Equans
A major player in the offshore wind energy industry strategically employed equipment tagging, resulting in streamlined workflows, prompt access to essential asset information, and ultimately achieving on-time project delivery and enhanced operational efficiency.
The customer
EQUANS is the world leader in multi-technical installations and maintenance services. They cover the entire value chain of installations: consultancy, feasibility studies, engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, project management, energy efficiency audits, multi-technical management, and maintenance.
The collaboration with Twintag was carried out with the Offshore Division of Equans which focuses on wind high-voltage substations. With its expertise in Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning (EPCIC) of Offshore High-Voltage Substations (OHVS) as well as the Monitoring and Maintenance of complete offshore wind farms, EQUANS is contributing to the decarbonization and decentralization of energy worldwide.
Challenges
Manual documentation has been a default solution for keeping track of inner processes and logistics at EQUANS. This posed a challenge to their operational efficiency, impacting the overall construction processes and final deadlines.
In a strategic move to outpace competitors, EQUANS decided to digitalize all of their manual workflows. The primary goal of this collaboration was to implement a digital monitoring system for construction processes to reduce installation errors and minimize delays.

"The magic behind the Service Enablement Solution is that we have the human interface on the frontline and really smart data behind the scenes. The Twintag team has been engaging our end users and internal stakeholders from the start and by doing so they could quickly understand the key features needed. The platform is flexible and easy to adapt which allowed us to capture some new important features which popped up during the interactive demonstration sessions.
We are convinced that the Service Enablement Solution will bring significant benefits to Equans by reducing human error and making the information flow almost instantaneous. And as a consequence, by executing projects effectively it will increase our end customer satisfaction."
