- Vissim Windfarm Solutions combine hardware and software to integrate real-time sensor feeds into one operational display for marine coordinators and planners. The tools cover situational awareness, planning, tracking, communication and data management for personnel, vessels and work tasks during offshore-wind construction and operations.
- An associated online platform manages personnel data, vessel certifications and manifest planning. The article says it lets contractors handle some coordination workload while operators retain oversight, data control and security. Analytics over collected operational data are intended to identify inefficiencies; technical security details and independent performance measures are not given.
- Vissim says its automated people-tracking systems have monitored and recorded more than 7 million successful personnel transfers. It also says Windfarm Solutions have been used in more than 45 offshore wind projects. The page cites the company’s 30 years of experience in surveillance and marine-domain awareness.
- The page says a medium-sized wind-farm construction can require over 5 million offshore person-hours. Market context cites DNV’s 2025 outlook that wind could supply 27% of Europe’s electricity mix in 2040 and a projection that European offshore-wind capacity would double between 2024 and 2030; these are forecasts, not observed outcomes.
- Linked to SDGs 7 and 12.
