Oslo, Norway - Føn Energy Services, an independent service provider to the offshore wind industry, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Cognite, a global leader in 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 utilize industrial data for quick and secure collaboration in developing, operationalizing, and scaling industrial AI solutions and applications to drive profitability and sustainability.

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, optimizing the ’working time offshore’ and using data to reduce costs of unscheduled maintenance
