IRIDA and ZEPHIROS partner for 24/7 global monitoring of Bird Protect systems
IRIDA AI Technologies and ZEPHIROS, an independent Greek operations and maintenance provider for wind farms, have signed a strategic partnership to set up a global operations framework for environmental technology in wind energy.
Under the agreement, ZEPHIROS will:
- provide 24/7/365 remote monitoring of IRIDA's Bird Protect™ systems worldwide
- deliver first-level technical support for wind energy projects in every market IRIDA serves
For wind farm operators, this means every Bird Protect™ system is watched around the clock, and issues are picked up and handled quickly, whatever the time zone. Permits often depend on the system being available, so continuous monitoring protects both wildlife and compliance.
The partnership supports IRIDA's international growth. At the time of the announcement, IRIDA had more than 400 installations of its Bird Protect™ and Forest Protect™ technologies in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Together, IRIDA and ZEPHIROS are building an operating model that raises the bar for reliability, monitoring and technical support in the wind industry.
