US-headquartered AirFusion launched its first product, a drone-based data analytics tool for power and telecom companies. Now, the firm also operates a windfarm inspection business and is currently developing a new inspection system for high-voltage power transmission lines.
AirFusion mentions that they focus both on drone and AI and has developed a system that it says can cross-correlate the data gathered by multiple drone-mounted sensors with a database of potential wind turbine damage cues.
Chief Strategy Officer Kelwin Wells says, “Autonomous AI seeks to take the human being out of the equation altogether while assistive AI aims to remove the bulk of the time a human would need to spend doing damage discovery and classification.”
“AI element of AirFusion’s software is crucial to the company’s goal of making the analyst’s work 95% more efficient,” says Edward Mier, Managing Director for Europe.
