📦 Work Package Grouping

What the update is:
You can now create, edit, and delete work package groups, and assign multiple work packages under a single grouped structure. These groups show up with a clear hierarchy in dropdowns across the platform.

Who is it for:
Primarily for project managers dealing with large or multi-package projects — especially during construction – that handle many projects under one umbrella.

What does the update mean:
This update saves significant admin time and simplifies project organization. Instead of juggling separate dropdowns and setup workflows, everything is centralized — making permissions, navigation, and project creation much more efficient.


📊 Activity & Adverse Event Category Reporting

What the update is:
You now have visibility over all activity and adverse event categories in project reports — not just those used on a specific day. If no work package is selected, the full list appears by default. You can also include or exclude categories just like with consumption.

Who is it for:
Teams who need to generate comprehensive project reports for contractual or operational reporting, especially those required to track categories that may not be logged daily.

What does the update mean:
This update helps reduce manual work in Excel and ensures reporting formats align with contract requirements — boosting user satisfaction and retention.


🔄 On-Demand Data Filling for Reports

What the update is:
DPRs (Daily Progress Reports) and other reports are now created without automatically pulling in data. Instead, a “Fill data” button lets you manually load the relevant information. Each activity section also includes a "Fill from another report” option, which allows you to selectively pull in data from a specific report — rather than loading everything you have access to across the system.

Who is it for:
All users responsible for creating or reviewing DPRs — especially those needing more precision in where report data is sourced from.

What does the update mean:
This gives you more control and accuracy in how reports are built. It saves time by avoiding unnecessary data loading, and improves reporting quality by letting you pick exactly which report to pull data from.


🧰 Work Order Template Upgrades in Sequences

What the update is:
You can now add checklists and bill of materials (BoM) directly into work order templates used within work order sequences.

Who is it for:
Field service planners, maintenance leads, and operations managers who rely on standardized procedures and materials across recurring work orders.

What does the update mean:
This makes it possible to standardize execution and ensure nothing is missed across sequences of work. It also saves time by automating what used to be manual steps — ensuring consistent checklists and required parts are always included.

New feature highlight: weather on custom route waypoints 🌦️

· 3 min read

Model with weather along the routes in simulation

We're excited to launch Weather Along the Route, a powerful new feature in our simulation platform.

  • It delivers dynamic, route-specific weather forecasts for vessels—from long-haul transits to final site approach.

  • Enables you to efficiently plan projects, with real-time conditions integrated into routing.

  • Accurately estimate weather-related downtime and improve reliability in scheduling.

This release sets a new benchmark for logistics and operational planning across energy projects.

Current limitation:

The simulations only considers weather at the port for port activities, and wind farm weather for transit and task. This creates a blind spot. Especially for long-haul transits where vessels pass through regions with drastically changing weather. Leading to underestimated waiting time and inaccurate downtime forecasting.

Whats New:

With this release, simulations now account for the vessel’s direction and evaluate weather conditions at every waypoint along the route by applying the selected weather file from the current waypoint to the next.

This improvement specifically applies to vessels using the process builder, such as towing vessels and Heavy Lift Vessels (HLVs). These vessel types often face complex, multi-leg transits where realistic sea conditions are critical.

In the process builder, all transit processes should now include a new parameter:
max wait time on waypoint

This setting allows you to define how long a vessel can pause at a waypoint waiting for suitable weather before proceeding. It works similarly to the max wait before start between two process steps:

Key Benefits:

By accounting for weather conditions across the entire route, this feature delivers significantly more accurate transit and downtime estimates. That improved precision strengthens project planning, business cases, informs smarter logistical decisions, and helps ensure schedules stay on track.

Technical Overview:

As an enhancement to the existing route planner, the weather on route option allows you to add weather and the power law exponent options to the existing latitude, longitude, wait time and speed limit parameters.

Which means:

  • The simulation now reflects changing weather conditions along the entire journey, not just at the port and wind farm.
  • Defined waypoints ensure the vessel’s route and direction of travel are accurately represented.
  • You can model more realistic scenarios — especially for long transits where weather can vary significantly between waypoints.
  • By using actual weather files at each waypoint, the model can account for delays and waiting time if poor conditions are expected ahead.
  • The power-law exponent lets you adjust how wind speed changes with height, providing more accurate vessel speed and travel time estimates.

Together, these updates make your simulations more precise and much closer to real-world operations.
