Introduction

KONUX Switch is a predictive and prescriptive maintenance solution built for the most failure-prone and costly assets in rail infrastructure.

By combining IloT devices, AI, and deep rail expertise, it enables early failure detection, precise diagnostics, and data-driven planning. The result: fewer disruptions, lower OPEX, and longer asset life.

What It Does

KONUX Switch continuously analyzes the condition of your most critical components, trackbed, frog (crossing), and point machine, providing early alerts and actionable recommendations.

Detect anomalies before they escalate
Optimize inspection and maintenance schedules
Track the effectiveness of maintenance actions
Extend component life through smarter planning

Use Cases

Maintenance Decision Support & Quality Assessment

Provides data-driven maintenance recommendations to guide optimal timing and method selection, helping prioritise the most effective interventions. Evaluates the impact of tamping, grinding, or welding by comparing pre- and post-maintenance health states. Helps identify ineffective processes and the root causes of recurring inefficient maintenance activities.

Frog Health Monitoring

Monitors acceleration and displacement in the crossing area. Detects early degradation, predicts remaining useful life, and helps extend asset lifetimes.

Watch video

Trackbed Health Monitoring

Continuously measures vertical displacement under train load. Detects voiding and settlement early, enabling targeted tamping and avoiding adjacent component damage.

Watch video

Point Machine & Locking Health Monitoring

Combines electric current, pressure, vibration, and weather data to track mechanical wear and control system performance of point operating equipment. Identifies root causes and supports timely interventions.

Features

Smart Alerts

Context-aware alarms and warnings triggered by meaningful changes in signal data. Alerts are corrected for weather, temperature, and train speed to reduce false positives.

Wheel Trajectory Reconstruction (WTR)

Al-powered reconstruction of the wheel path through the frog area, identifying dip angles, impact forces, and early-stage geometry defects.

Learn more

Asset Prioritisation

Aggregated reliability scores representing the health of the asset across frog, point machine, and trackbed, supporting consistent triage and fleet-wide asset prioritisation.
