Seasight Solutions Announces Delivery of Advanced Blade Installation System to Nordex Group

The Nordex Group, one of the leading suppliers of wind turbines in the Nordic Region, has committed to implementing the cutting-edge Autonomous Positioning System (APS) developed by Seasight Solutions for its blade installation projects in Northern Europe. This strategic move underscores Nordex’s dedication to enhancing safety and efficiency in renewable energy technologies.

An advanced solution for installations under difficult wind and site conditions

In a recent development, Nordex has placed an order for 17 APS systems, bringing the total capacity to 20. This substantial investment in the future of wind energy installation will cover Nordex’s demand for installations in Northern and Eastern Europe.

Lee Horton, Director PM Operations Division Europe at Nordex Group, expressed his enthusiasm for the new technology, stating, “The APS is an advanced solution for installations under difficult wind and site conditions. Its integration into our operations will streamline our installation processes and ensure highest levels of safety possible on site.”

The APS technology, known for its autonomous capabilities, represents a significant leap forward in the field, offering unparalleled accuracy and safety during the critical process of wind turbine blade installation.

Enhanced safety and reduced wind waiting days

Seasight Solutions’ APS is an innovative tool transforming lifting operations with enhanced safety and efficiency. Unlike traditional taglines, the APS enables precise mid-air control of large components, such as wind turbine blades.

Globally recognized for its reliability and smart design, the APS has been successfully implemented in nearly a thousand installations. Its key advantages include safety enhancement and operational efficiency, as it significantly lowers accident risks, ensuring safer job sites.

Head of Sales at Seasight Solutions, Anders Karlsson, notes another key advantage of the APS: “Together with Nordex we have significantly reduced the number of wind waiting days during installations.”

Vice President Technology Improvement at Nordex Group, Jan Dahl, also commented on the collaboration with Seasight Solutions, saying, “The innovative APS aligns perfectly with our vision of pioneering sustainable energy solutions by continuously improving technology and safety. Our partnership with Seasight Solutions has been instrumental in reaching this goal and we are excited about the potential this technology holds for the future of wind energy.”

Nordex’s adoption of the APS from Seasight Solutions reflects a commitment to innovation, and the continuous pursuit of sustainable energy solutions that benefit both the work environment and the economy.
