Autonomous drone inspection: AI enables, for the first time, customers to perform independent automated drone inspections. An international patent-protected technology for visual inspection and contactless lightning protection measurement for on- and offshore wind turbines.
TOPseven uses autonomous flying drones to inspect infrastructure. This technology is the only one, worldwide that enables the autonomous close-range drone flight required for this purpose. It is the only solution that enables gapless inspection of even larger infrastructures up to the resolution of a single human hair.
Die innovative TOPseven-Technologie ermöglicht der energy consult Prüfgesellschaft effiziente und hochqualitative drohnenbasierte visuelle Inspektionen und Blitzschutzprüfungen an den Rotorblättern von Windenergieanlagen. Dies erfolgt mit eigener Drohne und eigenem Personal, da bei der Lösung von TOPseven erstmals keine spezialisierten Piloten mehr erforderlich sind: Vor dem Inspektionsflug wird mittels patentierter Technologie eine exakte Flugroute berechnet, so dass die Drohne die Anlage autonom abfliegt.
The Ministry of Economics of the State of Lower Saxony is funding TOPseven for the project “AI-based autonomous drone inspection of inaccessible infrastructures” with a total of 4.8 million euros.
The TOPseven method for contactless lightning protection measurement on wind turbines has been validated and verified as an alternative measurement method by TÜV SÜD since June 2021.
TÜV SÜD’s independent validation and verification confirmed that the measurement system is suitable as an alternative test method for the section of a WT’s lightning protection system extending from the receptors (lightning arrestors) to the blade flanges of the rotor blades in accordance with the Technical Guideline of the German Wind Energy Association.
Our AI based software technology is used for autonomous drone inspection of on- and offshore wind turbines.
Drones are increasingly being used as an alternative for the inspection of wind turbines. TOPseven’s AI takes the technology to the next level: The autonomous drone inspections document damages and identifies possible defects in the lightning protection system.
