décennie et avec plusieurs milliers d'installations la référence technique sur le marché, Voith est donc très heureux d'avoir un tel produit dans notre portefeuille de vente", Matheus Habets, Vice President Product Management Digitalization Mobility. "L'innovation et l'automatisation font progresser le transport ferroviaire, dont nous avons urgemment besoin en termes de politique climatique. Nous sommes fiers d'avoir Voith comme partenaire innovant avec une connaissance approfondie de l'industrie et un réseau mondial de vente et de service", Günter Petschnig, PDG de PJM.

Le système WaggonTracker est un système numérique global unique au monde qui combine surveillance et automatisation. Le système est, entre autres, la base de l'essai de freinage automatisé, qui est un élément essentiel de la modernisation du transport ferroviaire de marchandises. Le système automatisé d'essai de freins de PJM a récemment été évalué positivement en tant que premier système de référence en Europe et fait déjà l'objet d'essais opérationnels approfondis. Voith est l'un des principaux fabricants de systèmes d'attelage. L'attelage automatique CargoFlex, utilisé avec succès depuis des années sur des centaines de wagons de marchandises, n'est qu'une des nombreuses innovations. Les innovations éprouvées WaggonTracker et CargoFlex se complètent idéalement en tant que solution globale pour le transport numérique et automatisé de marchandises. L'attelage automatique de fret conduit à une plus grande compétitivité du transport ferroviaire de marchandises, grâce, entre autres, à des processus de manœuvre et de formation de trains accélérés, à une sécurité de travail accrue, à des temps de transport plus courts et à une vitesse de conduite plus élevée.

Mercitalia and PJM put Europe's smartest freight train on track

Mercitalia Intermodal (Polo Mercitalia – Gruppo FS Italiane) and PJM put the smartest rail freight train on track. Due to a wide range of functionalities, Mercitalia Intermodal benefits from shorter delivery times as well as condition-based maintenance providing concrete and relevant information. All this together results in savings on maintenance and servicing, more safety and greater efficiency. The gamut of functionalities comprises:

  • Condition-based monitoring in real-time
  • Multi-diagnosis system for load monitoring, brake analysis and brake system monitoring in real-time (correct function of the brakes in terms of pressure in the main pipe, load and cylinder pressure during stillstand and on the ride, brake energy analysis in order for early detection of defective and overloaded brake systems)
  • Train dynamic control to identify critical running situations and defects
  • Determination of running comfort and running safety as well as detection of longitudinal and vertical impacts
  • Real-time trestle monitoring for reliable and safe detection of the correct setting for trailer transports in the intermodal sector
  • Automated brake testing system developed by PJM, SBB Cargo and Rail Cargo Group

The integrated in-train communication is capable of transmitting data to the train driver in case of derailment, incorrect braking conditions, brake overloads, hot box warnings, trestle monitoring and any other safety-related and technical relevant problems.

This is the smartest freight train on track, providing many benefits to Mercitalia Intermodal: shorter delivery times, impactful condition-based maintenance and therefore savings on maintenance and repair work, greater safety and more efficiency.

Get all the details on the ultra-smart train including a full list of functionalities in the latest pressrelease:
