Modern drone technology supports the
Plant operation
The demonstration of drone technology
showed how modern inspection procedures for wind turbines work.
High-resolution cameras and digital evaluation methods enable
precise inspection of the rotor blades, without time-consuming rope access or
crane technology. Damage can be detected at an early stage and maintenance work can be carried out.
planned in a targeted manner. This reduces downtimes at the
wind turbines and increased technical availability.
"The
Energy transition needs not only high-performance plants, but also innovative
technologies for their safe and economical operation. The ones here
drone inspections impressively show how digitization and
renewable energies. It is impressive to see,
which technical competence has been built up at the Edemissen site and which
Contribution of local employees to a modern and sustainable energy supply
