Israeli software developer vHive has launched a tool designed to enhance wind turbine inspections.
The use of the technology reduces downtime and improves operational efficiency by removing the need to repeatedly rotate the blades to inspect each of them independently, vHive said.
Previously, capturing wind turbine field data involved climbing, ground-based zoom photos and manual drone piloting.
Tomer Daniel, Co-Founder and CTO at vHive, said: “With ample room for growth in this rapidly expanding industry, wind farm operators continually seek cutting-edge technologies to enhance their efficiency.
“Our autonomous data acquisition and innovative Digital Twin platform offer a significant advantage over traditional methods, allowing wind farm operators to strategically digitize their assets, improve operational efficiency and minimize output degradation.”
