So far, yet so close

Technology doesn‘t just save distance, it saves time.

Wind turbine operators are increasingly facing challenges as they can only access the turbine and operating data necessary for fault analysis when they are on site. Without remote access, even resetting simple faults is not possible. In addition, on-site deployment cannot be planned efficiently in terms of the equipment required or the expertise needed to rectify faults. 

Effective remote monitoring and intelligent retrofit solutions offer decisive added value here: they not only enable precise fault diagnosis from a distance, but also targeted remote control and troubleshooting – without cost-intensive on-site service calls. This saves time, reduces operating costs and significantly increases system availability.

REMOTE SUPPORT = EFFICENCY ON SITE

Fault analysis – from a distance

From the control center, you have a complete overview of your systems, can carry out error analyses, and trigger multiple functional operations directly eliminating or better coordinating paths.

Service team support – from a distance

Experienced technicians provide remote support to several service teams at once. This reduces downtime and prevents incorrect spare parts equipment.

System start – from a distance

The Bachmann VeAccess system removes the need to restart the system on site. Commissioning is carried out conveniently from the control center – saving time and effort.

Parallel access – from a distance

VeAccess uses modern web technology, enabling both insight and access to systems. Experts can process error messages across locations, reduce downtime and plan service calls efficiently.

Much more than just watching from a distance.

At the heart of this technology is the remote panel, which can be accessed from any location via a web browser. From here, you not only have the same access as on site via the Servicebox, but VeAccess also offers a wealth of additional information that is helpful for the actual assessment of the current system status.

So fast, so efficient, so simple, so safe

Simple topology = Innovative technology

Sophisticated technology

The effective combination of proven technologies into one efficient unit: This is engineering at its highest level. Only Bachmann-certified individual components are used, enabling us to combine quality and functional reliability for a very long view.

Maximum data availability

System and operating data is aggregated to the highest quality and, backed up in the system, is available at any time for dedicated fault analysis.

Access security

Anyone who installs a door to the system has the convenience of access, but also the risk of unauthorized access. From functional security to active cyber protection, our solutions prevent unauthorized entry or exit – our systems are designed for this and are constantly updated.

Rapid Return on Investment – ROI

Assuming standard market service operations, the VeAccess system pays for itself in around 70% of all cases after just 1.5 years.
