Wind Turbines:

Traditional Methods Challenges: 

• Safety High Risk – Inspections require the presence of personnel in harsh conditions.

• • Limited Visibility – Ground inspections miss micro-cracks, erosion, and internal defects.

• Remote Locations – Remote wind farms are difficult and expensive to access.

With Drone Technology:

• Wind farm development – pre-installation survey for planning.
• Digital Twins for predictive maintenance – 3D georeferenced models.
• Blade inspections using high resolution RGB cameras detecting cracks, leading-edge erosion, delamination, corrosion/paint degradation maps with annotated defects and timestamps.
• Environment impact monitoring – bird migration patterns and vegetation health, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
• Cleaning, corrosion control, rust prevention & coating.
