Ferrying workers from the shore to various offshore facilities – including drilling rigs and wind turbines – has presented many companies with challenges for decades. In the past, many businesses relied on helicopters or personnel baskets and swing ropes to shuttle workers between platforms and ships.
However, even in ideal circumstances this comes with a fair share of health and safety risks for employees: in a full 20 per cent of cases, bad weather and/or rough seas rule out the safe use of these methods.
OrangeNXT (an ICT Group company) developed conNXT, which is an IoT solution which can help Ampelmann to use data to improve the performance of its gangway. ConNXT is a ready-to-use platform for remote monitoring, asset management and predictive maintenance and can be adapted to specific requirements with minimal effort.
The conNXT solution allows Ampelmann to monitor their systems, improve their preventive maintenance programmes, and focuses on putting preventive maintenance into practice.
