KONUX marks a new step that carries significance far beyond our products or platforms: we have recorded over 500 million train traces. It is one of the largest datasets of its kind in the rail industry and a defining moment in our journey to transform rail operations.

This achievement is beyond scale, it reflects a decade of trust from the industry, engineering teams, and partners who chose KONUX to help digitise the way critical infrastructure is managed. It also reflects and reinforces our role in supporting the industry’s shift toward a more predictive, resilient, and data-driven future. This progress strengthens KONUX’s position as a company building the data foundation for the future of rail.

Why data at this depth matters for rail

Rail networks generate vast amounts of movement, load, and condition information every day. Historically, this data has been fragmented, underused, siloed, or locked in systems that cannot learn from it. Reaching 500 million traces means something different. It demonstrates that rail can benefit from the same kind of intelligence that transformed aviation, manufacturing, and energy. It shows that high-quality, real-world data can finally be aggregated at a scale where AI can meaningfully improve network reliability, asset maintenance planning, and operational decision-making.

This achievement is a signal: Rail is entering an era where evidence and predictive intelligence will shape decisions previously driven by constraints and tradition.

For KONUX, data is seen as a strategic asset, not a by-product, as data is not something we collect after the fact, it is part of our strategy. An exponentially growing dataset enables everything from decision support, insights to long-term infrastructure planning, strengthening our ability to support rail well beyond individual assets.

Our dataset has become:

  • a differentiator: unique in size, depth, and diversity
  • a strategic resource: powering AI models that improve with every new deployment and innovation
  • a trust signal: demonstrating long-term partnerships across Europe and beyond
  • a foundation for scale: enabling solutions that work consistently across networks and geographies

This significant step reinforces that KONUX is building a durable advantage that compounds over time.

“Reaching 500 million train traces is a clear sign of how far the industry has come and how far we can go together. The scale of this data helps us support our partners with the intelligence they need to plan, operate, and maintain their networks with greater confidence. It strengthens the foundation for the kind of resilient, high-performing rail infrastructure society depends on.” Shlomi Hagai, CEO

A signal of trust and a responsibility

As the industry moves toward more resilient, data-driven infrastructure, moments like this take on wider meaning. They show that rail is no longer adopting digital technologies at the margins, it is shifting towards AI-enabled management and data backed decision making. Behind every trace lies a train that moved safely across a network, an asset that carried thousands of passengers or tonnes of freight, and a team responsible for keeping it operational.

Collecting 500 million traces is a privilege, one we do not take lightly. It reflects the trust placed in KONUX by infrastructure managers, engineers, and decision-makers who expect reliability, transparency, and real impact. It is also a reminder that our role goes beyond delivering technology – we are helping transform how rail infrastructure is managed for the next generation.

This is only the beginning

KONUX was founded on a belief that rail – one of the most essential and sustainable transport modes – deserves the best intelligence available. Reaching 500 million train traces reinforces our commitment to this transformation and strengthens the foundation for the work ahead. Our progress with data aligns with our direction and that of the broader industry: a move toward more intelligent, predictive, and sustainable rail networks.

For our teams, partners, investors, and supporters, this announcement is also a marker of what we can achieve together. As the dataset grows, so does our capability, our responsibility, and our impact.
