Available through ONYX Cortex’s OPTIMISE app, CBPM combines a turbine’s own condition, performance and history with the industry’s deepest reliability data lake and your own operating constraints, so every decision is made with the full picture, not a fleet average. Enabling owner-operators to unlock additional revenue, for example, recovering 2 to 20% of revenue potential on turbines with a known issue, without increasing the risk of catastrophic failure.
Meet ONYX Cortex
Your fleet's second brain
Tailored intelligence that connects condition, performance, and operating decisions across your growing, complex fleet.
The real problem
More turbines. More complexity. More at stake.
- Turbine blind spots
Limited coverage lets issues like blade damage build unseen until they’re already costly. - Fragmented work streams
Monitoring, site and field teams work in separate tools, with no shared source of truth. - Reactive decisions with no revenue link
Extend, de-rate and repower calls run to millions, but tying them to ROI is challenging. - Generic black-box AI
Fleet-scale AI needs security, explainability and trust. Get it wrong, and the impact is massive.

Connect every decision to revenue
ROI
ONYX Cortex delivers impressive returns for large wind fleet operators
Your operating costs are cut by reducing false alarms and manual workload.
It protects your revenue by preventing catastrophic wind turbine failures before they happen and extends your asset value through condition-led lifecycle decisions.
Physics-informed AI
Trust built on engineering truth
The rest of the market can tell you something changed, not what failed, why, or what to do. Statistical models flag an anomaly, generic AI reads every asset the same.
ONYX Cortex is physics-informed and individualised, with every recommendation grounded in engineering models trained on 50,000 documented wind failures and shown against your asset’s own history. Trust it because every call comes with reasoning your engineers can audit.

Common questions
Need to know more about ONYX Cortex?
What is ONYX Cortex?
ONYX Cortex brings condition monitoring, case management, inspection and performance optimisation into one platform, so every alarm is grounded in engineering truth and connects straight through to action.
Will ONYX Cortex work with our existing CMS, SCADA and other data sources?
Yes. ONYX Cortex is hardware and source agnostic, connecting to 18+ CMS systems alongside SCADA, oil and maintenance data, so everything sits on one data model instead of in separate tools.
How does ONYX Cortex use AI?
Physics-informed AI is available to support every alarm and asset decision rather than replacing engineering judgement. That’s why every call in ONYX Cortex is explainable and auditable, not a black-box score you have to take on trust.
Does ONYX Cortex support MCP (Model Context Protocol), so I can connect it to an AI assistant or LLM?
Yes. ONYX Cortex includes the option for a MCP connector that exposes your alarms, cases, faults, activities and time series data to your own AI tooling, so you can ask plain-language questions and get answers, tables and charts back.
Can ONYX Cortex help me plan maintenance around real-world constraints?
Yes. Instead of working to a fixed calendar, ONYX Cortex lets you weigh maintenance scenarios against the constraints that matter to you, budget, crew availability, weather windows and revenue at risk, so you can choose the plan that actually fits, not just the earliest slot.
What wind turbine components can ONYX Cortex monitor, manage, inspect and optimise?
ONYX Cortex is the industry first whole turbine condition monitoring platform with its fleetMONITOR app, including gearboxes, main bearings, blade roots, blade structures, pitch bearings, towers and foundations.
Can ONYX Cortex support decisions on life extension or repowering?
Yes, and component-level remaining useful life is central to it. ONYX Cortex tracks RUL, fix history and maintenance planning down to individual components, so extend, de-rate and repower calls are backed by evidence specific to your fleet, not industry averages.
What is condition-based performance management (CBPM)?
