It was great to introduce Minister for Energy @GregHands to our latest BladeBUG at #GlobalOffshoreWind. Thanks to EGGS and RIMA’s support, and our innovative technicians, BladeBUG is developing new turbine inspection solutions to help guide the industry to Net Zero by 2050.
Our CEO and founder, Chris Cieslak, is gearing up for his talk at the upcoming #RUKGOW22 on Wednesday at the Vestas Innovation Centre. Focusing on current and emerging technologies for wind turbine inspection, repair and maintenance, it’s one not to miss at 2.50pm.
We had a brilliant time at #Seanergy2022 yesterday, being able to see people in person and discussing the innovations set to transform the industry.
💥​ IT'S ON 💥​ Today is the #Seanergy2022's kick off! Welcome to all our participants 🙌

Did you know the BladeBUG advanced robot can be deployed to inspect a turbine blade in just 35 minutes? This is up to half the time it would take a human rope access technician.

"Operations at #offshorewind farms are quite siloed at the moment but we will need more planning and less reactive philosophy in operations as we start to use scenarios like #MIMRee." - said Hamish MacDonald, ORE Catapult's Technical Lead for MIMRee at this morning's webinar.

Read about how this collaboration between BladeBUG & Echobolt, funded by @innovateuk, will unlock robotic capacity, allowing their #robots to 'crawl' #turbines, & use ultrasonics to assess bolt strength. #NetZero #WindTurbines #InnovateUKFunded @bladebuglimited
Two UK innovators, @bladebuglimited & Echobolt, supported by ORE Catapult have joined forces to develop a robotic solution for ensuring the integrity of the millions of bolts in #offshorewind farms, a move described as essential to achieving #netzero hubs.la/H0P4qp10
