Wärtsilä launches SceneScan, the first targetless laser sensor for offshore wind farms
Wärtsilä Corporation, Trade press release, 14 November 2018 at 10 am EETSceneScan Monopole is the first laser sensor developed for offshore wind farm applications where the need for installing fixed reflective targets is eliminated.
