Our Data Pilots programme is designed to help data owners kick-start innovation through exploring data and developing proof of concepts, as well as capturing and understanding common data challenges facing the offshore wind sector.
Introduction
Commissioned by The Crown Estate, the programme is a recognition that data owner/operators in the offshore wind industry are struggling with the immense data volume being generated and not fully exploiting modern digital technologies. There is significant potential for operational efficiency gains and cost reduction underpinned by innovations in data use and digital systems. The barriers to getting value from the operational data are typically either resource/capability bottlenecks or an inability for larger organisations to innovate and try new approaches/processes.
Data Pilot Projects
Each Data Pilot involves an industrial partner providing a specific data and digital challenge. Our Data & Digitalisation Team tackle the challenge by through employing modern digital techniques. Specific project outputs can include prototype applications, scripts and interactive dashboards to solve a particular problem statement.
ORE Catapult’s Data & Digitalisation Team comprise information system experts, data scientists, mechanical engineers, naval architects and project engineers. The team seek digital transformation projects and opportunities that will either enhance the digital maturity of the renewables industry or enrich ORE Catapult’s knowledge and capabilities in the field of digital transformation.
