Munich, Germany – September 2025 – KONUX, a leading provider of intelligent infrastructure solutions, and Rail Power Systems GmbH (RPS), one of Germany’s most established players in railway electrification, have entered a strategic collaboration. The partnership is focused on jointly developing and commercializing a next-generation sensor-based monitoring solution for railway infrastructure. This marks a significant step forward as KONUX expands its modular AI and data intelligence capabilities into a new and critical component of rail infrastructure: overhead line monitoring.

The collaboration combines KONUX’s expertise in predictive maintenance, AI, and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) rapid prototyping technologies with RPS’s deep technical know-how in infrastructure deployment and integration – a combination that showcases how our advanced data intelligence platform can be paired with deep domain expertise to solve complex infrastructure challenges. This partnership serves as a blueprint for future collaborations, where KONUX technology can be combined with other expert partners to drive scalable innovation. Together, the two companies aim to change the way railway operators monitor, maintain, and optimize key infrastructure components by providing continuous, real-time overhead line monitoring. The project aims to enhance asset availability and reduce the operational impact of undetected anomalies.

“This partnership brings together complementary capabilities that will unlock significant technical and operational value for rail infrastructure operators. By working with RPS, we’re able to accelerate the development of solutions that support safer, more efficient, and more resilient rail networks.”

– Johanna Leisch, COO, KONUX

Supporting the digital transformation of rail infrastructure

The collaboration reflects a shared commitment and aims to enable infrastructure managers to move from reactive to predictive strategies. The solution supports more efficient maintenance planning, reduced disruptions, and improved long-term performance.

“We are delighted to have found a partner in Konux that has extensive experience in monitoring critical infrastructure. The solution we are working on will be a perfect addition to our TracFeed® product portfolio and will bring significant added value to our customers.”

– Dr. Michael Bernhardt, CEO, Rail Power Systems GmbH

The overhead line monitoring solution under development is designed to integrate into existing rail infrastructure and operate across diverse technical environments. With a focus on scalability and interoperability, the partners aim to deliver a solution that can serve a wide range of railway operators and electrification use cases. The solution will be reinforcing a shared commitment to innovation and long-term infrastructure resilience.

This initiative marks the latest milestone in KONUX’s mission to transform rail operations with cutting-edge technologies that support smarter infrastructure management and deliver tangible benefits to the entire ecosystem.
