vHive has introduced a new platform for offshore wind turbine inspections. The platform allows companies to use off-the-shelf drones for autonomous inspections.
This technology aims to reduce costs and enable companies to manage inspections in-house without third-party contractors. The platform utilises computer vision and machine learning technologies to support data capture and generate digital twin models for operational analysis. This can help prioritise maintenance, reduce downtime, and extend turbine lifespan. The platform is versatile, suitable for both onshore and offshore turbines, and supports compact drones.
