While observing wind industry operations, Ole-Erik discovered a need for a fundamental re-design of key aspects of the renewable energy asset management process at every stage of the wind farm lifecycle. Increasing efficiency and interconnectivity across operations, Ole-Erik reasoned, would enable the entire industry to scale its activities and sustainably deploy renewable energy around the world quicker and with less resource utilization.
To achieve such game-changing goals, Ole-Erik posited that the industry needed to make a giant, quantum leap from ‘good-enough’ silo-based processes to deploying an industry equivalent of NextGen ERP systems.
Ole-Erik also proposed that simply consolidating information islands wasn’t sufficient to achieve optimal results. A truly workable, industry-specific solution that would incorporate intelligent simulation technology was the magic ingredient needed to increase deployment capability far beyond what even customized ERP systems are capable of delivering.
Spring-boarding from this theory, Ole-Erik and energy industry leading expert Michael Bjerrum officially established Shoreline in 2014. By 2017, the company’s SaaS products were already positioned as the industry standard in full lifecycle simulation solutions.
Today, most of the wind industry’s leading companies are utilizing Shoreline’s solutions and realizing significant development, operations and maintenance costs savings while increasing production.
