Business problem:

A dearth of operational dataOffshore wind turbines are truly awe-inspiring machinesand they require a similarly awe-inspiring amount of maintenance. Keeping these behemoths functioning at peak performance requires complex operational planning, predictive maintenance, and precise scheduling.As a leading supplier of wind power to customers all over the globe, Siemens Gamesa is responsible for a ten-year warranty on a large number of offshore wind turbines. Maintenance ships and crews account for the largest percentage of Siemens Gamesas turbine service expenditures, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars each day.

Industry consolidation and new turbine blade technologies have made high performance and cost reduction crucial.But with the existing technology, the activity of the ships performing maintenance was a black hole of data.Planning relied on human estimates, which were imprecise and error-proneHard data for actual onsite operations was sorely lackingThe accumulated errors and lack of precision led to costly decisionsFor efficient, cost-effective operational planning, Siemens Gamesa needed accurate, directly observed data about every step of their maintenance procedures. Without a precise digital system, all that crucial information was just blowing in the windalong with any opportunity to optimize operations and save money. Technology solution:

Smart data collection, analysis, and visualizationMetal Toad created a proof of concept for a solution that has the potential to revolutionize wind turbine maintenance operations. The heart of the solution is a new smart platform leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) For more visit https://www.metaltoad.com/casestudy/siemens-gamesa
