The new production process uses digital work instructions and quality checks at each stage of assembly. Every WaggonTracker unit receives a digital record, allowing it to be traced throughout its product lifecycle.
Each system box is fully tested and must complete a 48-hour automated endurance test before installation on a freight wagon. Final commissioning is documented digitally using tablets and QR codes.
The modular production line is designed to support different projects with short changeover times. PJ Monitoring said capacity can also be expanded as demand increases, although the company did not disclose current or planned production volumes.
WaggonTracker combines automatic brake testing with the monitoring of freight wagon components. Its functions include real-time brake monitoring and load-weight measurement.
“It was a logical step to expand our production capacity and quality standards, given the developments of recent years,” said Günter Petschnig, CEO of PJ Monitoring. He added that the company’s customer base among wagon owners and leasing companies had continued to grow.
The company’s former production hall will now be used for development and prototyping. PJ Monitoring has also expanded its software and safety development teams and added office space near its Graz headquarters.
