Moli for Universities and Research
Our software helps research groups, labs, and academic institutions collect, verify, and analyse wind measurements with the precision and transparency that modern research demands.

Why use Moli for research?
Built for measurement campaigns, perfect for research
Academic and applied research projects often face complex data challenges: multiple sensors, remote locations, inconsistent logging, and tight timelines.
Moli gives researchers a single platform to:
- track instrument health and uptime,
- monitor multiple experimental setups,
- verify data quality daily,
- and share results quickly with collaborators and students.
It’s a tool designed for the real world; adaptable, transparent, and scientifically reliable.
Built for lots of measurements
You work with lots of different devices and data sources, so Moli does too. Our software can handle data from:
- wind lidar
- met masts
- sodar
- fuel cells
- other software
Built for data quality
Your goal is to get lots of high quality data. Moli checks your data automatically, looking out for common problems like:
- No data transferred
- Problems with data files
- Flat-lining sensors
- Out-of-range values
and many more. You’ll get a warning by email, so you can react in time.
Built for everyone
Moli includes a wide range of features that are designed to make data easy to understand.
There’s everything you would expect from a monitoring tool – like time series plots and monthly summaries – as well as automated reports to give you a quick summary.
Built for organisations
Moli includes a comprehensive organisation management system.
You can invite your colleagues and service providers, and give them appropriate rights to view and manage your campaigns. The campaign logbook helps keep everyone on the same page.
An admin dashboard means you never lose track of who you’re working with.
Moli supports education and teaching
A practical tool for teaching wind energy
Students learn best when they work with real data. With Moli, teaching teams can give students access to live or historical measurement campaigns, letting them explore availability, sensor performance, quality checks, and real-world uncertainty.
Use it in courses on:
- wind resource assessment
- meteorology
- environmental engineering
- data science and analytics
- renewable energy project development
Whether it’s a bachelor course or a research seminar, Moli helps bridge the gap between theory and field practice.
Designed for Research-Grade Results
Robust, transparent, and ready for publication
Research institutions need traceable data and consistent documentation. Moli provides the monitoring, logging, and metadata clarity needed for report writing, peer-reviewed publications, and collaboration with industry.
We support complex setups – from single-mast experiments to multi-LIDAR campaigns – with flexible data ingestion and clear audit trails.
Enerlace also works with R&D groups to align with emerging industry standards and open-data principles where possible.
Moli is designed to handle data for anything from a single temperature sensor to a fleet of wind lidars
Supported by the Enerlace Team
We work closely with academic partners
We collaborate with universities and research groups Internationally to support field campaigns, joint industry projects, and educational programs.
Thanks to our extensive R&D background, we know what’s involved with academic research. We’re always happy to help set up new campaigns, connect instruments, define data streams, or tailor monitoring setups for experimental designs.
If your institution is working on grant-funded projects or multi-year studies, we can provide stable, long-term support.
