ANNEA provides the next generation of condition-based predictive maintenance and underperformance detection for renewable energy assets. It enables automated drive train vibration analysis, based on cutting edge artificial intelligence, physical modelling, and normal behaviour modelling. Operators receive notifications about future failures up to 365 days in advance, containing detailed information on which component has a problem, the root cause of the problem, and the best time window for repair. Besides, ANNEA detects underperformance of renewable assets and helps to maximise energy production. We optimise operations and maintenance across renewable energy sectors, reducing unplanned downtime and lost profit significantly, making green energy more affordable. Lets accelerate the energy transition together!

SnoFox Sciences provides analytics focused on increasing efficiency and decreasing energy usage for the cold industrial space with no additional hardware required. Here at SnoFox, one of our core pillars is a commitment to marrying scientific pursuit and commercial value. It is with that commitment in mind that we set out to provide the first and only thermodynamically-informed data analytics platform for cold chain monitoring and preventative maintenance. At the intersection of thermodynamics, data science, and mechanical engineering, SnoFox Sciences plans to revolutionize our collective understanding of the global cold chain.

Intensivate produces an accelerator card for scale out workloads that expands the data center by 12x in the same budget. It reduces electricity by 95%, rackspace by 97%, and purchase cost by 83%. One IntenScale PCIe card contains 24 accelerator chips, where innovations make each chip appear to software as a full fledged server, with its own file system and its own IP address. One of them boots Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu, and so on), has the standard software environment, and runs existing Java, Python, and C++ application code. We want to reduce the global electricity usage by 1% by the year 2025, through our higher energy efficiency computation.
