The lab results you have. A fleet ranked by risk.

RONIN AI is a transformer health index software. Start from the test data you already have: download the guided template, fill in your DGA and oil results, upload. It returns a CIGRE TB 761 health index per asset in seconds, then a whole fleet ordered by failure risk. This page is the deep dive: how it works, what you get, and how the number is built.

No sales calls · guided by AI

No sensors. No integration project. No IT rollout. Single asset or batch · 500 kVA to 800 MVA.

VPS in the EU · GDPR Your data does not train the model

RONIN AI turns diagnostic data you already own into a maintenance decision. It reads the DGA and oil results you already have, scores each transformer on a health index built on CIGRE TB 761, interprets the dissolved gases with the Duval Triangle, and ranks the whole fleet worst-first. The score comes from an interpretable machine-learning model anchored to the CIGRE standards, with the clause shown next to every result. Nothing to install on the transformer, results in seconds.

What you get

The full feature set, not a teaser.

Everything RONIN does today, in production. No roadmap items, no "coming soon". If it is on this page, it runs.

01

Single asset or batch

Score one transformer or a whole batch from the same guided template. A health index per unit, either way.

02

Health index and Duval

A per-asset report with the 0 to 100 index, the Duval Triangle for the DGA and a plain interpretation of the fault.

03

Standard actions

A recommended action tied to each result and its standard clause, so the next step is clear without an expert in the room.

04

Trend analysis

Track an asset across testing dates and catch degradation before the next scheduled assessment, not after a failure.

05

Fleet ranking

Organise assets into fleets and rank the whole population by severity in the Prediction List, worst first.

06

PDF and Excel export

Share assets and their indices as A4 or A3 PDF for the board, or export to Excel for your own reporting.

Where a whole fleet becomes a ranked worklist.

Green is healthy, red is at risk, and every asset carries its health index, date, type and area. Colour is a signal, never decoration, so the list reads even in greyscale. This is the actual RONIN interface, reconstructed here.

Data economics

Every parameter you measure has a price.

Each parameter in a health assessment costs something: a sensor to fit, a lab test to run. RONIN's model distilled the 14 that carry the signal, out of 60 or more, so you pay to collect only what moves the score. Fewer inputs, one seventh of the usual data, the same dependable index.

Traditional assessment
70 params
The full parameter set, each one a sensor to fit or a lab test to pay for. Around 400h of expert work.
Typical competitor
40 params
Lighter, but still a heavy data-collection bill and specialist interpretation. Around 3h.
Seetalabs RONIN
14 params
One seventh of the data, so you pay to collect only what carries the signal. Missing a few? It ranks the asset and flags the gap; if the core DGA is too thin, it stops rather than guess. Around 6s.

Oil quality Condition of the insulating oil
Breakdown voltage Water content Acidity Interfacial tension
Nameplate Context for the score
Rated power (MVA) Voltage (kV) Manufacturer Year

Confidence is always shown, never silent. Fewer inputs means a clearly flagged data gap, not a false certainty; where the essential DGA is not there, it stops rather than guess. RONIN compensates for missing parameters; it does not mask poor-quality data. Good data in remains a precondition.


Scale and coverage

Broad by design, because it reads chemistry, not a model number.

RONIN scores the oil and gas, so it does not care who built the transformer or where the data came from. If you have a lab report, RONIN can read it.

Method · interpretable AI, anchored to the standards

An open box, not a black one.

RONIN's score comes from an interpretable machine-learning model anchored to CIGRE TB 630 and TB 761, with the standard clause shown next to every result. The trust comes from interpretability and standards, not from hiding the AI or pretending there is none.

The reference framework

The international reference for the transformer health index and fleet prioritisation. RONIN's model is anchored to it, so the output maps back to a published method.

IEC 60599:2022

DGA interpretation

The Duval Triangle interpretation of the dissolved gases follows IEC 60599, so the fault type on the report is one an engineer can independently check.

Alignment, documented, not "certified"
80%R² · by design
The honest number

80% is an R², and pushing it higher would be a lie.

The 80% is the R² (coefficient of determination) of RONIN's health-index model, a regression metric, not a per-diagnosis error rate. It is high for a model trained on real, messy, cross-utility data. Forcing it toward 85% or more would mean overfitting the test set, a number that looks better on a slide and performs worse on your fleet. The goal is generalisation across diverse transformer populations, not a score tuned to one dataset.

