STARKOS

A Joint Venture Built to Modernize Fire Testing Infrastructure

Fire testing laboratories buy furnaces once every 15–20 years, and most on the market are mechanically sound but digitally outdated. STARKOS pairs ARS Energy's furnace engineering with Incodeks' software and automation capability to deliver furnaces that are connected and serviceable for decades.
