What Ofil does

Ofil Systems Ltd., founded in 1993 and headquartered in Ness Ziona, Israel, designs and manufactures solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) imaging systems for the detection of corona partial discharges in high-voltage electrical assets. Its core technology, branded DayCor® and protected by European patent EP1112459B1, enables real-time, full-daylight corona detection — a capability that distinguishes the company from legacy nighttime-only UV inspection methods. The product portfolio spans three hardware form factors: handheld cameras (DayCor UVollé and DayCor Luminar HD, with sensitivity certified at 1pC @ 15m by Eurotest), UAV-mounted inspection cameras (DayCor micROM HD, with official integration kits for DJI M300/M350 and RtRobotics HERA platforms), and OEM camera cores (DayCor UV Eye, UV Eyelite, UV EyeScope) with IP65 protection and API access for embedding into robotics and monitoring systems. A multispectral helicopter-mounted airborne system extends the portfolio to large-scale aerial transmission and distribution inspection.

Complementing the hardware, the Gridnostic AI-powered diagnostic software platform applies computer vision and anomaly detection across UV, RGB, and thermal sensor inputs to produce EPRI-aligned numeric severity scores within a GIS-mapped asset health context. The platform is offered as recurring SaaS, representing the company's principal move from pure hardware sales into higher-velocity software revenue. Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware unit sales (the dominant stream), Gridnostic SaaS subscriptions, CITI (Corona Inspection Training Institute) certification courses covering electrical utilities and rotating machines, and OEM licensing/royalties from camera core integration. Pricing is quote-based for enterprise customers, distributed via a global field sales organization with regional directors covering West US, East US & Canada, Europe, APAC, and LATAM, supplemented by channel partners and major industry events (DistribuTech, IEEE PES T&D, CWIEME Berlin, Elecrama, INMR Latin America).

Ofil serves a vertical-segmented customer base led by electrical utilities (generation, transmission, distribution, renewable energy) and rotating machine manufacturers and service providers (ABB, ENGIE Laborelec, KINECTRICS as named enterprise references), with secondary penetration into data centers, mining and heavy industry, MV/HV component manufacturers, railways, and aerospace & defense (particularly electric aircraft motors). The company states hundreds of customers worldwide and operates with leadership including CEO Giora Levi, CFO/Deputy CEO Ruth Miness, CTO Eran Frisch, and a team of VPs covering global sales, product, business development, marketing, HR, and operations. Strategic technology integrations include EPRI (co-development), Scopito (drone data management), DJI and RtRobotics (UAV platforms), alongside memberships in NRECA, CIGRE, IEEE, and EDA industry associations.
