UNDERSTAND THE ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Move beyond identifying damage with engineering-led root cause analysis that helps you uncover why issues happen, how they develop and how to prevent them.
Support better decisions, reduce repeat failures and improve long-term wind farm performance.
Fixing the issue is not the same as solving the cause
Damage is identified through inspection. Repairs are carried out. But over time, the same issues begin to reappear across assets.
Without understanding why damage occurs and how it develops, teams are left making reactive decisions, addressing symptoms rather than the underlying cause.
With the right insight, you move from reactive maintenance to a more informed, preventative approach, identifying root causes, reducing repeat failures and supporting more reliable long-term performance.
Engineering-led investigation into damage behaviour
Ilosta combines inspection data with engineering analysis to deliver structured, evidence-based root cause analysis.
By assessing damage behaviour and applying principles of crack propagation, we identify how and why issues develop under real operating conditions.
This enables a deeper understanding of failure mechanisms, helping teams move beyond reactive maintenance to proactive, preventative strategies.
Three layers of insight, one integrated analysis
We don’t review damage in isolation. We assess how it behaves.
How Ilosta's root cause analysis works
Instead of reviewing damage in isolation, we help you see how issues develop and what drives them.
An evidence-based process, grounded in structural engineering.
We ingest your existing inspection data – images, NDT scans, SCADA, reports – regardless of format or source. No site visits required to begin.
Our physics-based platform models the structural behaviour of your asset, identifying how and why specific damage has developed under real loading conditions.
We determine the underlying failure mechanism, whether fatigue, environmental loading, design sensitivity, or a combination of the two. With evidence, not estimation.
Findings are delivered in a clear engineering report with targeted intervention recommendations, ready to inform your maintenance planning and future inspection strategy.
Root cause analysis identifies the underlying reasons why damage occurs, helping move beyond symptoms to understand failure mechanisms and prevent recurrence.
Crack propagation describes how damage grows over time. Understanding this helps assess risk, predict failure and plan more effective interventions.
By understanding why issues occur and how they develop, Ilosta supports more accurate wind farm performance analysis, improving reliability and reducing repeat failures.
Yes. By identifying and addressing root causes, Ilosta helps reduce recurring issues and supports more effective long-term maintenance strategies.
Ilosta helps wind farm operators move from reactive maintenance to engineering-led prevention.
