SEGULA Technologies, industrial partner of WIND my ROOF
SEGULA Technologies is a global group and one of France's leading engineering companies. Active in several industrial fields, they offer their expertise to innovative start-ups via a support program called HeXplora, of which WIND my ROOF is now a part.
As part of our open innovation approach, we are keen to support companies and start-ups offering effective solutions to accelerate the energy transition. We were quickly won over by the WIND my ROOF project, which stood out for its simplicity and maturity.
Behind the scenes of building wind turbine assembly
Segula Technologies has supported WIND my ROOF in the production of its first eight rooftop wind turbines. SIMRA teams are in charge of assembly.
In a dedicated area of the Saint-Nazaire workshop, two assembly technicians follow detailed assembly instructions for the WindBox. Initially taking ten hours to assemble, rationalization efforts have reduced assembly time to eight hours per module, or one WindBox per day. Another area is dedicated to the production of concrete blocks, which are used to hold the WindBoxes in place on roofs, depending on the project.
For Yanis, Technical Director and co-founder, and Quentin, Mechanical Engineer at WIND my ROOF, it's a further step in the startup's development.
We're ready to receive large orders, as the turbines can be assembled quickly and can leave the site directly. The team is very well organized, and it's a pleasure to work with the SIMRA team.
This first series is part of an industrialization process with the Segula Technologies group. An assembly series of 100 modules is already in preparation for future WIND my ROOF projects.
