Nearthlab, a leading provider of autonomous drone solutions, announced that it has wrapped up rounds of inspections in Latin America spearheaded by NearthWIND Mobile, an award-winning plug-and-play solution that turns off-the-shelf products into autonomous inspection drones tethered to a smart device. This is the first time standard commercial drones were relied upon as means of carrying out full-scale inspections within the region. 

Inspections revolved around distant wind farms ridden with accessibility issues and logistical pitfalls. Despite less-than-ideal conditions, NearthWIND Mobile made its presence felt, taking no more than an average of five minutes to survey a 200-foot rotor blade. 

"Making a dry run in the land of extremes felt like a tall order, to say the least," said Jay Choi, co-founder and CEO. "But now that NearthWIND Mobile is gaining traction as a tried-and-true solution among operators who had long been putting up with the strictest of customs and drone regulations, the prospect of NearthWIND Mobile becoming the new black of wind O&M seems brighter than ever."

To remain headstrong amid the exponential growth of renewable energy, wind farms must learn to harness the power of ultra-portable drone solution that gives way to ad hoccheckups. NearthWIND Mobile is committed to helping operators conduct inspections on the fly without leaving a budgetary dent or spending countless hours sorting through all sorts of logistical complications imposed by the size and weight of industrial-grade UAVs.

Introduced across Europe and now North America, NearthWIND Mobile is gearing up to seriously expand its global footprint in the coming year.
