   Linz, Austria, June 30, 2026 – [1]Kontron, a leading global provider of
   IoT Technology, has secured a major infrastructure contract in Belgium
   through its software subsidiary Kontron AIS. The award was made as part of
   a consortium with Belgian company Cegelec Infra Technics sa./nv. The
   project covers the modernization of key control components at the Antwerp
   rail yard. The contract value for Kontron AIS is in the double-digit
   million range.

   The contract was awarded through an international tender, in which Kontron
   AIS, a specialist in industrial software solutions, prevailed as part of
   the consortium with Cegelec Infra Technics against several competing
   bidders.

   Antwerp North is the second largest marshalling yard in Europe, making it
   a key hub in European freight rail transport. Its direct connection to the
   Port of Antwerp makes it one of the most important transshipment points
   for international goods transport. The contracting authority is the
   Belgian infrastructure operator Infrabel nv.

   The project focuses on renewing the control and automation systems used
   for automated train formation. Existing systems will be replaced with a
   modern and future-ready solution that ensures long-term availability of
   spare parts. As part of the project, Kontron AIS, a member of Kontron’s
   software division, will renew the entire route and brake control systems,
   along with the control of remote-operated shunting locomotives.
   Operational safety and system availability are top priorities in this
   software development.

   The project will utilise Kontron AIS’s YardLynx software – a flexible,
   modular control solution designed to meet diverse requirements and
   scenarios in train formation yards. The modernization includes subsystems
   B2 and C2, with a total of 96 classification tracks. The project is
   scheduled for completion by the end of 2028.

   Michael Jacob, Managing Director of Kontron AIS, which part of Kontron’s
   software division, explains: “The Antwerp contract is a milestone for our
   company. It shows that we can compete internationally with our complete
   software offering and that we are recognized as a reliable technology
   partner for complex infrastructure projects.”

   With this project, Kontron AIS is continuing to expand its software
   business in the international railway infrastructure market. For Kontron
   AG, the contract confirms the growing importance of secure and reliably
   operable digitalization solutions in the field of public transportation
   systems.
