Talos provides predictive maintenance solutions for critical power generation equipment, using a combination of fixed sensors and handheld AR‑enabled scanners to capture vibration, EMF, temperature, and humidity data. Their FieldSense software aggregates positioned field samples into 3D maps and spectral analyses, enabling operators to identify faults before they cause costly transformer replacements or extended downtime. The system supports both continuous monitoring and on‑demand scans for comprehensive equipment health records.

Problem
Critical power generation equipment such as transformers is expensive to replace and often exceeds its intended service life, leading to long replacement lead times and costly unplanned outages. Operators typically rely on reactive maintenance, which only alerts them after a failure has begun, increasing downtime and repair expenses.
Solution
Talos offers a predictive maintenance platform that combines handheld AR‑enabled scanners (Talos Scout) and fixed vibration sensors (Talos Vibe) to continuously capture electromagnetic, temperature, humidity, and vibration data from generation assets. The collected data are processed by the FieldSense software, which generates spatially referenced 3D maps, frequency spectra, and health diagnostics for each piece of equipment. By visualizing condition metrics in a unified view, operators can identify emerging faults, prioritize interventions, and schedule replacements before catastrophic failure. The system requires only non‑invasive sensor installation and leverages phone‑tracked positioning for accurate field surveys, enabling a shift from reactive to proactive asset management while reducing unnecessary transformer replacements and shortening lead times.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators and maintenance teams of large‑scale power generation facilities who manage high‑value assets such as transformers, condensate pumps, and other critical equipment.
