At no time in history has it been more important for our energy infrastructure to be cost effective, climate conscious and attractive to investors. Our future depends on it.
Ilosta is a small fast-moving start-up specialising in health monitoring for engineering structures, specifically Wind Turbine Generators.
Our product is a (SaaS orientated) engineering technology platform – Crack Map - underpinned by innovative physics-based algorithms and a high degree of process automation.
* Crack Map interrogates a very wide variety of operational or inspection data, reverse engineering gaps or omissions en route, to provide customers with a fast and accurate assessment of structural integrity linked to asset performance (Annual Energy Production).
* As a tool it facilitates management and analysis of third-party data, assessment and optimisation of remaining usable component life, root cause analysis and repair or maintenance planning – extending structural lifespan whilst minimising the costs and risks associated with human inspection.
