Offshore Wind and Renewables

Offshore wind farms include thousands of critical assets (turbines, foundations, substations, undersea cables) operating in remote, corrosive, and hazardous environments. Monitoring and managing these efficiently is difficult, but with MAS, you can support safe operations via work and inventory management, planning and scheduling, and asset lifecycle management.

Challenges and Use Cases for Offshore Wind and Renewables

Challenge

Offshore assets like turbines face extreme weather, corrosion, and mechanical stress, leading to high failure risk.

Solution

Asset Health Insights (Maximo Health)

Tracks asset condition using sensor data and health scores.

Predictive Maintenance

Uses AI to forecast component failures and recommend interventions.

Digital Twin Integration

Provides real-time virtual models to simulate and monitor asset behavior in dynamic environments.

Challenge

Technicians must travel long distances to offshore locations, making unplanned maintenance costly and slow.

Solution

Mobile EAM

Enables field technicians to view and update work orders offline, minimizing downtime.

Remote Monitoring via IoT

Continuously collects data from offshore assets to detect anomalies without physical presence.

Work Order Prioritization

Ensures only critical tasks justify costly trips.

Challenge

Offshore wind and renewable projects must meet strict environmental and safety regulations.

Solution

Compliance Management Module

Tracks inspections, certifications, and audit trails.

EHS Features

Streamlines safety incident reporting and mitigation actions.

Automated Regulatory Reporting

Generates and submits compliance reports based on local and international standards.

Challenge

Failures in turbines, substations, or underwater cables result in massive repair and revenue losses.

Solution

Condition-Based Maintenance

Uses vibration, oil, and temperature analysis to trigger maintenance actions.

Root Cause Analysis

Helps identify the origin of recurring failures for long-term reliability improvements.

Spare Parts Forecasting (Inventory Management)

Ensures critical components are stocked based on predictive demand.

Challenge

Managing assets across multiple offshore farms or remote renewable sites is logistically complex.

Solution

GIS Integration

Visualizes geographically distributed assets for better planning and routing.

Centralized Asset Management

Standardizes asset data and maintenance across all sites.

Cloud-Based Access

Allows teams in different regions to collaborate in real time.

Challenge

Suboptimal performance due to lack of insight into turbine output, solar panel efficiency, or downtime causes revenue loss.

Solution

Performance Analytics Dashboards

Track and optimize power output per asset, location, and weather conditions.

Maximo Assist (AI Recommendations)

Suggests operational adjustments based on past performance and real-time data.

KPI Tracking & SLA Monitoring

Helps identify bottlenecks affecting energy output.

Challenge

Offshore inspections often require helicopters, boats, or drones — time-consuming and expensive.

Solution

Drone & IoT Data Integration

Supports importing drone footage or sensor data directly into Maximo for visual inspections.

Automated Inspection Scheduling

Uses asset conditions and environmental triggers to generate inspection tasks only when necessary.

Defect Tracking with Image Annotation

Tag and log defects directly from drone images or mobile devices.

Challenge

Parts for offshore assets may take weeks to source and deliver, delaying critical fixes.

Solution

Inventory Optimization

Predicts demand for parts using AI and suggests reorders.

Supplier & Vendor Management

Tracks delivery lead times, costs, and quality for each vendor.

Maintenance Planning with Lead Time Awareness

Schedules work around parts availability.
