New Computational Drone Enables Accurate Monitoring of Wind Energy Parks
The computational drone presented by Arthwind during the Brazil Windpower 2022 features a technology that allows for smoother and more stable flights than conventional models. As a result, control is more practical, fast, and efficient during the inspection of the quality of wind turbine blades.
Furthermore, the new drone has great battery autonomy, allowing continuous use for many hours. Its camera has exceptional resolution, capable of showing all the fine details regarding the maintenance needs of the blades. According to Armando, this new model can reduce wind tower downtime due to maintenance needs by up to ten times.
The drone is equipped with a robotic structure that allows for closer monitoring of specific components, with greater efficiency. In this sense, the drone is monitored and controlled by a highly sensitive software. Therefore, this new device can bring cost reductions in maintenance due to predictive capabilities and also by reducing downtime.
About Arthwind
Arthwind is a company that has existed since 2017 and has always been very focused on the inspection, monitoring, consulting, and auditing of the quality of wind energy parks. In other words, it is a major company providing oversight services on the quality of the machinery, preventing long-term losses.
With a robust team focused on technology and innovation, the company launched its computational drone, which promises to be a revolution in the national market. After all, the company has significant expertise in blade manufacturing, and therefore, a more precise analysis of the blades needing inspection and maintenance.
