With the wind energy market expanding strongly, there’s a great future ahead for new IT solution SITE, specially designed to improve employee safety and streamline logistics at offshore wind farms
At offshore wind farms many kilometres from land, where wind and weather conditions are often extreme, employee safety is of paramount importance.
To help deal with this, Systematic now provides the new software solution SITE, which aims to enhance personal safety in exceptionally demanding offshore environments, as well as optimising the complex logistics involved when establishing and subsequently maintaining offshore wind farms.
As described by Systematic Group Senior Vice President Flemming Bent Thomsen:
“With SITE, we provide a digital platform that creates an effective overview of everything that’s going on, and establishes reliable communication between marine coordinators on land and the vessels and personnel operating offshore on and around the wind turbines. Establishing a wind farm usually involves a construction phase extending over about two years, during which time there are several hundred people, vast amounts of equipment, installation vessels, transport ships, and all kinds of tenders and auxiliary vessels in operation out there, as well as helicopters flying to, from and above the site. It’s vital with reliable tracking of all people, vessels and assets at all times and to be able to coordinate both planned and unforeseen tasks effectively. These capabilities are absolutely crucial for commercial success. At the same time, there are extremely strict safety requirements that must be complied with, and it’s crucial to know where every person is at any given time. SITE provides exactly the right tools needed for doing this.”
