ZX 300M Offshore FPSO Wind Lidar
Vertical Wind Profiling for Offshore Oil & Gas Operations
The ZX 300M – Offshore FPSO Wind Lidar is a high-accuracy vertical wind profiling system configured for installation on FPSOs and offshore oil & gas assets. The system delivers reliable, real-time wind measurements to support safe helicopter operations, lifting activities and safety-critical deck operations.
Measuring wind speed and direction from 10 to 300 metres above sea level, the ZX 300M from ZX Lidars provides essential vertical wind data for operational decision-making in complex offshore environments.
Configured for Offshore Oil & Gas Applications
Offshore oil & gas installations operate in harsh and highly regulated environments where dependable wind data is critical. The Offshore FPSO configuration is suited for:
- FPSOs and turret-moored vessels
- Fixed offshore platforms
- Helideck wind monitoring
- Crane and heavy lift operations
- SIMOPS environments
- Continuous marine deployment
The system is supplied in an offshore-ready configuration with stainless steel external components suitable for long-term marine exposure.
Supporting Safe Offshore Operations
Helideck Monitoring
Accurate vertical wind profiling improves situational awareness during helicopter approach and landing by identifying wind shear and turbulence above deck level.
The ZX 300M can be delivered as part of a complete Helideck Monitoring System, integrated with WISE Group’s data acquisition and visualisation platform to provide real-time wind information to offshore crews and onshore operations centres.
Lifting & Marine Operations
Wind conditions directly influence crane operations and over-side lifting. Real-time vertical profiling reduces uncertainty and supports safer planning and execution of heavy lifts and marine logistics.
Environmental & Metocean Monitoring
The ZX 300 can be integrated into broader Environmental Monitoring Systems, forming part of a comprehensive offshore metocean monitoring solution.
Integrated with DADAS & DADAS-PB
The ZX 300M interfaces seamlessly with DADAS, WISE Group’s data acquisition and monitoring software, and with DADAS-PB for offshore data handling and communication.
This enables:
- Real-time data visualisation
- Alarm handling and threshold monitoring
- Historical data logging and reporting
- Secure remote access for onshore support
By integrating wind lidar measurements into the wider monitoring ecosystem, wind data becomes fully operational and actionable rather than standalone.
