“The optical inspection of the rotor blades in our wind farm with Senvion turbine generators in Oberpfalz by TOPseven provided us with excellent photographs of all four sides of the blades. These images are very impressive and constructive at the same time because we were able to assess very clearly the repairs made recently to the rotor blades by a service organisation.”

“Using the TOPseven system we were able to inspect the wind turbine generators in Norway in one third of the time. Access using ropes would not have been possible in these wind conditions.”

“The Starnberg-based company TOPseven presented to us today an impressive, innovative solution for the drone-assisted inspection of a wind turbine generator; for the first time this solution also permits contactless LPS measurement. We have followed this development for some time and are pleased that today’s test, due to this patented technology, promises to rectify the bottlenecks in inspection and to make the inspection even safer.”

TOPseven is receiving a grant of 4.8 million euros from the German state of Lower Saxony. The Minister for Economic Affairs commented personally that TOPseven is looking at the drone-assisted infrastructure analysis of bridges, ships and wind turbine generators; this is a “highly innovative approach”. He expects the project will “really promote” the region; this is a “great project that we also want to assist financially”. It is also his opinion that, over the long-term, the project will also have a “very positive effect, not just for Ostfriesland, but also Germany”.
