HAWART Sondermaschinenbau GmbH: Smart transport of blade and tower sections in The Windfair Newsletter
Ganderkesee, 02.11.2011. The handling of very large and costly steel parts and rotor blades demands not only robust and reliable transportation equipment but also persistent logistic information along with it.
Since 1987 HAWART, as a leading supplier of transportation equipment and devices, now integrates for
the first time innovative telematic devices based on self-sustaining GPS modules sending not only the current position of a rotor blade, mould or other production equipment but also the current condition can be monitored. For example it is than possible to locate the rotor blade transport system as well as the information whether it is loaded or not.
Besides the identification of the device it will also be possible to monitor and storage circumstances that could have damaged the blade on transportation. This can be a very helpful piece of information for carriers or insurance companies in order to identify the originator of the damage. All data send by the production or transport device can be monitored and mapped.
The telematic unit is working on battery and has a durability of up to eight years. The telematic device is integrated into the steal frame of the transportation cradle or can be retrofitted to existing ones. This innovative approach will surely help to bring logistic costs down and information levels up on the rotor blade or tower section handling and production process.
