At the end of 2020, Konux and Deutsche Bahn concluded a long-term framework agreement. The aim of the cooperation Munich startups The aim of the project with DB is to digitize an initial 650 switches and implement predictive maintenance. This will prevent failures on heavily used lines. Last year, Konux implemented its 650 IoT monitoring units and integrated them into the existing DB system diagnostics and analysis platform.
“The way is clear for more punctuality on the railways”
The Konux CEO Adam Bonnifield says:
"I am very pleased and proud that we have reached this important milestone together with our customer Deutsche Bahn. Passing the verification process represents significant progress in the project and proves the reliability of our predictions. This paves the way for a broader application of our solution and thus for overall greater punctuality for the railway."
The DB project manager Nina Kippenberg says:
"Deutsche Bahn places the highest demands on its technical infrastructure. Therefore, successfully demonstrating compliance in this safety-critical area is an important milestone. This helps our colleagues in the field and is a good step toward more predictive maintenance. This will make us more digital and bring more people onto the train. A great success for all teams involved!"
Konux was founded in 2014 by TUM graduates Andreas Kunze, Dennis Humhal, Maximilian Hasler and Vlad Lata and has so far over 120 million euros in investments.
