The inspection of wind turbines is a major challenge for the performance and safety of wind farms. Using drones and 3D scanners, Dronotec helps to reduce production downtime, improve the quality of the data collected, and secure maintenance operations on both onshore and offshore sites.
Why choose drone inspection and 3D scanning for your wind turbines?
Today, the inspection of wind turbines using drones and 3D scanners represents a major advance over traditional methods such as rope access, gondola rental or the use of helicopters. These heavy resources are costly, time-consuming and present a high human risk. By deploying drones equipped with visible and thermographic cameras, Dronotec can collect precise, detailed data on the condition of the blades, nacelle, tower and mechanical components, while limiting the exposure of technicians to hazardous environments. Non-destructive thermographic inspections reveal anomalies invisible to the naked eye, such as abnormal heating, internal damage or structural weaknesses. 3D scanners, on the other hand, provide millimetric measurement of deformations, essential for anticipating repairs before damage becomes critical.
The information gathered is then processed in our analysis center and transformed into usable deliverables: detailed reports, high-resolution photos and videos, 3D modeling and thermographic studies. These reports, prioritized according to the severity of anomalies, enable our customers to make informed decisions on corrective and preventive maintenance. Dronotec thus offers a complete solution: a faster, safer and more cost-effective method for improving the performance and durability of wind power plants.
