This is the progress powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy podcast. I'm your host, Allen Hall, along with my co host, Joel Saxum. And today we're diving into a critical challenge facing wind farm operators, predicting component failures and optimizing maintenance schedules. Imagine if wind farm operators could instantly gauge the cost impact of their decisions And automatically assign a dollar value to the risk. It sounds like science fiction, but it's actually becoming a reality through innovative approaches to remaining useful life assessments and automated risk detection. In today's episode, we'll explore how these technologies are revolutionizing wind turbine maintenance. Helping operators reduce downtime, cut costs, and extend the lifespan of their assets. We'll learn how advanced analytics and artificial intelligence are enabling more precise predictions and smarter decision making in a WinFarm world. Our guest is Allan Larson, the VP of CMS products at SkySpecs. In his role, Allan leads all aspects of product development for the Horizon CMS platform, which is crucial for wind turbine drivetrain monitoring and diagnostics. As part of SkySpecs product team, Allan manages the product roadmap, conducts market research, and oversees the development and launch of new features. His expertise is key. In condition monitoring systems and AI based fault detection for wind turbines makes him a key player in shaping innovative solutions for the wind industry. Allan welcome to the show. Allan Larson: Thank you. Allen Hall: That was pretty good, wasn't it? That was a pretty good intro. I feel pretty good about myself now. Play it when you go home from the show here, yeah. That's the rap, people. Uh, so, you're a drivetrain specialist. CMS drive space. Allan Larson: Yes. Specialist. These days, that's what I've become. Yes. Allen Hall: Yeah. And that is, uh,
