SkySpecs' Horizon Blade Asset Management is a platform designed for the wind industry to provide asset management teams with a centralized, organized, and accurate source of information. It enables users to assess the health of blade assets, prioritize repair campaigns for maximum return on investment, and manage fieldwork in real time. The solution helps in making confident Operations & Maintenance (O&M) decisions, reducing potential failures, and minimizing turbine downtime. Horizon allows for the study of propagation patterns, identification of trends, and quantification of asset risk based on inspection data. It consolidates all blade data, including from third-party vendors, into a single hub, reducing the time spent on compiling reports. The platform tracks the entire lifecycle of a blade, including all identified issues and repair work, leading to smarter, data-informed decisions and potential cost savings. Key features include consolidated inspection results, damage review and propagation analysis, lightning strike monitoring, repair management, Annual Energy Production (AEP) analysis for O&M strategy, warranty/FSA claim management, and comprehensive reporting and data visualization.

Features & Benefits

• Consolidated Inspection Results: Centralizes, manages, and tracks all blade inspections and repairs, including from third-party vendors, in one location.
• Damage Review and Propagation Analysis: Helps understand the frequency of damage types, their propagation scope, and the prevalence of high-risk assets across the fleet.
• Lightning Strike Monitoring: Identifies critical lightning events and inspection opportunities, capturing the event, inspection, results, and repair activity as a workflow.
• Repair Management: Saves time and avoids errors associated with manual repair management using specialized work management tools.
• AEP Analysis for Enhanced O&M Strategy: Leverages data for annual energy production (AEP) loss analysis to gain insights into fleet efficiencies.
• Warranty/FSA Claim Management: Tracks submission responses and repair progress, using subsequent inspections to confirm repairs and hold OEMs accountable.
• Comprehensive Reporting and Data Visualization: Enables the creation and sharing of data visualizations and reports across the organization.
