Process and recommendations


Are you at the planning stage of a floating wind project? Then Bachmann is the right choice as your reliable partner from the very beginning.

Our expertise, generated over decades of offshore experience, is the foundation for successful project implementation. Together with our customers, we plan and develop tailor-made automation solutions for WTG controlling and monitoring.
 

Step 1: Project introduction, no obligation

It's easy to get started with us: 

  • Initial discussions about your project, all information is confidential.
  • Together, we identify the key elements of a successful project partnership.
  • Ideally, we will outline initial solutions, identify potential hurdles, and agree on milestones.

We are also happy to work with your project planners and designers. A combination of expert teams is always the best guarantee for a successful and sustainable implementation.

Output: Documented recommendations with a potential timeline

Step 2: Expert team - consulting, planning, offer

Partnership starts here:

After preliminary discussions and a shared commitment, we get to work.

  • Dedicated teams of experts
  • Automation team and Condition Monitoring Consulting (CMC) team for all aspects of CMS
  • Project planning with solution design, milestones, schedule and product/solution roadmaps
  • Proposal preparation according to project plan and detailed coordination with other stakeholders
  • Development of an overall concept according to the requirements

Output: Project plan with cost overview, schedule and task packages

Step 3: Application and implementation concept

Precision work par excellence:

It is not only the right combination of hardware and software that counts, but also the detailed application description with all functionalities and systemic security components.

With our years of experience, you benefit not only from peace of mind, but also from certified security, thanks to our DNV-certified monitoring systems and remote services.

Output: Detailed application and functional description, compilation of individual components and development of an appropriate maintenance strategy.

Step 4: Realization

Wide range of Bachmann products depending on the scope of the order:

  • Modern, robust and high-quality hardware solutions
  • Digital twin technology in the pre-application phase and during operation
  • Innovative web-based analysis software and visualization solution
  • On-site installation and qualified commissioning
  • Certified and flexible remote monitoring services
  • Training and education for in-house monitoring
  • Personal project management support throughout

Combine according to your needs and requirements. Bachmann offers an almost unlimited variety of modules to choose from. But don't worry, we'll actively and quickly guide you to your customized solution.

Output: We implement what you need and what makes sense - no more, no less.

Step 5: Ongoing quality control

Project processes you can rely on:

We ensure this throughout the entire planning and implementation process with our high-quality management and sophisticated processes.

From hardware modules to software installations, you can always rely on Bachmann. In the event of an unforeseen problem, our technicians and engineers will be on site immediately to remedy the situation and get everything back up and running in the shortest possible time, without compromising final commissioning.

Output: Safety you can feel every day and that reduces costs.

Step 6: Continuous operation with Smart Maintenance

Always by your side:

Our team remains available after initial start-up, and our remote monitoring provides comprehensive precautions against unplanned downtime.

We use our expertise to create the ideal maintenance strategy for your project.

In the event of a failure, we perform a targeted Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to minimize the likelihood of recurrence and adapt a strategic approach to CM.

Our goal is to ensure uninterrupted operation well beyond the nominal life of each system.

Output: Reliable, continuous operation to protect your equipment and your bottom line.

Structural Health Monitoring

We are aware of the complexity of offshore wind projects. Suppliers of floating wind turbines face enormous technological, logistical and financial challenges to deliver safe new turbines. SHM helps overcome these challenges by continuously monitoring structural ageing and fatigue - both of the tower and the foundation.

forsiteSCADA: Absolute data sovereignty and user control

forsiteSCADA

forsiteSCADA is an innovative SCADA solution for energy management in hybrid power plants. We have not only renamed the well-established product Wind Power SCADA (WPS), but also responded to the growing demands of the energy industry by further developing it. It is based on atvise SCADA and offers all the advantages of web-based development (HTML5/SVG/responsive design). In addition, the standardized data structure according to IEC 61400-25 ensures uniform operation and a uniform "look and feel" - even with several turbine types in one system.
