This strategic partnership introduces an AI-based condition monitoring solution that promises to transform wind farm operations worldwide.
To redefine wind turbine maintenance, NKE FERSA, the Austrian-based premium bearing manufacturer, and Nanoprecise, the Canadian predictive maintenance specialist, are launching their new and innovative Condition Monitoring System for wind turbines.
“Our partnership with Nanoprecise represents a fusion of NKE FERSA’s deep understanding of wind applications and Nanoprecise’s innovative maintenance solution,” stated FERSA’s CEO, Rafael Paniagua. “This collaboration allows us to offer wind farm operators a comprehensive solution that not only detects potential issues before they impact energy production but also significantly extends the lifespan of the equipment,” added Paniagua.
An unprecedented technological breakthrough
The NKE Condition Monitoring System, equipped with Nanoprecise’s cutting-edge technology, combines a groundbreaking 6-in-1 wireless sensor with an advanced AI-driven cloud-based platform. This revolutionary system continuously monitors critical functioning parameters in wind turbines, such as vibration, temperature, humidity, acoustic emission, speed, and magnetic flux, providing broad and precise insights into the application’s performance.
AI-based predictive maintenance
At the heart of the system lies Nanoprecise’s patented energy-centric condition monitoring solution, which is composed of a gen-AI powered platform and an edge AI-equipped 6-in-1 sensor. Combined with NKE FERSA’s expertise, the solution delivers predictive maintenance information tailored to the needs of wind farm operators.
“Bearing faults are responsible for the majority of wind turbine’s planetary gearbox downtime. With our patented wavelet neural network enabled algorithms, we are able to diagnose faults on individual components in a gearbox,” stated Sunil Vedula, Founder and CEO of Nanoprecise.
“This means we aren’t just monitoring the health of the turbines, but providing actionable insights that can dramatically reduce downtime, increasing the availability of wind turbines, and making green energy more affordable,” he added.
Transforming wind farm operations
The NKE Condition Monitoring System promises to deliver rapid ROI for wind farm operators through:
- Comprehensive monitoring of wind turbine drivetrain applications
- Advanced predictive maintenance capabilities
- Quick and easy installation process
- Improved turbine performance and reduced downtime
- Extended equipment lifespan
Global impact and availability
Initially focusing on North American and European markets, NKE FERSA and Nanoprecise have plans for global expansion. The system will soon be available for wind farm operators worldwide, backed by comprehensive technical support that combines application knowledge, tribology, and vibration analysis expertise.
“This launch represents a significant step forward in wind turbine maintenance and efficiency,” added Hugo Santos, Chief Business Development Officer of FERSA. “We’re not just offering a product; we’re providing a solution that will contribute substantially to the growth and optimization of the renewal energy sector.”

About Fersa
Fersa is a Spanish multinational based in Zaragoza, Spain, specializing in the design, manufacture and distribution of mobility solutions, high performance bearings and electromechanical components for the OEM & T1 and Aftermarket sectors of automotive, industrial and energy applications. With its brands FERSA, NKE FERSA and PFI FERSA, the company is present on five continents, with a global workforce of more than 850 employees and a global structure that includes 6 state-of-the-art production centers, 19 distribution centers and 4 international R&D centers, to support and service customers in more than 100 countries.
Nanoprecise Sci Corp is excited to announce the expansion of their Energy Centered Predictive Maintenance (ECM) operations into Europe and Africa. This expansion addresses the significant shift towards corporate sustainability within these regions, aligning with growing demands for technological solutions that enhance both environmental stewardship and operational reliability.
Motor-driven machinery accounts for 65% of the world’s electricity consumption, with poorly maintained equipment using up to 30% of this energy, inefficiently. By improving visibility into the energy utilization of equipment, Nanoprecise’s ECM solution allows organizations to use energy consumption to prioritize preventative maintenance. This approach helps drive down energy consumption and carbon emissions, while ensuring production uptime and asset reliability.
One of the big additions to their expansion into the region is the appointment of Kalyan Meduri as Head of Sales for Europe and Africa. Kalyan has over 18 years of global experience in incubating new technologies, scaling new businesses and motivating teams to solve customer problems differently. With experience across India, France and Denmark, he is passionate about creating a positive impact through technology and collaboration to present the next generation with a sustainable future. “The substantial shift towards sustainability in Europe makes it a prime market for our ECM solution,” remarked Kalyan Meduri. “By integrating our state-of-the-art predictive maintenance solutions with strategic energy management, we are helping businesses meet their sustainability goals while improving operational efficiency. It’s a win for them and for the planet!”
Nanoprecise has become a preferred ESG solution provider for industrial organizations globally, and now for European organizations that want to accelerate their journey to reduce emissions and increase uptime, without further capital expenditures. Plus, with the recent announcement of their money-back guarantee, enterprises can make a risk-free, ROI guaranteed shift to energy-centric predictive maintenance.
Join Kalyan and the Nanoprecise team at Hannover Messe in Hall 7, Booth #D28 and explore the capabilities and benefits of ECM.
