DRB

Autonomous drone solution for asset inspection in the energy industry

Autonomous drone service for asset inspection, providing precision monitoring for powerlines, renewable sites, and infrastructure. AI and radio beacons reduce costs and enhance safety in remote operations.

The Problem

Renewable Energy: The Costs of Maintenance and Inspections

60-80%

of wind turbine inspection costs are due to production losses

The International Renewable Energy Agency states that around 90% of total energy production in 2050 should be renewable to reach UN climate goals. 

The switch to renewables has great implications for infrastructure productivity and availability, with the electricity grid needing to expand nearly threefold to meet this goal system maintenance would be the biggest issue, with inspections constituting 30% of wind power costs.

THE SOLUTION

Revolutionizing Energy Production

Combining autonomous drones and an AI data processing platform, DRB provides an affordable and efficient tool for renewable asset inspection that saves costs and increases energy production and dispersion through better-maintained renewable plants and electricity grids.

The Impact

Increasing Productivity with Automated Drones

90%

savings in wind turbine inspection cost

This automated drone servicing technology allows for increased productivity of renewable plants and the availability of powerlines.

Higher productivity renewables - specifically wind farms - replace fossil fuels, empowering a global sustainable revolution, and the servicing technology for powerlines increases grid resilience while reducing costs.

DRB delivers drone-based inspections for:

  • Wind power providers
  • Grid operators
  • Utilities companies
  • Energy and grid networks
  • HV insulator companies
  • Energy inspector companies

The benefits of DRB drone inspection service

DRB's solution makes the internalization of wind farm inspection possible, removing the need for hiring third-party service companies reducing direct costs by as much as 40%. 

Monitoring and servicing of HV insulators - vital for power lines and the electricity grid as a whole - avoid the possibility of accidents, reducing direct and indirect expenses.
