The blades of your wind turbine are prone to multiple types of damage and this is best observed from the inside. Avoid potential harsh damage in advance with internal inspection. Aerones robotic crawler will give you an interactive 360 overview of your blades and deeper insight with Lidar 3D point cloud. The new approach is cheaper, safer, and faster.

Weather is one of the main reasons for missed milestones and delays in the wind turbine services industry. Most service suppliers are unable to conduct their work during days with bad weather, yet they tend to invoice for all accrued weather days that put a project on hold. Using autonomous drones for blade inspections increases the number of blades that can be inspected per day. In addition, drones are less affected by weather compared to conventional inspection methods. During 2022,…

In the past, turbine inspection crews have relied on various tools to get a closer look at blades: binoculars, ropes, high-definition ground cameras. But these approaches have limitations in terms of accuracy, safety and then there’s expensive downtime. Today, automated visual inspection technologies have replaced these methods. Operators know that regular and proactive investigations are the best way to identify damage and maintain equipment for the long term. Drones are a dynamic, safe and efficient way to carry out routine…
