In wind energy, clarity is everything. When technicians are working at height, inspecting blades, or maintaining critical systems, every detail counts. Yet too often, written updates in work orders can leave room for misinterpretation.

Modern renewable operations are complex. Each site runs a mix of turbines, inverters, transformers, and substations all generating alarms.

Struggling with inaccurate or incomplete travel records? Manual travel logs and spreadsheets often lead to errors, lost information, and compliance risks. KUDO’s travel logging feature simplifies how field teams record journeys, providing automatic tracking, geolocation, instant updates, and exportable reports. Stay audit-ready, reduce admin time, and ensure health and safety compliance with reliable, accurate travel logs.

Onshore wind sites move fast. Missed updates can mean real safety risks. With KUDO, teams log hazards in seconds and alert everyone instantly with Site Broadcasts. Clear, proactive communication keeps workers safe and operations running smoothly.

Change can feel a bit risky, especially when it involves systems that your team relies on every day. At KUDO, we understand that moving to a new platform might sound like a big job.

Sometimes it takes just one small thing to expose the cracks in the systems we rely on too much: a missing induction, a lost worker order.

Worried about switching software? Meet Stephen and Scott, KUDO’s expert Customer Success Managers who make onboarding smooth, tailored, and stress-free—so you can transition with confidence and zero downtime.

Imagine arriving on-site, ready to start the day, only to be told you can’t proceed. Your induction has expired, and without it you’re not allowed to continue on-site. While you spend time trying to get it sorted, time keeps moving and the job starts falling behind schedule.  

I know it’s starting to sound a little ridiculous how much bother I’ve got into on-site by now, but unfortunately, that’s just the reality of working on-site! On another of my site visits years ago, I was making my way across the site on foot and was looking to try and save some time. I spotted a fence which I was able to climb over to take a bit of a shortcut. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the fence was electrically charged to help keep in the livestock, and it certainly ga

Achieving compliance with the Wind Turbine Safety Rules is no small feat and for most companies, it involves far more than reading a rulebook.

If you’re responsible for keeping teams safe on-site, the pressure can be immense, especially in the case of an emergency. Imagine a fire is rampaging through a site, and you’re working within the nacelle, with no clue of what’s going on outside. The control room is trying to phone everyone to get them off site, but it just so happens your surname starts with the letter V. It'll be a while before they get to you. Unaware and working away, you don’t find out until it’s too la

Working in remote locations comes with risks, including the challenge of ensuring workers can call for help when needed.

Working on remote sites comes with a wide variety of risks, and sometimes, what should be a routine day can take a dangerous turn. 

Imagine arriving at a remote work site, prepared to start an important task, only to encounter one delay after another. You soon discover your site induction has expired, and your employment details need updating. Before you can even alert the site team of your arrival, you’re caught up in a seven-minute phone queue just to get booked on. As you’re finally getting ready to proceed, you learn that the work required is more complex than planned, and the Risk Assessment and Meth
