New partnership with Nexxiot adds asset intelligence technology to newly manufactured tank cars for safer transportation of dangerous goods

Polish pressure vessel manufacturer Chemet is partnering with IoT firm Nexxiot to make its railway tank cars smarter.

The company says it plans to integrate Nexxiot’s Asset Intelligence technology into its newly manufactured railway tank cars as the first European manufacturer to commit to fully digitizing its new tank car offerings. Users will be able to access the real-time location of equipped railway tank cars, monitor total mileage, and shocks, and receive notifications if the tank experiences significant temperature changes.

“Our customers have expressed an increased desire for digitalization, and we want to ensure that their needs are being met,” said Bartosz Urbaniak, commercial operations director of Chemet. “Partnering with Nexxiot allows CHEMET to offer fully digitalized tank cars and eliminates the need for our customers to undergo the rigorous process of identifying, mounting and coordinating the rollout of new technology themselves.

“Chemet manufactures the safest railway tank cars available today, and with the addition of Nexxiot’s technology, our customers will benefit from smarter and safer tank cars that are rail-ready right off the manufacturing line.”

Nexxiot’s sensors and data analytics also provide advance notice of adverse conditions, preventing greater damage and losses, the company said.

“We want to celebrate Chemet’s bold move to fully digitalize their manufactured tank cars,” said Stefan Kalmund, CEO of Nexxiot. “The deployment is an important step in the digitalization of tanks and sets an example for the industry to aspire to.”
