Blade condition monitoring and reporting
Our 3DX™ Blade Platform offers complete transparency and a detailed health status of each blade. With two different digital inspection solutions we meet a variety of customer needs. Choose our fully autonomous 3DX™ AutoPilot for efficient, high-volume blade inspection campaigns or opt for our 3DX™ SmartPilot if you are looking for a flexible setup where you can inspect with your own teams, minimizing logistics and stand-by time. Bundled with our platform, both solutions give you the tools to stay in control of your assets, minimize repair costs and optimize turbine performance.
Analyzing rotor blade inspection data
If you are interested in more than just a snapshot of the condition of your blades, our 3DX™ Blade Analytics module offers trend monitoring and data analytics across the entire fleet while providing repair recommendations to optimize performance over time. Powerful progression analytics helps you identify and analyse damage patterns to make more informed decisions that will help save costs, improve the annual energy production and future proof your O&M strategy. And because our platform allows you to consolidate all your inspection and repair data, no matter where you got it from, it solves the challenge of heterogeneous data sets and advances the transition from data-driven to AI-driven blade maintenance.
