Aurtra is transforming power asset management through online monitoring and analytics. Aurtra will enable power companies to monitor assets in real time to optimise usage, minimise network down time and extend transformer lifetime.

Aurtra’s solutions are low cost, light touch, secure and interoperate with existing tools to extend asset life through improved risk management and optimisation of transformer loading, maintenance and replacement. The Aurtra Insight Dashboard provides a fleet-wide view of individual transformer insulation risk, with configurable real time alerts of unexpected status changes, and graphical short and long term trends. Aurtra’s solutions will be targeting the power systems monitoring market which is conservatively estimated to be worth well over $1 billion annually.
