Rail Cargo Austria freight trains become “smart”

The Rail Cargo Group, the freight division of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), sought a solution to track the position and movement of its freight wagons across Europe. They partnered with vendor A1 Digital to implement an end-to-end IoT solution.

A1 Digital equipped over 11,000 wagons with their robust, energy-self-sufficient SmartCargo devices, which use M2M SIM cards to transmit GPS and sensor data to a custom IoT platform. This solution provides comprehensive tracking, geofencing, and shock detection, delivering valuable transport information. The implementation has revolutionized wagon management for the Rail Cargo Group, providing real added value for their customers.
