Preventative Inspections For better operational safety and visibility, a detailed inspection becomes highly necessary in order to allow for better knowledge on the current state of the blade fleet and budget prioritization – orienting resources for real needs and bringing higher performance for your assets.

ArthWind works with high technology on image collection for visual inspections of the internal and external areas of the wind blade, with minimal operational downtime and the shortest time for report delivery available in the market. All this through a management platform with the possibility of following up on all solutions and dealings resulted from the inspections.
1
End of Warranty Inspection The end of warranty is the period that requires the greatest attention from wind farm owners, so as to have a clear vision of the wear level, manufacturing defects and serial failures that might cause a negative impact in the life cycle of the asset.

ArthWind brings an innovative end of warranty analysis methodology that provides wind farm owners/investors with full support on the technical discussion with the OEM, assessment of the condition of the fleet and opportunities for upgrade.

Our inspection solutions ensure that damages are detected, analyzed and classified, generating an executive maintenance plan that will allow for smoother O&M decision making.
2 External Inspections Internal Inspections
External Inspections With the Pro-Drone – BladeInsight technology, we apply the highest level of accuracy in the collection of imagens, which, driven by high technology and machine learning techniques, make for a precise technical evaluation with detailed reports that display the damage progression and monitoring of degradation.

- Minimal downtime for inspections
- 42 Megapixels Images Resolution
- Individual Report per blade, issued within 48 hours after the inspection
- Analysis of individual damage progression
- Maintenance plans with detailed technical recommendations.
2-1
Internal Inspections Areas with difficult access raise more concern with the safety of operators and the effectiveness of activities. Having this in mind, ArthWind designed its own in-house developed technology: a robotic crawler that offers greater reach and confiability in registering the current state of the blade fleet, eliminating the need for confined spaces personnel.

- 30% deeper reach on the inspection
- Confined spaces risk-free
- 42 Megapixels Images Resolution for detailed analysis
- Inspection time reduced up to 50% in comparison to manual inspections.
2-2
Audit for Repair Campaings Repair campaigns might become inefficient processes in case there is no monitoring and verification of procedures, materials and tools applied. In addition, on-site monitoring can bring more efficiency to activities, ensuring considerable financial returns to the operation. Based on extensive know-how in the design and manufacture of wind blades, we carry out the audit of repairs following strict quality criteria.

- Analysis of the repair procedure used by third parties
- Verification of materials and tools used in the repair
- Personalized checklists for rework management
- Management of run times for better budget monitoring

Construction Management and Audit for Blades Arrival It is necessary that the arrival of these assets at the construction site be fully monitored in details, so that damages from transport and handling are identified prior to installation.

We perform visual inspection on the entire external surface of the blade - even before unloading - and monitor the uptower assembly of the components, ensuring that no damage to the asset occurs during this process.

Technical consultancy The O&M management for many wind farms often lacks the broader view of the characteristic state that affects the asset's operation.

At arthwind, our team, resources and strategic partners allow us to work in management consultancies, identification of root causes and technical proposal for solving the most diverse failure modes.

OUR TECHNOLOGIES

Revolutionizing the visibility of wind blades

Developed by ArthWind especially for internal inspection of wind blades, the ArthBot arrives to alleviate operational safety concerns, as it eliminates the need for technicians operating in confined spaces. Its high-resolution and repeatable image collection is yet another advantage which brings greater visibility to your wind power assets.

Technology in constant evolution to meet the biggest challenges of our industry.

External Inspections via autonomous flights

Have maximum visibility and knowledge of your asset

At ArthWind we seek a better balance between minimal downtime and quality of inspection results. With this in mind, we find in the drone technology ideal resources to make high quality images compatible for a detailed analysis of the progression level of mapped defects, in order to optimize the real maintenance needs of the wind blades. For this, we use automated flight technology, for greater repeatability, accuracy and safety during our operations.
