We're excited to introduce several improvements to the Defects module in this release:

Conflict warnings for Defect resolution time​

When planning an activity on a work order linked to a defect a warning now appears on the Planning Board timeline if the activity's end date exceeds the defect’s resolution time. A similar warning is shown on the Work Order page if the work order finish date exceeds the defect’s resolution time.

Quick access to Defects from Work Orders​

You can now open a defect directly from its associated work order, making it easier to access relevant information without navigating away.

New Defect charts for better insights​

The Defects module now includes powerful visualizations to help you monitor and analyze trends:

• Defects by Priority
• Defects by Status
• Defects by Type
• Defects by Asset and Type

We are excited to introduce several enhancements across the platform in this release.

Planning​

A new SimOps warning has been introduced in the planning board. If multiple activities or work orders are scheduled at the same location simultaneously, a warning will now appear.

Inventory​

You can now set equipment as picked up and dropped off while also specifying the condition of the equipment at the time of drop-off.

Defects​

When setting up defect types, you can now customize the default priority of the defect and whether the defect type is classified as hazardous.

We are excited to introduce several enhancements across the platform in this release.

  • When resolving conflicts in a rotation, a tooltip now displays the associated work package for context.
• Improvements to skills on personnel profiles
  • The skills table has two new columns showing Last changed by and Last changed at.
  • Sort by any skill column, providing a better overview.
  • The Skill groups section now displayes skills within each group by Status, showing the valid skills in a group at the top, followed by Expiring soon and Expired skills.
• Search improvements
  • The search functionality on the Teams page now aligns with the search behavior in the Personnel and Resource Calendar sections.
• Manpower plan export readability improvement
  • A new separator appears between each team in the Excel sheet, improving readability.

Reports​

  • Long remarks and internal remarks are now fully visible in a tooltip.
• Activity ID
  • Add an activity ID to report templates and individual reports.
• Company logo
  • Your company logo appears on reports and aggregated PDF downloads.
  • You first need to add a logo to your Execution account.

Work orders​

• Make work packages mandatory
  • A new admin setting lets you set whether a work package is mandatory when creating work orders.
  • Web only; mobile support coming soon.
• Approval state filter
  • Sort work orders by Draft, Pending, Signed, and Rejected states.
• Duplicate work order warning
  • When creating a new work order, you will receive a warning of potentially creating a duplicate of any exisiting work orders.
  • Duplicates are flagged where existing work orders have the same connections, priorioty, and type.

Activities​

• Mandatory fields setting
  • Admins can now specify whether a work package and/or work order is mandatory when creating activities.
  • Web only; mobile support coming soon.
• Persistent filters
  • Filters applied on the Activities page are now saved when you leave and return to the page, as was already the case in other Execution sections.

Work packages​

• New option to remove personnel
  • You can now remove personnel from a work package.

Enhanced custom CV Creation​

We have upgraded the Personnel CVs, offering greater flexibility and personalisation.

You can now customise CV content by selecting options such as excluding photos and names, as well as specifying the desired level of experience and skill set.

New rotation conflict resolution option​

When creating or updating a rotation, you now have the option to "Ignore conflicts", allowing overlapping rotations to be scheduled.

Status on team positions​

You can now set a status on positions on a team in the team composition section to indicate if a position is pending confirmation, confirmed unassigned or see positions that are assigned.

Output dashboard split view​

The output dashboard is now split into two tabs: one tab for the data that is sampled across all runs (Statistical), and one tab with the data from a specific run picked based on the duration of the run or task group of the run (Run-specific).

This feature is only used for construction cases for now, which use specific runs to display timeline data (S-curve and inventory stock levels).

Sort run-based data by project or task group​

For run-based data, you can choose how the runs are sorted. By default, runs are ranked based on the duration of the whole project (Project option). But you can chose to rank runs based on the end date of any of the tasks you add to your assets in the case (Task group option).

Example​

In a project with installation and commissioning, you can rank runs based on installation end date instead of the project end date, which is when the last commissioning task is done.

