See the Fault Before It Costs You the Asset
Founded in 1993, OFIL builds solar blind UV cameras that make corona and partial discharge visible on energized equipment, in full daylight. Gridnostic, our inspection platform, turns what the camera sees into a ranked repair list.
- No shutdown, no waiting for dark. DayCor® cameras work in the UVC band, 240 to 280 nm, where atmospheric ozone absorbs sunlight before it reaches the ground. Corona shows at midday, on a live asset.
- Earlier than a thermal camera. Corona is driven by voltage, not by load. A UV camera shows the stress while an infrared camera is still waiting for the connection to heat up. The two are complementary, not alternatives.
- A sensitivity figure you can check. 1 pC at 12 m on UVollé, 1 pC at 15 m on Luminar HD and UV Eye, 1 pC at 8 m on micROM HD. Tested and certified by Innogy SE-Eurotest Germany to IEC 60270:2000.

Customers Testimonials
“Working with OFIL’s technology allows us to offer a level of detail in inspection and diagnostics that was previously out of reach. We recieved fantastic realtime coustomer support to get onboarded and in perticular, the integration process was impressively efficient. The combination of micROM and Gridnostic is a true force multiplier for our field operations.”
Icon Surveys
Andrew Gorman
“We had a solid inspection program, but our data lived in too many places. We needed a single system that could organize everything and make the data usable. We no longer spend 10–15 minutes per pole reviewing imagery in the field. We capture the data quickly and do the real inspection work afterward in the office, where it’s far more efficient. In some cases, we saw multiple issues concentrated in the same area. That kind of visibility really opened our eyes and helped us understand where systemic problems might exist.”
