Perceptual Robotics Expands into Asia
Utilising AI and drones, Perceptual Robotics provides autonomous wind turbine inspections across the UK and Europe. The company has now secured a brand-new deal with leading south-east Asian organisation, K2 Energy Group which has purchased its own Dhalion drone as a first of its kind for the region.
The new technology from Perceptual Robotics will enable K2 Energy Group, which is based in Singapore, to inspect its customers’ onshore wind turbines. The agreement will also see Perceptual Robotics supporting the group with blade repairs and wind turbine inspections, while also looking to expand into inspecting offshore wind turbines.
CEO of Perceptual Robotics, Kostas Karachalios, said:
We welcomed K2 Energy Group Chairman, Nicholas Conway, to our Bristol office to demonstrate Perceptual Robotics’ unique technology. Since then, we have been working closely with the team, providing our expert training and onboarding services so that they can fly the Dhalion drone and easily inspect onshore blades and turbines.”
Perceptual Robotics' pioneering Dhalion system collects and analyses wind turbine inspection data with all information available to review in two hours or less. The state-of-the-art technology achieves superior results by uniquely identifying potential faults and damage prior to severe impairment of the turbine.
This high-quality data collection and analysis from Perceptual Robotics quickly provides blade engineers with all of the information they need to carry out preventive maintenance, dramatically reducing turbine downtime, increasing safety and cutting costs.
Nicholas Conway, Chairman of K2 Energy Group, said
The latest news comes after Perceptual Robotics revealed last month another successful funding round with Brookstreet Equity Partners LLP. This will support Perceptual Robotics in expanding to new geographies and develop their product offerings.
