mission challenge

Offshore environment · Tight shutdown window

Offshore wind farms are limited by wind waves and shutdown windows, so manual climbing inspections are inefficient and pose high safety risks.

The customer needs to complete the visual inspection of the blades of the entire unit within a single shutdown window and output a defect classification report.

solution

DX-H6 + high-power zoom close-range inspection

The DX-H6 pure electric module is equipped with a high-magnification zoom pod to photograph the three blades of each unit side by side according to the preset trajectory.

The wind-resistant design ensures stable hovering at close range, and the images are imported into AI-assisted screening and reviewed and archived by engineers.
