Elios 3 for Wind Turbine Inspection

Purpose of Inspections:

• Ensure safety and optimal performance.

• Identify structural damage or defects.

• Support preventive maintenance to avoid costly downtime.

Key Inspection Focus Areas:

• Structural integrity of the tower and mechanical components.

• Blades for cracks, deformation, splits, holes, or other signs of damage.

• End-of-year warranty inspections are crucial to identify defects before warranties expire, enabling customers to claim repairs from manufacturers.

Frequency:

• Inspections are typically performed every 1-5 depending on customer or based on warranty periods.

Data Shared with Customers:

• Primarily images pinpointing the exact location of defects.

• Periodically, videos for additional context.

• LiDAR data to create a replicated version of the blade and highlight damaged areas.
