Castrol, Romax Technology announces JV for wind turbine maintenance solutions

Lubricant brand Castrol has announced the creation of a joint venture with Romax Technology’s InSight business, a pioneer in predictive maintenance solutions.

With over 30 years’ experience working in the wind sector, this deal will combine Castrol’s global reach and knowledge of wind turbine lubrication with Romax InSight’s expertise in predictive maintenance, software and data analytics for wind turbines, the company said.

The lubrication and maintenance of a wind turbines expensive gearbox is critical to optimising its performance and reliability. Romax InSight is a rapidly growing predictive maintenance provider, designing software and engineering services which monitor the condition of wind turbines, and predict breakdowns – potentially resulting in a saving for its customers by up to 30 per cent in maintenance costs.
