AI Wind Turbine Inspection Perceptual Robotics
Perceptual Robotics introduces new AI-driven damage classification and offshore services, enhancing wind energy inspection capabilities.
Perceptual Robotics, a leader in advanced inspection solutions for large infrastructures, is set to transform the energy industry with its latest innovations. The company has unveiled AI-driven recommendations for damage severity classification, launched comprehensive offshore services, and introduced EVE—a mini drone version of their flagship Dhalion DOT system. These advancements are poised to significantly enhance the wind energy sector.
AI Severity Classification and Damage Projections
Perceptual Robotics’ new AI-driven damage detection system offers groundbreaking capabilities by suggesting damage type and severity. This innovation ensures consistency, saves time, and reduces human error. Additionally, the Repair Now Ratio can predict how damages affect Annual Energy Production (AEP) over time, prioritizing repairs efficiently. This approach aims to revolutionize repair management, making the process faster, smarter, and more reliable.
Offshore Services: Extending Excellence to Offshore Environments
Perceptual Robotics is now offering offshore inspection services, deploying advanced drones and AI technology. This service allows for detailed monitoring without extensive human presence, enhancing safety, reducing operational costs, and increasing efficiency. By extending their market-leading onshore AI solutions offshore, Perceptual Robotics ensures consistent, high-quality results. Their dedicated operations team delivers inspections globally, speeding up processes and maximizing turbine uptime.
Introducing EVE: Streamlined Wind Farm Inspections
The introduction of EVE, a portable mini drone, marks a significant advancement in wind turbine inspections. Designed for rapid deployment, EVE is compact and easy to transport, making it ideal for quick, ad hoc inspections following storms or emergencies. This ensures timely maintenance without waiting for scheduled campaigns. EVE leverages the advanced technology of the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, integrated with AI for damage detection and classification. This solution provides actionable insights within 48 hours on the Dhalion platform, facilitating swift decision-making in repair strategies.
CEO Statement
“AI-driven technologies are fundamentally changing how we manage wind assets,” said Kostas Karachalios, CEO of Perceptual Robotics. “Our ability to suggest damage severity and predict maintenance needs not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures the resilience of energy infrastructure. EVE, our portable mini drone, further simplifies and accelerates inspection processes, becoming an indispensable tool for wind farm managers. Additionally, our offshore services extend these capabilities to remote locations, ensuring consistent and efficient inspections across wind farms worldwide.”
Company Mission and Future Plans
Perceptual Robotics aims to create innovative solutions to industry challenges, making complex processes simple and effective by delivering reliable performance and actionable results. Looking ahead, the company plans to expand into new geographies and markets, contributing to a more sustainable future and enhancing efficiency in renewable energy sectors globally.
