WIND INSPECTION GROUND STATION

AGS Drone Ground Station for Wind-Turbine Inspection

Put Turbine Parameters, Dynamic Inspection and Capture Control at the Pilot's Fingertips

Running on a professional smart controller for rotating-blade drone inspection, Wind AGS unifies turbine-parameter management, mission setup, onboard route-generation coordination, laser-triggered capture, status monitoring and manual intervention.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Purpose-Built Operating Software for Wind-Turbine Blade Inspection

Wind AGS organizes missions around tower and blade geometry, with a dedicated workflow for continuously rotating blades, short capture windows and numerous turbines.

It handles controller-side parameter input, mission configuration, status display and manual intervention. Onboard INES calculates and executes routes, while acquired data enters the Wind Inspection Platform for AI suspect screening, professional review and reporting.

01

Turbine Parameter Management

Stores tower-center coordinates, tower height, blade length and other mission data by turbine for quick field selection.

02

Parameter-Driven Missions

Dispatches turbine and inspection parameters to INES, which generates and executes the route from geometry.

03

Dynamic Inspection Monitoring

Continuously displays mission progress, flight, positioning, battery, camera and ranging information during rotating-blade inspection.

04

Laser-Triggered Capture

Configures a ranging trigger zone so the camera captures when a blade enters the specified distance range.

PARAMETER TO MISSION

Six-Step Workflow from Turbine Selection to Blade Acquisition

Mission parameters and safety thresholds must be confirmed against aircraft, payload, wind, turbine status and site procedures. Automation does not replace pilot monitoring.

01

Select Turbine

Select a target turbine from the parameter library and load confirmed tower and blade values.

02

Set Mission

Configure inspection speed, imaging distance, overlap and blade safety distance.

03

Configure Camera

Set exposure, focus and laser-trigger range for lighting and imaging requirements.

04

Generate Route

AGS dispatches parameters and INES calculates a route for the current turbine onboard.

05

Dynamic Inspection

The aircraft maintains the mission-defined relative imaging position while laser ranging supports capture triggering.

06

Monitor and Intervene

The pilot continuously monitors status and alerts and pauses, stops or takes over when needed.

TURBINE TASK SETUP

Use Turbine Parameters as the Mission Entry Point to Reduce Repetitive Field Configuration

After turbine selection, AGS loads associated geometry and mission parameters and checks imaging distance, inspection speed, blade speed, range and camera status before start.

DYNAMIC BLADE INSPECTION

Keep Mission Status Visible and Controllable around Rotating Blades

AGS sends turbine and inspection parameters to INES, which generates and executes the route onboard; the pilot continuously monitors imagery, distance and progress.

01

From Hub to Blade Tip

The mission defines acquisition coverage by blade length and uses preset distance and overlap for blade-surface imaging.

02

Relative-Distance Monitoring

Displays ranging and alerts in real time to support distance judgment and exception handling in a dynamic environment.

03

Pilot Always in the Loop

Retains status confirmation, pause, stop, return and manual takeover during automated execution.

LASER-TRIGGERED CAPTURE

Trigger Capture as the Blade Enters the Ranging Zone to Support Dynamic Timing

When laser range enters the preset minimum/maximum interval, capture can be triggered by the integrated logic. The range must consider focal length, clarity, blade scale and flight safety.

Trigger performance depends on camera, ranging capability, blade material, attitude, lighting and communication latency and requires phased testing before delivery.

REAL-TIME OBSERVABILITY

Check Mission, Aircraft, Onboard Navigation and Imaging Payload on One Screen

Key status is centralized to help the pilot judge whether the mission is on plan and when intervention is needed. Fields and controls vary with aircraft, controller, camera and software version.

SAFETY & TAKEOVER

Maintain Clear Distance Boundaries and Manual Intervention during Automated Inspection

High altitude, strong wind and rotating blades present continuous risk. Parameter alerts and automated strategies assist operations but do not replace site survey, weather judgment, procedures or pilot responsibility.

DISTANCE

Blade Distance Boundary

Use maximum/minimum thresholds to indicate deviation from the imaging range or excessive proximity.

OBSTACLE

Obstacle-Avoidance Parameters

Configure alert and intervention distances by aircraft and project and validate on site before execution.

BATTERY

Battery and Return-to-Home

Set alert and return conditions from mission reserve, wind and return distance.

TAKEOVER

Manual Control

Retain pause, stop, return and manual takeover and follow the site contingency plan.
