Case Study: ewz achieves centralized cloud-based wind-farm management and real-time visibility with Open Systems

New Centralized Cloud-Based Management Pushes Wind Power Into the Future

ewz, the municipal utility of the City of Zurich that operates multiple wind farms across Europe, faced limited visibility and fragmented data that made predictive maintenance and efficient multi‑farm management difficult and costly. To centralize operations and gain better analytics, ewz engaged Open Systems’ Data Science Professional Services to design a cloud-based monitoring and management solution.

Open Systems built a secure, centralized cloud platform that aggregates near‑real‑time turbine sensor data, applies AI/ML analytics, and provides an accessible interface through an iterative co‑creation process. The result is 360° visibility of operations, faster recognition of abnormalities and quicker on‑site responses, a shift from reactive maintenance to productivity improvements, reduced costs and downtime, and stronger financial planning and reporting for ewz — all delivered by Open Systems.
