Wind turbines are highly subject to structural damage due to heavy usage and harsh operating conditions. Early detection of faults through periodic inspections and servicing results in improved performance, safety, and lifespan.
Meet the Inspekt
A flying robotic system designed to carry out physical work at altitude. Combining hardware and software innovation, the Inspekt interacts with it's surroundings to operate with the dexterity of a human.
Interchangeable sensor and tools allows the Inspekt to autonomously conduct tasks such as sub-surface non-destructive testing (NDT) and aerodynamic cleaning.
Coordinated flight algorithm allows the Inspekt to conduct automated scans of the entire structure in order to detect surface and sub-surface damage.
Our cloud-based Client Portal turns raw data into actionable information.
One of the key capabilities enabled by the Inspekt is the collection of internal structural data through the use of ultrasonic (UT) probes.
UT probes are like X-rays, very effective in identifying sub-surface structural damages. But they are tricky to use as it require physical contact with the turbine blade surface. While UT inspection is standard practice in manufacturing setting, it sees limited use in the field.
Inspekt's ability to touch and glide on the turbine surface unlocks this capability for use in the field, making off-the-shelf UT technology scalable and automated.

Besides UT, the the ability to touch the turbine blade can be used to automate common services.
Utilizing special robotic tools designed for our machine, the Inspekt can also take other actions to keep the turbine blades running in the best shape.
The Inspekt works autonomously from base stations installed around a wind farm. With it's software and sensor suite, the system takes care of labor intensive work, on demand and fully automated.
Our online portal allows clients to access inspection data of their fleet through any internet-enabled device.
Clients can access historical reports for each individual blade of their wind farm, triage damages with various stake holders, and make key decisions on how and when to intervene in a problem to optimize repair and extend blade life.
With better and more frequent inspection and services, the wind farm operators can make better repair and maintenance decisions. By extending blade life, the operators can expect to reduce the probability of replacing a turbine blade, saving large portions of the wind turbines lifetime O&M cost.
The Inspekt platform is a turn-key solution for thorough blade inspection using both visual and ultrasonic NDT inspection methods
Our fully automated system installed on the farms takes care of the inspection and service process of all turbines
Our cloud-based Client Portal provides a compete historical data record of all past inspections. This allows both wind farm owners and manufactures the ability to track the progression of damages and make more informed decisions.
