Key Takeaways

BeeX Autonomous Inspection Drone A.IKANBILIS:  

  • Overcame low visibility conditions at the floating farm  
  • Obtained underwater visuals of the farm’s floats, mooring lines, inverters, support piles, and submerged power cables
  • Created a 3D point cloud visualisation of piles and a bathymetry of reservoir ground

The client had a floating solar farm at a reservoir in need of inspection. However, the waters of the reservoir were murky. Hence, the client needed a solution that could gather robust data despite low visibility environmental conditions.  

Having heard of BeeX’s capabilities in inspection with autonomous inspection drone, the company contracted BeeX to verify autonomous inspection capabilities in 3D-mapping and obtaining high-quality visual footage of inspected components.  

Launched from the company’s boat, BeeX’s drone, A.IKANBILIS obtained underwater visuals of the floating farm’s floats, mooring lines, inventor support piles, and submerged power cables. Then, for a better asset assessment, A.IKANBILIS generated a 3D point cloud visualisation of the floating farm’s piles and performed a bathymetry of the farm’s surrounding reservoir ground.

Challenging Circumstances, High Quality Results

The successful collaboration with BeeX showcased the effectiveness of A.IKANBILIS in overcoming the challenges posed by low-visibility environments. By delivering high-quality underwater visuals and precise 3D mapping, the gathered information would empower the client to thoroughly assess the condition of their floating solar farm. This partnership not only ensured the integrity and longevity of the client’s renewable energy assets but also demonstrated the crucial role of advanced autonomous inspection technology in supporting sustainable energy initiatives and infrastructure management.
