Automated Wind Turbine Blade Diagnostics

The Problem

An offshore wind farm operator was facing high costs and safety risks associated with manual rope-access inspections.

• • Manual inspection took 4-6 hours per turbine
• • High safety risk for technicians
• • Weather windows were often missed due to slow deployment

They needed a faster, safer way to monitor blade health.

The Solution

Indavian deployed autonomous drones capable of flying pre-programmed vertical scans of each blade.

The drones captured 100MP images of all blade surfaces. Our AI Fault Analytics platform then processed these images to identify leading-edge erosion, lightning strikes, and delamination.
