Munich-based industrial IoT startup KONUX has just announced a significant milestone, securing $9 million in Series A funding led by NEA. This marks the final round of their Series A, bringing the total raised to $16 million. Previous investors include MIG, Upbeat Ventures, Andy Bechtolsheim, Michael Baum, UnternehmerTUM, Warren Weiss, and Lothar Stein. Since its founding in 2014, KONUX has now raised a total of $18 million, making it one of the few German startups to attract attention from Silicon Valley investors.
The new funds will be used to accelerate product development and expand further into the European market. With 35 employees, KONUX is focused on delivering real-time asset management through intelligent sensor systems powered by AI analytics. Their end-to-end solutions help customers monitor industrial infrastructure continuously, identify maintenance needs before they become critical, and improve overall operational efficiency.
KONUX offers six core products: Switch Monitoring, Asset Monitoring, Vehicle Monitoring, Anomaly Detection, Predictive Analysis, and Hardware Customization. Each solution is designed to enhance performance and reduce downtime across various industrial applications.
Switch Monitoring helps railway operators track the condition of switches, which are a major cause of train delays. Asset Monitoring predicts maintenance needs by tracking the status of equipment, minimizing downtime-related losses. Vehicle Monitoring ensures locomotives operate efficiently by collecting and analyzing data from entire fleets.
Anomaly Detection identifies unusual conditions in real time, while Predictive Analysis integrates data from multiple sources for better insights. Hardware Customization allows users to tailor dashboards according to their specific needs.
In addition to the funding, KONUX has welcomed Dr. Greg Papadopoulos, co-founder of NEA and former CTO of Sun Microsystems, to its board. He praised KONUX’s AI-driven approach, stating it could revolutionize how industries manage and maintain their assets. Torsten Kreindl, a partner at Torstat Ventures and former Swisscom board member, also highlighted the potential of predictive analysis in the digital age.
KONUX has already made notable progress, including a major contract with Deutsche Bahn, Europe's largest rail operator. The company is now expanding further across Europe and has recently provided predictive analytics solutions for the German Mobility Price and the Digital Price "Spark Award." With a strong team of AI experts and a solid product lineup, KONUX is well-positioned for continued growth and innovation in the industrial IoT space.
