01The challenge

Management followed the business in Power BI, but wind farm data (temperature and wind speed per site) was locked in a monitoring system behind a VPN.

Copying it by hand every hour wasn’t realistic, and there was no API to integrate with.

02What the bot does

  1. Every hour it connects to the VPN and opens the monitoring system.
  2. For each site it reads temperature and wind speed, waiting if a value is still loading.
  3. It builds a CSV with time, site and coordinates.
  4. It uploads the file to cloud storage over encrypted SFTP, where Power BI picks it up.

03The result

Readings reach Power BI 24 times a day, 365 days a year. Management follows the wind farm in the same tool as the rest of the business, with no manual steps.
