Eolos Floating Lidar Solutions offers turn-key measurement solutions to the offshore wind industry. The company designs, builds, installs, and services floating buoys that use LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to gather wind, oceanographic, and environmental data from offshore locations. The company’s main product is the EOLOS FLS200, a multi-purpose autonomous buoy. This system is presented as a cost-effective alternative to traditional bottom-fixed measurement solutions, claiming to be up to ten times less expensive.
The B2B model focuses on providing these systems as a complete service, which includes the deployment and maintenance of the buoys for data collection. Eolos serves offshore wind developers and has been involved in government tenders for wind and ocean site assessments. The company has secured significant contracts, including a large-scale project with the Dutch government (RVO) and is expanding its operations into the US and APAC markets. The development of its technology has been recognized with awards, such as the Innovators Award from the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT).
