Our products
Vortexmundus® specializes in Data Intelligence developed to enhance decision-making in offshore operations, including the Oil and Gas sector, Offshore Wind, Ports and Coastal Operations.
Operational windows are periods when metocean conditions are suitable for safe and efficient operations at sea.
​
Effective planning of these operations, based on accurate weather forecasts, allows optimization of these windows, reducing costs by avoiding the need to interrupt or postpone operations due to unfavorable weather conditions.
​
In this context, VortexMundus has developed 3 products for calculating operational windows, considering different applications and temporal scales for the marine operations supply chain.
VOOW (Vortex Offshore Operational Window)
Through Big Data analysis and advanced statistical methods, VOOW estimates the number of operational windows (up time) for each month of the year. Metocean variables such as wind, waves, and currents are combined with vessel operational limits to generate monthly estimates of operational windows. VOOW enhances competitiveness in bidding processes, improves asset allocation, and assists in long-term planning and analyses
SOW (Seasonal Operational Window)
While VOOW considers climatological averages in its analyses, SOW analyzes metoceanographic trends for the coming months. SOW takes into account intra-annual variability, providing greater accuracy in the medium term. For example, during El Niño years, wave directions may change. Through climate indices and typical patterns, SOW updates operational windows over a 3 to 6 month horizon.
WONS (Weather Operational Nowcast System)
WONS is a wind, wave and current forecast for day-to-day operations.
WONS is a hyper-local intelligent forecast system with a horizon of up to 15 days. It provides all the meteorological and oceanographic information required by the operations team to make daily decisions. Vortex Mundus has developed a system based on machine learning that increases the accuracy of forecasts by up to 20%.
The Operations Monitoring service can be contracted together with WONS.
