NETANYA, Israel, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BiomX Inc. (NYSE American: PHGE) (“BiomX” or the “Company”), announced today following its April 16, 2026 announcement that its wholly-owned subsidiary Zorronet has commenced supply and installation of its AI and ML-powered detection and command-and-control systems on sections of the Israel Railways network, in accordance with the framework supply agreement, focused on protecting wildlife and safeguarding national infrastructure.

Zorronet provides and installs AI, ML and business intelligence-enabled alert stations capable of detecting and deterring animals and humans, including ongoing maintenance and 24/7 service center operations. The initial phase covers 4 segments, with additional segments expected to be implemented.

The system, which combines different feed sources and AI, detects the approach of humans and animals near the tracks, assesses risk levels and behavioral patterns, and triggers alerts and automated responses based on such behavior and species. It was adapted to Israel Railways’ operational requirements in collaboration with its innovation division, including approximate predictive analysis and operations.

This week, Israel Railways opened a new eastern line, further expanding the national rail network and creating additional potential opportunities for future deployment and deeper collaboration between the companies.

“We are pleased to advance to the operational phase with Israel Railways,” said Idan Wasserman, CEO of Zorronet. “Over the past year we successfully completed a large-scale pilot, achieving a 98% success rate in keeping large animals off the railway tracks and 0 related collisions during that period. We are now moving forward with installation and operation and look forward to strengthening cooperation as Israel Railways continues to develop its infrastructure, including with new human-related risks.”
