Cutting-edge freight digitization company Nexxiot and Eurowagon, operator of Poland’s largest pool of independent rental freight railcars, have announced a new collaboration that aims to advance safety and automation standards across European rail fleets. The partnership will equip Eurowagon’s expanding fleet with Nexxiot’s latest Kingpin sensors which monitor the loading of semitrailers onto railcars, ensuring enhanced safety and process automation to supply chain assets.

Marek Gołębiewski, Technical Director at Eurowagon says: “Through our collaboration with Nexxiot, Eurowagon provides our clients the latest digital solutions that offer unparalleled safety accountability and cargo transparency. By employing the latest IoT sensors like Kingpin Monitor, we demonstrate that we think differently about creating value, rapidly moving to deliver next generation digital tools that speed operations and improve safety.”
Nexxiot’s Kingpin Monitor is proprietary digital hardware device that is a game changer for the industry that promises to speed supply chain operations through automation. When a semitrailer is loaded onto a railcar, the installation requires precision placement of a ‘kingpin’ which fixes the whole trailer in place. Normally, this is a highly manual process which includes visual checks from people on the ground. Nexxiot’s Kingpin Monitor now makes it possible to operate an independent digital confirmation of correct kingpin placement, a process that’s faster and safer than manual installation.

Eurowagon’s initial deployment of the Kingpin Monitor has already begun.
Nexxiot’s CEO Stefan Kalmund explains: “The Kingpin Monitor speeds up the loading process, saving time and money while maximizing the utilization of assets and significantly improving safety at intermodal facilities. And because rail is five-to-seven times more sustainable than road transport, we making operations more sustainable too.”
Driven to be leaders in supply chain digitization, both Nexxiot and Eurowagon are committed to investing in future-proof technology that will deliver higher quality standards and sustainability for the cargo industry.
