The Predictive-Maintenance Twin

Kronos's predictive-maintenance twin tracks how components age - magnets, first wall, centrepost - so parts are serviced on evidence, not on a fixed calendar.

The concept

Neutron fluence, thermal cycling, and stress histories accumulate as damage. The twin turns sensor streams into remaining-useful-life estimates per component and schedules swaps before margins are crossed.

How Kronos uses it

A consumable centrepost swapped on prognosis keeps availability high across a fleet, because maintenance is planned from the twin's forecast rather than from failures.

Honest note

Forecasts are model-based and improve as real operating data arrives after first tritium.
