CoreTecTM 4, the TXpertTM Hub for power transformers

enabling transformer digitalization and monitoring

Transformers are critical assets in electrical

networks. Maximizing their use requires
increasing power throughput and reducing
aging. CoreTecTM 4, is the TXpertTM Hub,
the cornerstone of our manufacturer-
agnostic TXpertTM Ecosystem. It enables
the end-user to get actionable intelligence
that delivers Return On Investment (ROI) by
increasing operational value, reducing risk
and cost thus making power more reliable,
accessible and affordable for all.
