Føn Energy Services, an independent service provider to the offshore wind industry, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Cognite, a provider of industrial software, to collaborate on the development of digital offerings within the operation and maintenance (O&M) segment of offshore wind.

As part of the partnership, Føn Energy Services intends to leverage Cognite's industrial data operations platform, Cognite Data Fusion®, to enable offshore wind farm operators to utilise industrial data for quick and secure collaboration in developing, operationalising, and scaling industrial AI solutions and applications to drive profitability, increase efficiency, reduce cost of offshore operations and ensure sustainability.

Føn Energy Services was launched in 2022, backed by Oslo-listed industrial investment company Akastor, which has the Aker group as its largest shareholder, and Norwegian industrial group IKM..

“Industrializing and digitizing O&M is a key reason behind why Føn was established. We see a significant need for reducing cost through doing more work onshore, significantly improving delivery quality, optimising the ’working time offshore’ and using data to reduce costs of unscheduled maintenance”, says Rahman Khanani, CEO of Føn Energy Services. Cognite Data Fusion® will allow us to digitise our processes, reduce OPEX for our customers while reducing the cost of lost production.

Cognite is a global industrial SaaS company that has been established to empower industrial companies with contextualised, trustworthy, and accessible data to help drive the full-scale digital transformation of asset-heavy industries around the world.  

"At Cognite, we are heavily focusing on our Asset Performance Management (APM) offering as a critical component in helping industrial companies develop a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable future," said IngarLandet, VP of Business Development, Power & Renewables at Cognite. "Our collaboration with Føn Energy Services will allow us to combine our APM offering towards Offshore Wind owners with Føn Energy Services' domain knowledge and cost-efficient O&M solutions to deliver a joint digital offering that benefits the offshore wind industry.
