Adapting real-time intelligence to remote conditions using edge and cloud

Seaqualize, a Netherlands-based company, has developed inline balanced heave compensators, known as HeaveChiefs, to maintain geo-stationary loads in wind turbine parts. The company uses the SDG IoT Accelerate program to provide real-time insights on the performance and conditions of their HeaveChiefs in offshore conditions worldwide. Traditional solutions require manual attention under harsh conditions to duplicate log data to the cloud, which is labor-intensive and error-prone. Seaqualize now offers detailed diagnostic data from the HeaveChief hooks in the cloud for further analysis, along with dashboards for live insights for multiple parties. The solution uses technology like Azure cloud access, Grafana and Matlab reporting, real-time databases, industrial hardware, and Starlink communication technology. This approach offers optimal uptime and increased reliability for HeaveChiefs, ensuring high safety levels and reduced risk of damaged loads.
