1. What key selling points allow Fluitec to successfully sell predictive analytics to its
customers?
Answer: The gearbox is the most basic segment of wind turbines. Based on
contribution from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) gearbox failure studies, a
gearbox has about a 10 percent possibility of failure every year. Foreseeing and forestalling
such failure were a steady wellspring of worry for wind ranch proprietors, as gearbox
substitutions could cost in overabundance of $300,000. While forestalling such failure was
colossally significant to wind ranch proprietors and could permit much more prominent cost
reserve funds, in any event, foreseeing disappointment ahead of time could yield generous
So Fluetic wind can prevent the above scenario and, can lower the operation and
maintenance cost for the farm owners which is the main key selling point of Fluetic winds.
Answer : Fluitec could foresee, and perhaps forestall, gearbox failure. In any case,
improving the exactness of the prescient investigation and commercializing the item was
convoluted and loaded with specialized difficulties. As far as Fluitec's plan of action, ought
to Magnotti charge potential clients a for every wind turbine membership expense? Maybe he
could join forces with the suppliers of wind turbine greasing up oil substitutions to access
their business channels. Plainly, Fluitec confronted a large group of choices for going to
showcase. As Magnotti thought about these choices, he pondered which would give Fluitec
the absolute best at increasing fast appropriation in the breeze vitality showcase.
3. From the perspective of Fluitec Wind's customers: how can you justify investment in

predictive analytics? (Note: While the case highlights Fluitec offering its data analytics
an internal project.)
Answer: Fluitec Wind has helped the wind farm owners in increasing their profits by
reducing the operations and maintenance cost. By using their predictive analysis in the
wind farms they had to spent less amount of money in oil changes and also prevented
losses due to machine failure. Below attached is the testimonial of the client of Fluitec
Wind.
Shuaibah IWPP to extend the life of our turbine oils and avoid costly
This was the testimonial of Mr. Hairul Nizam Ismail the Technical Director of Shuibah
IWPP.
4. How can Fluitec Wind evaluate whether its product is beneficial? How can management
ensure data analytic thinking and evaluate whether the analytics in place add the greatest
possible value?
Answer: The gain in profitability of the wind farm owners proves the benefit of
Fluitec Winds . The same can be evaluated by calculating the difference in the amount of
profit before and after using Fluitec Winds solution. Fluitec wind also needed to think about
their product development. Because they need to continuously develop themselves in order to
stay in the market. “Solving the hard, technical problem of the analysis is never enough to turn it into a
profitable business; you need to turn it into a product that both the customer will pay for and you have
the core competency to maintain,” The following lines were said by the CEO of Fluitec Winds Mr Frank
Magnotti.
5. How can Fluitec Wind’s management team nurture a mentality of constant experimentation,

exploring novel data analytic approaches, while simultaneously keeping up with customer
administration was likewise worried about product improvement. Throughout the years,
Fluitec had changed its ability and capacities into a major information examination stage for
wind turbines. To change the investigation capacity and the information resource into an
item, Fluitec made Tribo-Analytics, a product as a help (SAAS) stage that made it simple for
clients to utilize and get to the prescient examination abilities. The stage permitted clients to
transfer their information, make cautions and for the most part screen the well being of their
wind turbines. The objective was to help the adaptability of the item by giving it through a
legitimately. The SAAS stage permitted clients to see their information at different degrees of
detail, from farm level totals to individual turbine-level measures. It likewise permitted
clients to contrast their own information and the business normal and progressively explicit
companion gatherings (e.g., turbines of comparable size and age in comparative areas) and
consolidate everything with master counsel on the best way to decipher the expectations. Be
that as it may, Fluitec expected to continually improve its foundation and extend its
usefulness. As Liekar noted, "We have such a large number of thoughts for new highlights to
execute that staying aware of it is a genuine test. Clients are continually requesting extra
usefulness."

he be able to offer free preliminaries? Maybe he could band together with the
would give Fluitec the absolute best at increasing quick selection in the wind
energy market.
7. Can Fluitec improve the accuracy of its predictive analytics by integrating additional data
sources? How can these additional data sources lead to an increased or sustained competitive
advantage?
Answer:The Fluitec Winds can improve the accuracy of its predictive analytics with
additional data sources because then they can have more number of combinations which can
help in improving the predictions. And the other big advantage of having more number of
data sources is that they can train their machine learning algorithm because in order to get
optimum result the more data you the better it is for the algorithm.
