Konux has announced another high-profile addition to its team: Following three new additions to the management team, Dr. Volker Kefer is now supporting the Munich-based IoT startup in a cooperative role. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Until the end of 2016, Volker Kefer was a member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Bahn AG, most recently as Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board and responsible for Infrastructure, Services, and Technology. The 62-year-old currently also serves as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Vossloh AG and as a consultant.<\/p>\n

Konux combines smart sensors and analytics based on artificial intelligence, enabling railway companies to improve the availability of their assets and thus punctuality and maintenance through predictive maintenance planning.<\/p>\n

In his role at Konux, Volker Kefer will focus strategically and operationally on the projects "Expanding the product portfolio" and "Expanding internationalization." The Munich-based startup plans to roll out customer projects in more than six countries by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Expand product portfolio after personnel reinforcement<\/h3>\n

CEO Andreas Kunze<\/strong> says about the new addition:<\/p>\n

"We are delighted to have Volker Kefer join our company with his decades of industry experience. With Volker Kefer, we are bringing a proven expert in the railway industry and technology on board. He represents deep industry expertise as well as technological and operational excellence. Combined with our own IT and AI expertise, this is another important step in the development of our company."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Volker Kefer<\/strong> says about his involvement with the successful startup:<\/p>\n

"In the third phase of my professional life, I always wanted to work as an entrepreneur. Konux, as an excellently managed startup, offers the best opportunities to combine technical experience with management and entrepreneurship. We want to make something of this mix together, and I'm very confident we can succeed, especially since Konux's digital technology offers railway companies many opportunities to increase the availability of their systems."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After successful financing round in April<\/a> of the year, the new management hires from Tesla, T-Systems International and Accenture<\/a> and the appointment of Volker Kefer, Konux is now planning to rapidly further expand its internationalization and expand its product portfolio.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
