Wind Farm
Oceandrone®, powered by renewable energy, is equipped with cutting-edge sensors, IR/OP cameras, and sonars to gather essential data for offshore wind farm lifecycle management. This includes pre-deployment seabed surveys, ongoing visual inspections, and post-deployment assessments. All collected data contributes for the decision-making and strategic planning.
The artificial intelligence system integrated into Oceandrone allows for real-time data collection and analysis, critical for decision-making and strategic planning in renewable energy operations.
This gives it the flexibility and sophistication to operate in a number of roles, whether it’s monitoring and analyzing wind turbine performance, patrolling, surveilling, inspecting, or ensuring the efficient operation of wind farms.

Environmental impact
Oceandrone can be deployed in the pre-construction phase to assess potential wind farm sites. With customized sensors at its disposal, Oceandrone gathers pertinent data on wind patterns and seabed conditions, facilitating the identification of optimal locations for wind turbine deployment.
The integration of EO/IR cameras and an AI-system enhances Oceandrone's capabilities enabling it to perform surveillance that involve not only detecting but also classifying objects, preventing unauthorized vehicles from accessing restricted work zones.
Once the wind farm is operational, Oceandrone can continue to play a key role in monitoring and analyzing the performance of the wind turbines. It can collect real-time data on power generation, turbine health, and overall operational status, allowing for timely maintenance. Oceandrone can conduct routine visual inspections utilizing EO/IR pan/tilt cameras, checking for any damages, wear and tear, or anomalies in the equipment, enabling predictive maintenance and preventing potential failures.
Equipped with bespoke instruments, Oceandrone plays a crucial role in monitoring and evaluating the environmental effects of wind farm operations on marine ecosystems. It is capable of assessing how the presence and activities of the wind farm may impact marine life, such as fish, mammals, and habitats
