Ping Services

What Ping Services does

Ping Services, operating under the merged brand EOLOGIX-PING alongside Austria's EOLOGIX, builds continuous acoustic monitoring systems for wind turbine blades, centered on two proprietary hardware platforms: an ON-TOWER sensor system that monitors blade health from the turbine tower without requiring blade-mounted equipment, and an ON-BLADE sensor system for direct surface and structural condition monitoring. The company's software layer processes time-series sensor data to detect surface damage, structural damage, lightning strikes, and rotor icing, and exposes results via a dashboard or OEM-agnostic API. Its ice-detection capability was independently rated by the VGB Research Foundation in 2021 as the most sensitive among four systems tested on the same turbine, and a case study with Verbund at the Ellern site demonstrated up to 50% reduction in icing-related downtime. The product portfolio is sold as discrete modules (Blade Damage Monitoring, Lightning Monitoring with :EVENT LIGHTNING, Ice Detection, Precision Blade Heating, Noise Detection) complemented by Service Subscriptions for year-round support.

The business operates a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting wind turbine operators, utilities, OEMs, and renewable-energy investors, with named customers including Vattenfall, Ørsted, EDF Renewables, Verbund, Enercon, Eurus Energy, Tucson Electric Power, Deriva Energy, Energie Steiermark, and Cubico Sustainable Investments across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Revenue is generated through a mix of sensor hardware sales and recurring software monitoring subscriptions plus service subscriptions, with quote-based pricing tailored to fleet size and use case. The company maintains dual headquarters in Graz, Austria and Melbourne, Australia, is privately held with 1-10 employees, and has raised approximately A$1.78M across four funding rounds between 2019 and 2022 from investors including Artesian VC, Sydney Angels, Access Capital Ventures, Brisbane Angels, and EnergyLab.

Revenue model

1. Sensor Hardware Sales: Sale of proprietary sensor systems (ON-TOWER and ON BLADE) for wind turbine blade monitoring. Hardware is installed on turbines and represents initial customer acquisition.
2. Software Monitoring Platform: Continuous blade monitoring via dashboard or API providing real-time insights into blade health, damage, lightning, and icing conditions.
3. Service Subscriptions: Additional services including year-round support, continuous updates, and cost efficiency. Provides comprehensive all-in-one solution with peace of mind beyond the hardware.

Core offering

Ping Services (trading as EOLOGIX-PING) designs, manufactures, and sells proprietary acoustic sensor systems (ON-TOWER and ON-BLADE) that enable continuous 24/7 monitoring of wind turbine blades for surface and structural damage, lightning strikes, icing, blade misalignment, and acoustic anomalies. The hardware is paired with a cloud-connected monitoring platform delivered via dashboard and API for enterprise wind-farm operators and OEMs, with optional service subscriptions for year-round support and continuous updates.

Product overview

EOLOGIX-PING (formed from the merger of Austria's EOLOGIX and Australia's Ping Services) offers a continuous blade monitoring system for wind turbines consisting of ON-TOWER and ON-BLADE sensor hardware paired with cloud-connected monitoring software. The product portfolio includes core Blade Damage Monitoring capabilities with Surface Damage and Structural Health Monitoring sub-features, Lightning Monitoring with :EVENT LIGHTNING for precise turbine-by-turbine detection, and Blade Operation Monitoring comprising Ice Detection, Precision Blade Heating, and Noise Detection modules. These solutions integrate via dashboard or API and are complemented by Service Subscriptions providing ongoing support. The company serves major wind operators including Vattenfall, Enercon, EDF Renewables, Ørsted, and Verbund, with easy-to-retrofit technology for both onshore and offshore wind turbines.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• ON-TOWER Sensor System Tower-mounted proprietary acoustic sensor system that enables continuous 24/7 monitoring of wind turbine blades — detecting surface and structural damage, lightning strikes, and icing conditions — without needing to install hardware on the blades themselves. Designed to retrofit onto any OEM turbine.
• ON-BLADE Sensor System Blade-mounted sensor system providing direct surface and structural health monitoring on individual wind turbine blades, feeding real-time data to the EOLOGIX-PING monitoring platform.
• Blade Damage Monitoring Continuous blade-monitoring application that identifies surface and structural damage early, enabling wind-turbine operators to take proactive maintenance actions and avoid safety risks and costly repairs.
• Lightning Monitoring (:EVENT LIGHTNING) Real-time lightning-strike detection and confirmation module that notifies wind-turbine operators during storms so they can manage repair prioritization, minimize personnel dispatch, and protect assets, with per-turbine precision via the :EVENT LIGHTNING capability.
• Ice Detection Continuous rotor-icing detection application that identifies icing events early to prevent downtime and safety risks, with VGB Research Foundation (2021) validation as the most sensitive ice-detection status among four systems compared.
• Precision Blade Heating Targeted, energy-efficient blade-heating module that enables cost-effective icing control in winter, supporting ice-detection-triggered operation to reduce power losses and extend service life.
• Noise Detection Acoustic noise-monitoring module that analyzes blade sounds to detect operational anomalies and ensure effective turbine operation.
• Service Subscriptions Subscription service tier providing year-round support, continuous platform updates, cost-efficiency guarantees, and predictability to extend the continuous blade-monitoring solution beyond the initial hardware sale.

Direct peers

• ONYX InSight: ONYX InSight specializes in condition monitoring for wind turbine drivetrains and blades, including CMS, CMS+, and predictive analytics. It is a direct peer to EOLOGIX-PING as both sell retrofit wind condition monitoring subscriptions to utility and OEM operators globally.
• Sentient Science: Sentient Science provides digital-twin-based blade life prediction and structural health monitoring for wind operators, including inline structural assessment software. Comparable to EOLOGIX-PING's structural health and surface damage monitoring modules, targeting similar utilities and IPPs.
• WindESCo: WindESCo offers AEP-focused performance analytics and operational optimization software for wind fleets. While more software/data-centric than hardware-led EOLOGIX-PING, both serve the same wind-O&M buyer with continuous-monitoring solutions that target downtime reduction.

Broad incumbents

• Brüel & Kjær (HBK): HBK (Brüel & Kjær) is a global leader in acoustic and vibration sensors and condition monitoring systems across multiple industries, including wind. Its acoustic sensing heritage overlaps directly with EOLOGIX-PING's ON-BLADE acoustic monitoring approach.
• SKF (Wind Industry solutions): SKF provides condition monitoring and lubrication solutions for wind turbines (drivetrain and main bearing focus) and operates a broad industrial portfolio. Relevant as a larger incumbent with retrofit wind monitoring offerings overlapping EOLOGIX-PING's value proposition.
• GE Vernova (Wind Condition Monitoring): GE Vernova supplies wind turbines and adjacent digital/CMS solutions as part of its broader OEM portfolio, competing indirectly with EOLOGIX-PING on customer mindshare. Its bundled condition monitoring software replaces third-party need for GE-equipped fleets.
• Vestas (Blade Intelligence): Vestas is the world's largest wind OEM and offers blade condition monitoring and service packages as part of its service business. A broad incumbent alternative to EOLOGIX-PING for fleets where Vestas is the OEM.
• Siemens Gamesa (CMS / Service portfolio): Siemens Gamesa provides condition monitoring services and digital solutions as part of its wind OEM service portfolio. Relevant as an OEM-embedded alternative to a third-party retrofit provider such as EOLOGIX-PING.
