Mercer is a full-service-provider for timber industry and wood owners. The portfolio of the German, innovative company comprises pulp mills and a saw mill in Germany. Hence, these figures clearly show Mercer's relevance on the European continent: Every year, Mercer purchases over 7 million bank meters of wood, among it 5 million round timber. Over 3,5 million tons of wood are transported by rail. All in all that's over 2.000 block trains per year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, Mercer Holz is one of the biggest wooden rail logistic providers in Europe. Wood is a very valuable raw material yet \"difficult\" for transporters. \"Due to the different density and moisture, wood can differ in weight by up to 50%\", says Jürgen Köhler, Head of Logistics at Mercer Holz GmbH. This is a great uncertainty factor having a significant impact on logistics: cost-effectiveness, security and error frequency. A perfect solution is the LoadMonitor-system by PJM. In addition to important data acquisition in real time via general monitoring functions, the LoadMonitor-system provided an automated loading process. \"We need reliable, stable wagons and loading security - for both shipping companies and customers\", summarizes Jürgen Köhler. Now. Mercer Holz has closed the gaps in the logistics process chain with the LoadMonitor. All essential information about freight wagons as well as an automatic loading control on site are covered by just one system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lothar Krebs, Deputy Sales Manager of TRANSWAGGON GmbH in Hamburg, brings a different perspective from the wagon keeper's point of view. \"For our customers, a big issue is when vehicles are stopped or removed from the track. That costs time and money. His experience with the LoadMonitor-system: \"The use of capacity has increased a lot. It's a great benefit that the loader can immediately see whether the wagon is overloaded or not\". His conclusio: \"The cooperation worked very well, as did the implementation of the PJM-system and the entire project management. The system runs very smoothly\". He prognoses: \"Digitalising rail freight is fundamentally correct and must be the future.”<\/span><\/p>\n
