Everyone has now woken up to the benefits of automation, integration and digitization in the wind industry, but what’s the next phase and how can we continue to support the global market consolidation with technology?
We asked Onyx Insight’s Product Owner Jon Hodson and Joshua Greenslade, Machine Learning Engineer to share their thoughts.
PES: Welcome to PES Jon and Joshua. Shall we begin with an overview of Onyx Insight?
Jon Hodson: Onyx Insight is a global company that provides software, monitoring, advanced data analytics and other services primarily to the wind industry, although we do monitor other rotating machinery too.
We help engineering and operations teams around the world deliver increased production and reduce operations and maintenance costs through smart, and importantly, unbiased analytics that is backed by real-world engineering expertise.
PES: So how can digitization make a difference with the challenges the wind industry faces?
JH: I think the key challenge that the wind industry faces is fragmentation, or decentralisation of data. You’ve got SCADA data over here, vibration over there, inspection images and data in another five different pieces of software, each one covering a different area of the turbine.
