Bureau Veritas has signed a co-operation agreement with Cornis, a provider of wind turbine blade inspections and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.
Through this partnership, Bureau Veritas will offer Advanced Blade Inspection (ABI) services based on in-situ data collection and digital processing of images to wind farm owners and operators. ABI uses HD cameras to scan the external surface of a blade, while an automated AI tool recognises and measures defects on the blade surface using a database of more than 30,000 blades. The type and severity of any defects are presented on a web-based platform.
