Wind Turbine Inspections:
60% Faster and Safer.

We built a mobile drone inspection platform that lets operators plan flights, capture high-resolution turbine images, monitor flight data, and review inspection results without sending technicians up the structure.

What We Set Out to Improve.

Industry
EnergyTech

A renewable-energy inspection workflow where technicians previously needed to work at height.

Partnership
Dedicated Product Team

Coretus supported mobile development, drone SDK integration, backend services, flight workflows, monitoring, and field testing.

Goal
Safer & Faster Wind Turbine Inspections

Move routine inspection work from manual climbing to remote drone-based inspection.

What We Built
Drone Inspection Platform

A mobile and cloud solution for flight planning, live monitoring, business-wide imaging, and inspection records.

What Was Getting in the Way.

Wind turbine inspections required technicians to work at height, making every inspection dependent on weather, specialist availability, and strict safety procedures.

The client wanted a practical way to inspect turbines remotely while capturing more consistent images and reducing the time needed for each inspection.

High-Altitude Safety
Technicians faced unnecessary risk when routine visual inspections required climbing the turbine.
Slow Inspection Cycles
Setup, climbing, inspection, and reporting turned each turbine into a long field task.
Inconsistent Records
Manual inspections made it harder to compare clear, timestamped visual evidence over time.
The Solution

What We Built.

01
Plan the Flight
Operators can define a repeatable inspection route around the turbine instead of manually flying every pass.
Key details
Control Waypoint Route
Operator Remote
Override Available
02
Monitor the Drone Live
The app shows important flight information such as altitude, position, tilt, and wind conditions while the inspection is running.

03
Store Inspection Results
High-resolution images and flight records are sent to a central dashboard so maintenance teams can review and compare inspections.

Before and After

How the Workflow Improved.

Area
Before
After
Technician Safety

Manual Climbing

Technicians physically climbed the structure for visual inspection.

Remote Inspection

The drone captures the required views while the operator remains safely on the ground.

Inspection Time

Half-Day Task

Setup, climbing, inspection, and reporting could take several hours.

Single Flight

A repeatable flight path reduces inspection time significantly.

Maintenance Records

Manual Notes

Inspection detail depended heavily on the technician's observations.

Consistent Visual Records

Timestamped images and flight information create a clearer history for future comparison.

Key Features

What Made the Solution Useful.

FLIGHT AUTOMATION

Repeatable Flight Routes

Operators can run consistent inspection paths around each turbine instead of manually recreating every flight.

Business impact
More Consistent Inspections
LIVE MONITORING

Live Flight Visibility

Operators can see important flight and sensor information during the inspection and react quickly if conditions change.

Business impact
Safer Field Operations
INSPECTION RECORDS

Shared Image & Flight Logs

Inspection images and flight details are stored together, making later review and comparison easier.

Business impact
Better Maintenance Records
Faster Delivery

How We Reduced Build Time.

Tested foundations helped the team spend less time on setup and more time on the parts that made this product useful.

What accelerated the work

4 reusable building blocks
01

Drone Connection

A tested starting point for drone connection reduced repeated setup work.

02

Flight Planning

Reusable work for flight planning let the team focus more time on the client’s specific needs.

03

Sensor Monitoring

This made it easier to add sensor monitoring without rebuilding common foundations.

04

Inspection Reporting

A tested starting point for inspection reporting reduced repeated setup work.
