Smart IIoT & AI for Resilient Rail Infrastructure

Zühlke acts as a global transformation partner, bridging the gap between physical rail assets and digital intelligence. We specialize in developing high-precision, connected solutions that thrive in harsh environments.

Key Project Highlight: KONUX – Rail-to-Cloud IIoT Solution Zühlke partnered with KONUX to develop a field data acquisition device that serves as the foundation for AI-driven analytics:

• Robust Hardware Engineering: We developed the electronics and embedded software for sensors capable of operating autonomously for years under extreme conditions on the track.

• Edge Computing & Low-Power Design: To ensure long life spans, we implemented a system that wakes shortly before a train arrives and processes data internally before cloud dispatch.

• Agile Industrialisation: Using a "One Team" Scrum approach, we handled test automation and industrialisation, ensuring a rapid time-to-market without compromising on total reliability.

• Sustainable Know-how Transfer: At project completion, development expertise was transferred to the client to enable independent further development.

• Technical Excellence: Our interdisciplinary teams utilize C++, real-time embedded software, and automated testing (CI/CD) to deliver smart, connected solutions for critical infrastructure.
