Discover the benefits of inspecting weld seams in the wind energy industry
The welding inspection in the wind energy industry is essential to ensure the quality and safety of wind turbines. Welds are critical components in the construction of wind turbines, joining important parts such as towers, blades, and support systems.
The integrity of the welds has a significant impact on the safety and reliability of wind turbines. Therefore, our product is dedicated to verifying that the welds meet the design and quality specifications, preventing defects and ensuring compliance with safety standards. We use advanced technologies and deep learning techniques to carry out this task.
Ultrasonic inspection is effective for detecting internal defects in welds, while laser inspection focuses on identifying surface imperfections in critical joint areas. Artificial vision systems allow for automated and precise inspection, facilitating real-time defect identification and classification. This combination of technologies ensures a thorough and reliable inspection process in the wind energy industry, guaranteeing the quality and safety of welds in wind turbines.
In the wind energy industry, improving product quality through welding inspection translates into greater reliability and durability of wind turbines. By detecting and correcting defects early, potential failures and issues that could arise during the lifespan of the wind turbine are prevented, which in turn contributes to customer satisfaction and brand reputation in the wind energy market.
Cost reduction is another significant benefit of welding inspection in the wind energy industry. By avoiding costly repairs and warranty claims due to welding defects, wind energy companies can optimize their production processes and maintain healthy profit margins. This leads to a more efficient and profitable operation in the long term.
Additionally, regulatory compliance is very important in the wind energy industry, where strict safety standards and regulations must be met. Welding inspection ensures that the welds comply with these standards, helping to avoid potential legal penalties and protecting the company’s reputation and integrity with consumers and regulatory authorities in the wind energy field.
The implementation of Wiinspect in the wind energy industry will be carried out in three sequential stages, each of which will be coordinated and supervised by our specialized team. These stages will ensure effective integration of the application and its adaptation to the unique processes and requirements of wind turbine manufacturing.
Before proceeding with the implementation of the Wiinspect application, a thorough assessment of its feasibility in addressing the specific challenges faced by the wind energy industry will be carried out. This will involve assessing the suitability of the available modules and the possibility of customizing them to the particular needs of the wind industry.
The implementation of Wiinspect in the wind energy industry will be carried out in three sequential stages, each of which will be coordinated and supervised by our specialized team. These stages will ensure effective integration of the application and its adaptation to the unique processes and requirements of wind turbine manufacturing.
During this phase, our product integrates with the system in operation. Wiinspect has the ability to collect and transmit information using a variety of communication protocols, such as OPC UA, Profinet and Ethernet, allowing you to access data from the different elements present on the line and use it in your quality analysis.
If some necessary data cannot be obtained through the existing sensors on the line, new sensors will be installed to collect it. This combination provides a comprehensive and detailed quality analysis. In addition, Wiinspect can operate with different types of cameras and capture devices, adapting to the specific needs of each customer.
The system is highly flexible, allowing it to be adapted to the current production cycle of the facility. In this way, it is fully integrated into the production line, minimizing any impact on productivity.
In the second stage, we customize and configure the software according to the customer’s particular needs.This includes adapting the inspection modules to align with the specific processes and standards of the wind industry.
Finally, in the third stage, we train personnel in the use of the software and offer continuous support.Our specialized team will be available to answer questions and ensure the effective use of the software to optimize welding inspections.
The Wiinspect installation includes a 1-year license, specifically designed for the needs of the wind industry.
The duration of the initial Wiinspect license is 1 year. After this initial period, it is necessary to renew the license annually to maintain continued access to specialized wind energy updates and maintenance services.
Wiinspect’s annual license renewal fee is determined by the specifics of each rail inspection. This may include factors such as the size and complexity of the wind system being inspected, the level of customization required, the number of users, and any additional services requested by the customer. The annual renewal will be adjusted to reflect the costs associated with ongoing maintenance, software upgrades and any other wind industry specific support provided during the renewal period.
Wiinspect’s service feature provides adaptable and flexible behavior throughout its life cycle, allowing it to adjust to the specific changes and needs of the wind industry. In addition, it offers an upgrade and maintenance license that guarantees its optimal functionality over time, ensuring that all weld inspections and maintenance are performed to the highest quality and safety standards.
Ensure the quality of your welding seams with Artificial Intelligence, inspecting 100% of the pieces on the production line, using a standard, modular, and customizable system.
