Robot potential with wind services
How RIPA can boost safety and efficiency After years spent working as a process control engineer in the oil and gas space Vicki Knott , co-founder and CEO of CruxOCM , began to wonder – why should industrial processes be any different ?
This revelation led to her ideation of Robotic Industrial Process Automation ( RIPA ), a technology to guide control rooms and streamline complex functions in oil and gas supply chain processes .
Through RIPA , CruxOCM is future proofing oil operations to run efficiently and safely , achieving a 99 % reduction in control room operator workload when applied to oil pipeline gathering systems .
Over 1000GW of wind power capacity will come online between 2021 and 2030 , which would significantly increase the opportunity for the wind services market . During this period , the global wind services market is forecast to grow from US $ 18.95bn to US $ 42.25bn by 2030 .
Besides yearly capacity additions , the opportunity for the wind services market will come from ageing wind turbines coming out of warranty , especially across Europe and North America .
As the global renewables market continues to grow and mature , the wind services industry is shifting from product-focused to service-focused business models and witnessing an increasing scale of digitalisation , which has created new entrants : specialised service providers .
These new service providers offer technical services , including drones and robots for monitoring and ssessing or even individual component-based monitoring .
