With the premise of creating optimum efficiency and safety in rail freight transport, PJM was the first company that has succeeded to automate manual processes and develop in-depth monitoring functionalities. These include automatic brake testing, which is the first and only approved system in the world, and automatic load weight monitoring. PJM is also a leader developing smart train monitoring functions, such as kingpin monitoring, comprehensive brake system monitoring and a derailment diagnostics system. The basis for these far-reaching functionalities is the WaggonTracker system. Due to the modular design and the autonomous power supply, the system can be scaled as required with future or customized applications, for example with the DAC.

PJM’s digital system is on board of Europe's smartest freight train operated by FS Logistix and it also on board of freight wagons of SBB Cargo, Plasser & Theurer, Mercer, Lenzing and many more. Furthermore, it is offered as an equipment option in the portfolio of the leading railcar lessors VTG, GATX and TRANSWAGGON and of Tatravagónka, Europe’s leading freight wagon manufacturer.

Railway asset maintenance starts with inspecting dispersed assets. Traditional manual field inspections or asset inventory campaigns are time-consuming but also come with safety risks.

These maintenance processes are being revolutionized thanks to the rise of large-scale imaging - especially 3D data from #LiDAR sensors. Site evaluations are increasingly performed remotely through desktop analysis, significantly reducing the need for on-site inspections.

Kapernikov streamlines this process by automating the analysis of vast amounts of railway 3D data on a flexible platform. Our AI-powered algorithms detect vegetation overgrowth, rail instability or catenary malfunctions, seamlessly integrating with existing workflows in SAP EAM or IBM Maximo.

We’re proud to help leading railway operators embrace digital transformation, making railway maintenance smarter, safer and more efficient.
