Arti cial intelligence data processing
BladeEdge is pleased to announce
the launch of EDDIE, an arti cial intelligence (AI) image analysis engine designed speci cally for the wind industry. EDDIE was created to enable automated condition assessments of blade inspection images, data analytic processing and report generation. EDDIE processes wind turbine inspection data and automatically generates easily- consumable reports. As AI, EDDIE has the capacity to work around the clock, processing data non-stop and delivering results with 98.8% con dence in data accuracy. EDDIE helps maximize the useable life of each asset reviewed, and tracks changes over time. With EDDIE, blade damage is caught sooner, making decisions regarding maintenance and repair easier than ever before. EDDIE was designed to process any type of wind turbine inspection data – from drone or ground scope capture images to legacy data. EDDIE automatically categorizes data and identi es anomalies, delivering reports that highlight blades requiring immediate attention and provides operators with a comprehensive understanding of all reviewed assets.

Quick, ef cient turbine inspection solution
A turnkey blade maintenance solution o ers a complete blade inspection to repair solution for the global wind power industry. e digital solution is e cient, reduces costs, and increases the speed
of turbine inspections. With Clobotics smart wind solution, the Windspector,
an autonomous drone ies around
the turbine and blades, capturing high resolution images as it ies. Inspection is done in minutes, rather than hours. ere is no longer dependency on highly trained human operators, which dramatically reduces the amount of labor involved and turbine down-time. Further images of the blades are then automatically analyzed, annotated, and reported on the cloud- based customer portal the very next
day. O ering an autonomous AI-based inspection with Clobotics Windspector, backed by repair solutions and including GEV’s all-weather Ventura Habitat, this brings turnkey xed price solutions to wind farm O&M clients.

Quality images for manufacturing and maintenance applications Olympus new IPLEX GT/GX videoscopes provide manufacturing and maintenance inspectors with fast, easy visual inspections of di cult-to-access locations. e new videoscopes feature
a high level of imaging performance
to help shorten inspection times and boost e ciency by providing bright, crisp images. e videoscopes’ white LED light source can easily be changed to ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) light, making the scopes adaptable to a wide range of applications. e IPLEX GX
and GT are comfortable to hold and operate thanks to an optimally-balanced controller, “light-touch” joystick, and intuitive touch panel controls. Live streaming is also available with a wireless adaptor, allowing others to view the inspection videos using the Olympus IPLEX Image Share App for iOS devices (up to two devices can be connected).
