AI/IIoT-driven predictive maintenance for rail

Overview

KONUX uses AI and IIoT to monitor railway assets and provide predictive maintenance. Its main product, KONUX Switch, constantly monitors signaling and track components such as point machines and analyzes data to generate maintenance recommendations. This helps infrastructure managers plan maintenance before failures, reduces switch failures by about 50%, and lowers lifecycle costs. KONUX differentiates itself with data-driven decision making, a redesigned user experience for easy access to insights, and a goal of smoother, more reliable, cost-efficient rail operations.

  • KONUX won ADIF’s 2024 contract for 200 turnouts, proving cross-border demand.

What critics are saying

  • KONUX announced a February 2026 strategic reset, signaling budget pressure and narrower ambitions.
  • Repeated CEO changes through 2024-2026 threaten execution and customer confidence.
  • If Deutsche Bahn or ADIF pause rollouts, KONUX loses its only clear scale path.
