From data to operating decisions

CRAXIA builds the digital twin of your turbines and pumps: operations optimization and predictive maintenance, grounded in the real electricity market.

01Context

You can see the price. Not the wear.

Every operating hour carries two costs: the one that shows up on the bill and the one that builds up inside the machine. Only one of them is visible when the decision has to be made.

  1. 01

    Machines pushed harder than ever

    Hydro and pumping fleets were designed to run steadily. Today they start and stop chasing a price that changes every hour, and every start consumes service life.

  2. 02

    Half the equation in view

    The market price is on screen; what that hour costs the machine is not. You operate when it looks profitable, without knowing whether the margin covers the damage done.

  3. 03

    Maintenance by calendar, not by reality

    Intervening early spends components that still had life left; intervening late means breakdown, downtime and lost revenue. Without knowing the real condition, neither option is the right one.

The right decision exists every hour. It just has to be calculable.

Digital twins for turbines and pumps

Smart Hydro

Turbines

The digital twin of your hydropower plant

CRAXIA turns your plant's data — sensors, electricity market, weather — into day-to-day operating and maintenance decisions.

Optimizer

Computes the optimal generation and reserve power for each turbine, hour by hour, for the day ahead.

  • Maximizes plant profit and turbine service life
  • Projects operating cost and profit 15 days ahead
  • Sets aside reserve capacity for grid balancing services

Virtual Maintenance

Computes failure risk and remaining useful life for the turbine and its components, 15 days in advance.

  • Daily failure risk cost, per turbine and per component
  • Remaining useful life of every critical component
  • Alerts with the recommended day for maintenance and part replacement

Smart Watering

Pumps

The digital twin of your pumping system

From well to crop: CRAXIA decides when to pump and when to service each pump, combining the electricity market, available water and the actual condition of your equipment.

Optimizer

Computes the optimal state — on or off — for each pump, hour by hour, for the day ahead.

  • Minimizes power use, water use and maintenance cost
  • Maximizes pump service life and crop productivity
  • Projects operating cost and profit per hectare 15 days ahead

Virtual Maintenance

Computes failure risk and remaining useful life for each pump, 15 days in advance.

  • Daily failure risk cost, per pump
  • Remaining useful life of each unit
  • Alerts with the recommended day for maintenance and part replacement

One engine, two applications

Turbines and pumps share the same brain: a model that combines the actual condition of each machine with energy prices, water value and the weather to decide when to operate and when to intervene — before cost, wear or failure make the decision for you.

System inputs

  • Equipment condition monitoring (sensors)
  • Electricity market prices and water value
  • Solar generation forecast
  • Weather forecast
  • Battery capacity
  • Crop type and irrigation needs pumps only

03Differentiators

Why CRAXIA

Vendor-neutral

Works with the machines you already have, whatever the brand.

Cost, not just alerts

Every recommendation comes with its economic impact: what acting costs — and what doing nothing costs.

Real-time market

Connected to actual electricity and water prices to pick the best moment to operate.

Decision support, not blind automation

You have the final say; we give you everything you need to make the right call.

Real field experience

Behind every model there are engineers and researchers who have worked with these machines for years.

04Who we are

Engineering first, software second

CRAXIA was born from bringing together doctoral researchers in turbomachinery optimization and engineers with decades of experience building software for the energy sector. We know the machines, the data and the market — because we have spent years working with all three.

Applied research

PhDs specialized in the optimization and modelling of hydraulic turbines and pumps.

[PLACEHOLDER: university/research group and years — pending review]

Decades in the energy sector

Experience building energy data management systems, telemetering and industrial protocols for companies in the sector.

[PLACEHOLDER: specific years and references — pending review]

From the field, not the lab

We work with real installations, equipment and data; our solutions come from concrete operating problems, not from theory.
