About Talos

At Talos, we are building better, more modern predictive maintenance for the power industry with a focus on large transformers. Our devices continuously monitor critical power equipment and detect problems early on using anomaly-detection models. For each fault, we provide detailed analyses of the problem, exactly where and why it happened, as well as next steps teams should take.
