BENEFITS & FEATURES

Key Benefits

  • Advanced analysis for complex projects

    Get precise early production and weather downtime assessments to de-risk your project long before the first shovel is in the ground

  • Maximise the probability of being on target

    Increase the chance of meeting project deadlines by understanding bottlenecks and maximising resource utilisation

  • Simpler, faster analysis to solve complex problems

    Compare multiple scenarios and tenders quickly with simulations taking minutes not days and weeks

  • Connect information across the project

    With project and asset data stored all in one place, there’s no need to search through scattered spreadsheets or documents – the project team share the same data and results

  • Generate Primavera and MS Project project schedules

    Use intelligent simulations to generate P10-P90 project schedules and weather downtime assessments in minutes ready for export to Primavera and MS Project

  • Integrate all construction phases in one business case

    Include foundations, array and export cables, substations and production assets in the same business case to get full insight into interdependencies and knock on effects

  • Remove the guesswork

    Powerful modeling lets you understand the financial and operational impact of lead time, weather downtime, and resource availability.

  • See the future – and change it

    Predict the knock-on effect of changes, even relatively minor ones, quickly and precisely, then use those newfound insights to adapt risk forecasts, estimates, schedules, and more.

  • Planning on the double

    Build business cases, study sensitivities, and crunch data in minutes rather than days and weeks to maximise your project's potential.

  • Choose the right setup the first time

    As you can model fast you have the ability to investigate more scenarios with higher precision to de-risk your project.

Key Features

Build and simulate virtual wind farms

Intelligent, high-speed simulation technology for full life-cycle scenario modelling

  • Shoreline’s simulation engine uses state of the art agent-based modelling and our patented optimisation algorithm to accurately predict cost, production and utilisation of wind farms.
  • Modelling of personnel, assets and logistics takes into account constraints, such as weather variables and transport limitations in minutes.
  • Assess pre-assembly, load-out, installation and commissioning in the same simulation, as well as complex supply chain, field service and logistic scenarios

Analyse and forecast project schedules

Compare multiple planning scenarios in minutes not weeks for efficient and optimal project scheduling

  • Create multiple draft plans with varying personnel, transports, and work orders before deciding on and dispatching a plan.
  • Compare draft plans with easily digestible and exportable dashboards to analyse and production, utilisation, downtime, and more.
  • Plan based on available resources as well as simulating fictitious ones to forecast potential productivity and utilisation for a business case or tender.

Collaborate with colleagues

Remove problems with information flow within your organisation with enhanced collaboration

  • Inter-organisation access allows transparency between staff in different areas – from site planners, site managers, stock keepers, and technicians to management.
  • Achieve greater cooperation by removing siloed spreadsheets and reducing internal databases.

Predict adverse events and weather

Get precise adverse events and weather downtime assessments to de-risk your project long before the first shovel hits the ground

  • Generate P10-P90 weather downtime assessments in minutes for a business case or tender, ready for export to Primavera and MS Project.
  • Use Hindcast or measured weather time series with significant wave height, wave direction, wave period, wind speed, wind direction, current velocity, tide (LAT/MSL), visibility and daylight data.
  • Predict the knock-on effect of changes quickly and precisely to adapt risk forecasts, estimates, schedules and more with S-curves of installed assets.

Analyse finances and production

Make a substantial contribution to your investment business case

  • Simulate advanced cost scenarios and financial forecasts of early production all the way through the testing phase.
  • Powerful modelling lets you understand the financial and operational impact of lead time, weather downtime, and resource availability.
  • Estimate time and production-based availability of construction and maintenance scenarios, and discover bottlenecks by identifying the root cause of production losses.

Extract reports and view dashboards

Reports reflect your needs and the formats that best suit your business

  • Produce and export easily digestible and interpretable reports for stakeholders, clients, and colleagues to best communicate findings and business cases at the click of a button.
  • Report on cost, production, progress, utilisation, and more.
  • Fully customisable dashboards allow for personalised views highlighting the most important data for each user and any given time.
  • Drag and drop to reorder charts, and apply flexible filters to narrow searches and focus outputs.

"Shoreline’s Con Design™ software allows us to compare different logistical solutions for the constructional phases of an offshore wind farm either at a high level or at a very detailed level depending on the client’s needs. We use the high-quality output in order to assess different logistical options and optimize the construction strategy with regard to risk and cost. The visualization of the installation processes and the comprehensive output section is key in the delivery of our client-centric results."
