Ingeteam applies AI to its converters

-  This development has emerged from the company's continual efforts in R&D, which have led it to take part in BIND 4.0 as a trailblazing company.

-  Data analysis via AI algorithms can be applied to various sectors in which Ingeteam operates, including wind & solar energy, shipbuilding, drive systems, etc.


Ingeteam is to set up a project to apply AI to the converters that it manufactures. Initially, artificial intelligence will be used in the data captured by the converters that the company makes for wind turbines, but it may then be extended to other sectors of operation such as PV solar, shipbuilding, railway drive systems, etc.

This development has emerged from the company's continual efforts in R&D, which have led it to take part in BIND 4.0 as a trailblazing company. BIND 4.0 is an open public/private innovation platform for smart industry created by the Basque Government Department of Economic Development, Sustainability and the Environment through the SPRI Group and its UpEuskadi platform to promote the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Basque Country. Under the cooperation arrangements fostered by the programme, the company has selected a start-up specialising in AI applications with which to work on the project.

Data analysis via AI algorithms in converters can be used in preventive maintenance, the sizing of components, calculating operational limits, performance of equipment under given conditions, stress capacity, development over the year, performance depending on geographical location, etc.
