We are pleased to announce KONUX’s expansion into Australia and New Zealand through a new partnership with Salix, a leading rail infrastructure supplier in the region. This marks a key step in our international growth and brings our AI-based asset management technology to two of the most dynamic rail networks in the Southern Hemisphere. Salix will serve as KONUX’s exclusive market development partner across both countries, leading local rollout as well as customer engagement.

Australia and New Zealand are home to more than 40,000 kilometres of active rail lines, supporting metro and light rail systems, heavy haul corridors, regional freight, and long-distance passenger routes. Rail plays a critical role in economic development and decarbonisation efforts across both countries. At the same time, infrastructure managers across both markets face growing expectations for availability and resilience. Meeting these demands requires tools that can enable smarter, data-driven decision-making. KONUX helps address this need. Our AI-powered asset management platform delivers predictive monitoring for switches and crossings, helping operators improve availability, reduce manual inspections, and extend asset life. By entering the ANZ market, we are delivering a proven solution to networks ready for digital transformation.

Why Salix?

Salix is the leading supplier of switches and crossings (S&C) in New Zealand and a long-term, trusted partner for rail operators across Australia. With a significant share of the Australian S&C market and deep relationships in both countries, they bring the commercial reach and customer alignment needed to drive KONUX’s market expansion. Their exclusive focus on our solution, together with their strong local presence, ensures we can deliver at scale with immediate credibility.

What makes Salix an ideal partner goes beyond market access. Their domain expertise in S&C systems adds real value when paired with our AI platform, enabling deeper insights into asset performance and degradation. Salix will lead sales, pilot delivery and full-scale implementations, bringing their hands-on, engaged approach to every stage. This partnership also supports their own evolution into digital rail solutions, making it a strong strategic fit on both sides.

Delivering Smarter Rail Together

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping infrastructure managers make better decisions about the assets they rely on every day. With Salix’s local support and KONUX’s proven AI platform, we are well positioned to help rail operators in Australia and New Zealand enhance reliability, reduce cost and make the most of their long-term infrastructure investments.

The future of rail depends on better data and smarter decisions. That is the vision we are bringing to Australia and New Zealand.
