The partner program is based on a division of labor between the co-operation partner and Aero Enterprise. The partner uses his own conventional DJI drone equipment on site. Aero Enterprise assists the partner in finding a recommended drone and the right equipment. Further, Aero Enterprise gives an introduction and training on how to use the AERO-Software Package. With our software the partner can evaluate, interpret and generate an automated report.
Process flow for the condition detection on the rotor blades:
1. Data collection with consumer drone and data upload to the Aero Enterprise server
The partner collects the data with a consumer drone (e.g. DJI Inspire 2 or Matrice). Aero Enterprise supports the partner on flight procedures on the object. Further also on the process and data handling through training, webinars and documents.
2. Data processing and data provision for the partner by Aero Enterprise
Aero Enterprise carries out the preparation of the data (post-processing). These are specific activities such as exact height determination, positioning in the environment and image name adjustments. Also, pre-classification of the images with regard to extra tags such as leading edge, trailing edge, rotation angle calculations, allocation of the blade numbers etc. Then the data gets customized, secured and sorted on our server. These are encrypted directly via VPN tunnels. Thus, the data is not in a cloud.
3. Analysis, qualification & classification of the data by Aero Enterprise or the partner
With the self-developed AERO-Lyse software the partner can examine the data as well as mark, measure, classify and document damages.
4. Condition documentation by Aero Enterprise or the partner
At the end, the partner receives an entire status report in digital and/or physical form (PDF) by only one mouse click. The report includes the evidence of the damaged areas at corresponding positions. Moreover, the report illustrates the image material of the entire object. The report can feature the partner’s branding in form of logo or sub-information.
Advantages and Benefits of the Aero Enterprise Partner Program:
> Faster overall handling of the inspection
> Transparency in prices
> Shared workload
> Standardized reports (with partner logo)
Aero Enterprise supports the customer during UAV projects like development of special UAVs, certificates of airworthiness and documentation as well as external payloads.
Development of special UAVs
Aero Enterprise offers support for special applications as prototype constructions, CAD design work, integration of sensors and autopilots, mechanical design of the complete system, programming, maiden-flights etc.
Certificate of airworthiness and documentation
For the approval of your aerial vehicle, respective drone or UAS Aero Enterprise supports the preparation of the necessary documents such as strength calculations, electrical plans, redundancies, descriptions, noise certificates etc.
External payloads
The SensorCopter is designed modularly and is capable to transport relatively heavy external payloads, up to 8,5 kg for more than 30 minutes.
The self-developed AERO-Software Package enables an efficient asset management with AERO-View - for a preview of the results – and AERO-Lyse – for allocation of anomalies, assessment of damages and documentation.
AERO-View software enables the client to review image data. AERO-Lyse is a licensed software package for quantitative and qualitative determination and classification of anomalies or damages on plants. Determined anomalies will be concisely summarized by an IT-supported report. As a result, an electronic status report will automatically be generated. A background database supports the front-end running software. This allows constant access to all plant data and is a data backup for the customer at the same time.
All high-resolution image data of the inspected objects are recorded using the self-developed AERO-SensorCopter®, which is specially designed to perform under harsh offshore weather and wind conditions.
The AERO-SensorCopter® records image data in the normal and IR range from all components of a wind turbine in a semi-automatic flight. Several high-resolution cameras and sensors are attached to a gimbal, making a continuous and competed data collection possible. The collected data is analysed, qualified, and classified by the AERO-Software Package and a report is generated. Respective anomalies can be recognized in their exact geo-location and position. The anomalies can be quantified in area and length and classified according to standardized classes and types.
