The offshore wind industry faces a shortage of qualified personnel and a high demand for production capacity for wind foundations. This necessitates a transformation of the manufacturing process. HAANE’s recent Adaptive Welding System marks a major advancement and a big step toward automation in wind foundation pipe production.
HAANE welding systems is a pioneer in delivering cutting-edge automation solutions for offshore wind production lines. With over 75 years of experience in turnkey factory solutions for welding technologies, the privately owned company combines tradition with innovation and skilled personnel.
The company began its renewable journey in 2000 by constructing its first monopile installation in the Netherlands. Since then, it has expanded its expertise in managing workplace systems and providing welding solutions for the production of monopiles, towers, and foundation pipes to address the heightened challenges of the offshore wind industry.
Twenty-five years in the wind: challenges
The rise of renewables requires efficient production methods. The industry faces a dual challenge: a surge in demand and a shortage of skilled expertise. To address these, HAANE transforms monopile production into a more people-centric business, where experience and automation converge to enhance efficiency. This has significantly boosted productivity. Continuing this advancement simplifies the handling of complex welding processes.
