Autonomous Edge Inspection for Renewable Wind Turbines

Nordic Wind Dynamics · 14 weeks — concept to field deployment

The challenge

Offshore turbine inspection required shutting down turbines for 36 hours while human rope technicians manually climbed blades. Cloud connectivity was non-existent in open ocean waters.

The solution

An ultra-rugged custom carrier board housing an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano + Sony high-resolution IMX sensors, running a custom-trained 8-bit quantized defect detection model locally.

Architecture highlights

  • Sub-8 ms inference latency on 4K camera streams at 60 FPS
  • IP67 waterproof and vibration-damped CNC aluminum enclosure
  • Local offline encrypted telemetry store with satellite burst syncing
  • 99.6% precision identifying composite micro-fractures under 0.5 mm
Moomoth delivered a fully working hardware prototype and flawless edge computer vision model in under four months. It has fundamentally transformed our offshore operations.
