EOLOGIX SENSOR TECHNOLOGY GMBH

Their core work

Eologix develops wireless sensor systems for real-time monitoring of wind turbine blades, enabling predictive maintenance and condition-based monitoring without cabling or blade modifications. Their core product detects ice formation, structural damage, and performance degradation on rotating blades. More recently, they have expanded into printed energy harvesting technologies, working on self-powered sensor systems that combine piezoelectric materials with polymer batteries to eliminate the need for external power sources.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Eologix followed a classic SME growth trajectory in H2020: they began in 2018 with a small feasibility study (SME-1) for their wireless wind turbine sensor concept, then scaled up in 2019 with a full SME-2 project worth over EUR 1.1M to commercialize the technology. By 2020, they pivoted toward a broader technological base by joining SYMPHONY, a multi-partner research project on energy harvesting and printed electronics — suggesting they are working to make their sensors fully self-powered and maintenance-free.

Eologix is moving from application-specific wind sensors toward self-powered, printed sensor platforms that could serve multiple industrial monitoring applications beyond wind energy.

How they like to work

Eologix predominantly leads its own projects — two of three H2020 projects were self-coordinated through the SME Instrument, which is typical for product-focused startups proving and scaling their own technology. Their participation in SYMPHONY (a larger RIA with 13 consortium partners across 4 countries) shows they can also integrate into collaborative research consortia when the topic extends their technology base. They are a focused technology provider rather than a networking hub.

Eologix has worked with 13 distinct partners across 4 European countries. Their network is modest in size but spans the SME-to-research spectrum, built primarily through the SYMPHONY consortium rather than repeated bilateral partnerships.

What sets them apart

Eologix sits at the intersection of IoT sensor hardware and wind energy operations — a niche where few SMEs operate with their own product. Their wireless, blade-mounted approach eliminates the cabling that makes competing monitoring systems expensive and difficult to retrofit. The recent move into energy harvesting and printed electronics suggests they are building toward fully autonomous sensors, which would be a strong differentiator for any consortium working on remote or hard-to-access industrial monitoring.
