Simplify Geodata Management in Offshore Wind

Webinar Recap: Simplifying Ocean Data Management for Offshore Wind

[00:00] - Introduction (Natalia Bueno)

Natalia welcomed attendees, reminding them the session was recorded and questions could be asked via chat. She introduced the speakers, Jann Wendt (CEO and Co-Founder) and Simon van der Wulp (Solutions Engineer) from north.io, who would discuss ocean data management challenges and demonstrate their platform.

[00:01] - Industry Insights (Jann Wendt)

Jann highlighted the growing importance of ocean data management in offshore wind energy, explaining how ocean infrastructure is becoming increasingly data-driven. He noted the rise of autonomous systems and the need for new technologies to handle the complexities of data growth and format standardisation. TrueOcean, north.io’s platform, was introduced as a scalable solution for managing petabytes of ocean data, simplifying collaboration, visualisation, and automation of raw sensor data.

[00:11] - Platform Demo (Simon van der Wulp)

Simon demonstrated how TrueOcean organises ocean data into projects, showcasing the platform’s ease of access, secure collaboration, and ability to handle and share large data sets via SFTP and RSYNC. He illustrated how the platform processes and visualises complex data formats like multibeam, sidescan sonar, and seismic data, allowing users to preview and manage raw data effectively. The geospatial search feature is one of the platform's highlights, enabling users to locate data across projects quickly.

[00:26] - Key Features & Benefits

The platform supports vector and raster data, enables real-time collaboration on cloud-based maps, and offers tools like measurement and weather forecast integration. Users can also access and share data easily via WMS links, and the platform is adaptable for both cloud and private deployments, making it cost-efficient and secure.

[00:31] - Q&A Highlights

Key questions addressed the platform's ability to handle raw sensor data, the potential for metadata editing, and its role in big data management for offshore wind. Jann emphasised the platform's scalability and future AI integrations for automation, raw data processing, and enhanced workflow efficiency.

[00:42] - Closing Remarks & Offer (Jann Wendt)

Jann invited attendees to upload sample data for a personalized data report and a free private deployment trial of the TrueOcean platform. He underscored north.io’s commitment to supporting organisations in optimising ocean data workflows while ensuring compliance with upcoming European cybersecurity regulations.
