Background
The wind turbine manufacturer, our client, faced a significant challenge in managing their wind turbine inspection data. This data is crucial for preventive maintenance and keeping their turbines running smoothly.
Approach to solution
Our client explored various solutions to address their challenges. Initially, they considered the possibility of finding an off-the-shelf solution. However, after careful consideration of their needs, they ultimately decided to engage an external contractor for the development of the system.
Computools role
Computools, as a partner for the development and implementation of a comprehensive data management system, assessed the client’s requirements, developed a technical specification, designed the system, and then proceeded with its development and implementation. Throughout the project, our engineers made several key decisions:
- Utilizing Java, JSON, and MSSQL DB for system development.
- Developing a business logic module to automate data analysis.
- Implementing a caching mechanism to enhance performance.
Key decisions and outcomes
Our team proposed a solution based on the implementation of sensor devices to help the client monitor the condition of wind turbines, predict breakdowns, and address them promptly. After identifying the client’s needs, our engineers developed the solution. To date, Computools provides technical support for the system and assists in its further enhancement. Both parties are discussing the possibility of expanding collaboration in developing new IoT solutions.
The new data management system enabled the client to enhance the efficiency of managing their wind turbine park and improve their financial metrics.
Computools was selected through an RFP process. They were shortlisted and selected from between 5 other suppliers. Computools has worked thoroughly and timely to solve all security issues and launch as agreed. Their expertise is impressive.
