Bogie and frame strain gauges feed local indicators and wireless records to the selected web service. Loading teams compare measured weights and distribution with assigned limits and correct the represented wagon load.
Freight loading teams need weight and distribution measurements while material is being placed on the wagon. PJM provides LoadMonitor, a load-weight application within the WaggonTracker digital wagon system. Strain-gauge measurements, local indicators and web-service records bring the represented loading condition into the team's on-site checks and remote fleet review.
Gauges fitted to the bogie and selected frame points measure the loading values. Signal lamps or a digital display show the represented status at the wagon, while a wheel hub generator powers the selected system. Calibration and loading limits are set through the web portal and stored locally. The installation checks at predefined intervals or after weight changes, with cellular reporting providing the selected remote record.
The loading operator reviews indications of an approaching limit or asymmetric distribution and adjusts the material accordingly. Stored calibration and limits provide local indication during an internet interruption. Fleet teams examine loaded or unloaded status in the portal and receive selected deviation emails. A compatible application programming interface, called an API, shares loading records with existing systems, while chosen train-list workflows combine represented wagon identities and weights for subsequent freight preparation.

Monitor railcar load and flag weight changes.
The selected installation fits gauges to the bogie frame and chosen wagon-frame measurement points, with the required functions defining the arrangement.
Calibration and loading limits are stored locally, so the selected wagon indicators continue presenting the represented loading status.
The web service provides an API interface for selected loading data, alongside chosen portal views and deviation emails.
A chosen train-formation workflow uses app entries, QR-code scans, NFC or manual input. It combines represented wagon identities and selected weights for the train list.
