eologix sensor technology gmbh is a technology based company located in Graz, Austria. eologix is developing and producing innovative, retrofittable sensor solutions for smart surfaces.
Multiple autonomous, thin and flexible sensors for precise ice detection and temperature measurement on rotor blades increase energy yield of wind turbines. This allows for safe and optimal operation (i.e. minimised downtimes) of turbines in areas at risk of icing. By end of 2018, more than 150 sensor systems on 21 different wind turbine types are in use all over the world. Patented and certified by DNV-GL, the unique eologix sensors are mounted directly to the surface of the rotor blades. They are easily applied during production, construction or retrofit of any turbine old or new. Turbines with de-icing or anti-icing equipment benefit from exact surface temperature measurements allowing for pre-emptive control and optimisation of these systems. Further solutions for blade and power train condition monitoring are currently being introduced into the market. In March 2016, the Phoenix Contact Group joined eologix as both a shareholder and a strategic partner.
