Interactive Communication and Monitoring System for
Offshore Wind Energy

Most offshore windparks in the German North Sea and Baltic Sea shore are located in open sea more than 100 nautic miles from land. During the construction phase several hundred laborers are working at sea on several vessels and platforms: installation vessels, tugs, supply vessels, cable ships etc. All vessels have to communicate and exchange information with their land-based offices to co-ordinate the ongoing work and secure that all activities are executed according to plan.

The Com4Offshore approach provides the technically and economically optimal solution to the users irrespective of their location by combining wireless, mobile and satellite network technologies. This enables access for standard devices such as smartphones, tablets and notebooks with seamless coverage of the relevant offshore construction areas and with communications services adapted to the user needs.

In addition to communications, software based services support the offshore logistics and construction workflow as well as a wireless sensor solution to optimize the installation of major offshore components such as foundations and tower segments. Our goal is to improve the information exchange between the actors offshore and onshore and to increase the efficiency of wind farm construction. This has a significant potential to reduce the time and costs of the costly offshore construction projects.
