Our vision for the wind industry

The wind industry is rapidly changing, with the demand for greener energy becoming all the more important by the day. This will lead to more wind farms being constructed along with bigger turbines, meaning potentially bigger bolts on critical applications.

 

Safety and speed are two important factors in the wind industry, as operators are often working in extreme environments at heights. With construction equipment being so expensive it’s important that the turbines are installed in good time – Atlas Copco’s tools help achieve both safety and speed.

 

To achieve these goals, we develop smart bolting solutions to help operators in their application processes. Making tools quicker, safer and smarter, we enable companies to operate in a more efficient way with full data traceability, taking the smart factory to the field.

 

 

The challenges we solve

  • Improving worker safety - Safety is the top priority of everything we do, and our tools demonstrate that. We make our tools with ergonomics at the heart, as well as adding features such as the dual trigger on the SRBHA or fail-safe mechanism on wind tensioners.
  • Reducing assembly times - When working out in the field, time is critical. So being able to have process guidance on the tool with quick solutions, you can complete processes with ease and confidence. 
  • Ability to capture data - Having the ability to showcase that the process has been completed right first-time is highly valuable, and our data-driven bolting solutions allow you to do that. 
  • All solutions under one - Having tools that can talk and communicate together is greatly valuable as you can collect data all in one common place on one database, so you can analyze an optimize your processes.