View output dashboard graph explanations​

Each graph in the output dashboard has an info button which explains what the graph displays.

Tow-to-port operations with PBA loss calculations​

You can now model tow-to-port operations with advanced precision:

• Compute PBA loss on the remaining WTGs in a string during tow-to-port operations.
• A new toggle in the Corrective Maintenance tab allows you to include or exclude PBA loss calculations across the string based on your modeling preferences.

Logistic lead time inputs for towing vessels​

Add lead time durations for towing vessels to model more accurate scheduling and downtime calculations.

Charter starts after vessel's lead time in Design Shoresim.

• Vessel charters now span multiple work orders without requiring lead time resets after each round trip.
• Lead time applies only at the start of the charter period, enabling uninterrupted operations.

Continuous towing in/out modeling​

You can now model a scenario where towing vessels towing an asset back to the wind farm can pick up another for MCR during the return trip.

Enable this feature by selecting the new Allow Continuous Disconnection option on towing vessel instances.

• Shoresim now prioritizes available chartered vessels before initiating new charters, reducing redundancy and costs.
• Vessel charters remain active during towing-in and towing-out phases to avoid operational gaps. Enhanced coordination for multiple towing vessels ensures charters end only after their respective operations are complete.
• Towing operation days are calculated only for the period between mobilization and demobilization.

Corrective maintenance hotfix​

You can now import corrective maintenance tasks using the Input library > Assets > Import assets button or through the Scheduled maintenance tab on an asset.

Input library > Assets > Import assets

Scheduled Maintenance tab

Color-coded skills matrix​

We've added colors to the skills matrix download to make it easier to see the status of the skills (Valid, Expired, Expiring Soon, Pending).

Manage work packages from the resource calendar​

When accessing a work package from a rotation or work schedule in the resource calendar, it now opens in an overlay window. This allows you to view and edit the work package details while keeping the resource calendar in the background for easy navigation when you’re done.

New corrective maintenance tab​

As part of ongoing efforts to improve user experience, performance, and scalability, the Corrective Maintenance tab - Design O&M has been updated with a modernized layout.

Key Enhancements:

• Data has been migrated 1:1 from the old framework to a new, modern framework.
• All input data and core functionalities for corrective maintenance remain the same
• The updated design delivers a more intuitive and visually modern experience with consistency in design and workflow.

Expected Benefits:

• Users will experience improved performance within the Corrective Maintenance tab.
• This release lays the groundwork for further enhancements to scalability and usability, with additional improvements planned in upcoming releases.

We hope these changes contribute to a smoother and more efficient experience on the platform. Please reach out to the support team with any feedback or questions regarding this update.

Planned improvements in future releases:

• Users will only be able to save new tasks in the Corrective Maintenance tab once all required inputs are completed and validated for each task. Currently, the error notification does not indicate which specific tasks or fields need correction. In the next release, this will be improved to provide more detailed guidance for user corrections.
• Improvement in general error and warnings notifications

Helicopter daylight restrictions​

Users can now toggle the daylight restriction setting on or off under the Weather Criteria tab for helicopter logistics.

• Default Setting: ON, maintaining the current daylight restriction application.
• New Option: OFF, allowing helicopter operations based solely on weather conditions, independent of daylight restrictions.

Map updates​

You can now view all waypoints for all routes modeled using the Route Planner feature directly on the main application map in Design.

Users will get a comprehensive, visual overview of route details within each case, improving route planning and navigation visibility.

Custom compensations​

You can now configure custom compensations, such as meal allowances or position-specific add-ons, and allocate these to eligible team members during timesheet approvals.

These compensations are seamlessly integrated into timesheet downloads and the Timesheets API, allowing for easier payroll processing and accurate financial reporting.

Delete rotations​

Rotations can now be deleted directly within the Resource calendar, enabling you to easily delete a Personnel's rotation, without navigating to the Personnel's profile.

Exclude Activities from from DPRs​

Activities can now be excluded from your daily progress reports' “Needs Attention” section.