The reason to trust it is not the number. It is that the model is interpretable and tied to published standards: every score carries its sub-scores, its Duval interpretation and its clause.

makoto, sincerity. A samurai does not promise. Saying and doing coincide. That is the standard we hold the number to.
The scale

One scale, read as risk. 0 to 100, higher is better.

Colour always comes with a label and the value, so a report stays readable in greyscale and nothing is judged by hue alone.

Your data, handled straight

Critical-infrastructure data deserves plain answers.

No dark patterns and no fine print. Here is exactly where your data lives, what it is used for, and how it is kept apart.

Hosted in the EU

Your data sits on a VPS in the European Union and is handled under the GDPR.

Not used for training

Your DGA, oil and asset data are never used to train or tune the model. Your fleet stays yours.

No user tracking

No behavioural tracking. Account data is minimal: name, email and an optional company. No photos.

Isolated per customer

Each customer runs on a separate domain, accessible only to the owner. Asset data is non-sensitive by design.

Encrypted, everywhere

Encryption at the highest standard, everything over HTTPS. The ML service is never exposed to the internet.

Firewalled by default

Access is firewalled and the scoring service is reachable only through the application, not directly.


Pricing, in plain sight

Pay for the decisions you make. Nothing else.

No hardware to buy, no capacity licence to negotiate before you can start, no hidden line items. Here is how it works, in the open, instead of a "contact us for pricing" wall.

01

Pay as you predict

A usage model: you pay for the predictions you run, one per asset assessed. No sensor, no gateway, no subscription for capacity you never use. Start with a single transformer.

02

Volume brings the unit cost down

The more assets you assess, the less each one costs. A large fleet scored in a batch is priced well below the same assets one at a time, so ranking a whole population stays affordable.

03

Higher plans on request

Running continuously across a very large fleet, or need dedicated terms? Higher-volume plans are arranged directly, sized to your fleet and cadence, not forced into a tier that does not fit.

04

White-label for partners

Oil-treatment, testing and service companies can resell the health index and reports under their own brand. A software add-on to the sampling you already do, arranged on request.

$30k to $50kper hour of unplanned outage
Scoring an asset with RONIN costs a small fraction of a single hour of unplanned downtime, and a rounding error against a transformer failure that runs into the millions with a replacement lead time measured in years. The question is not what a prediction costs. It is what one missed failure costs.

Transparent by design. The free account runs a guided demo before any commitment. No sales calls, guided by AI.


Answer-first · FAQ

The product questions engineers actually ask.

How do I get my data in, and from which lab? +
You start from the test data you already have. Download a guided template, fill in the DGA and oil results from any laboratory, and upload it. RONIN reads the data regardless of which lab produced it. There is no sensor to install and no integration to build. You can score a single asset or a whole batch.
What transformers does RONIN cover? +
Oil-immersed power transformers from roughly 500 kVA to 800 MVA, filled with mineral oil or natural and synthetic esters. Generator step-up units, grid and distribution transformers, and furnace transformers are all in scope, because the method reads the oil and gas chemistry rather than a specific design.
What is in a per-asset report? +
A health index from 0 to 100 with its band, the Duval Triangle interpretation of the DGA per IEC 60599:2022, the sub-scores that built the index, a recommended standard action with its clause, and the trend across testing dates. It exports to PDF for sharing and to Excel for your own reporting.
How does RONIN handle missing parameters? +
RONIN's model distilled the 14 parameters that carry the signal out of 60 or more. If some of those 14 are missing, it still ranks the asset and flags the gap, never a silent guess; and if the core DGA is too thin it tells you and won't score, rather than invent a result. It compensates for missing parameters but does not mask poor-quality data: good data in remains a precondition.
Does the 80% mean RONIN is only 80% correct? +
No. The 80% is the of the health-index model, a regression metric, not a per-diagnosis error rate. It is high for a model trained on real, cross-utility data, and pushing it toward 85% or more would mean overfitting. The model is interpretable and anchored to CIGRE TB 630 and TB 761, with the standard clause shown next to every score.
How is RONIN different from a DGA calculator or an online monitor? +
A DGA calculator types a single fault from gas ratios. An online monitor streams data from a sensor you buy and install. RONIN does neither: it turns existing data into a health index and a ranked fleet, so you know which transformer to fix first. Everyone sells the sensor. RONIN sells the decision.
