Vestas partners InspecTools augmenting and digitalizing blade service offerings

Vestas customers will now have access to blade inspection online and analyse the data from any of their turbines in any market, owing to the expansion of Vestas’ partnership with InspecTools, a leading energy asset inspection company.

The partnership includes global access to the industry-leading asset data management system WindAMS that will enable customers to reduce performance loss or unforeseen costs by utilising Vestas’ superior technical knowledge and unparalleled inventory of wind turbine performance data to obtain best-in-class inspection insights. Together with customer access to an online portal to view blade conditions across entire fleets, WindAMS can further improve predictive maintenance and help mitigate issues such as severe leading-edge erosion, which can reduce annual energy production by up to five percent.

Christian Venderby, Group Senior Vice President and Head of Service at Vestas said “By extending our partnership with InspecTools, Vestas will provide customers with even better and faster blade condition insights, which enable customers globally to better manage their fleets by investing more effectively in maintenance to lower costs and increase production and revenues.”

InspecTools’ CEO, Paul Bingaman stated “Working with Vestas’ service business units around the world is a great opportunity for us to have the kind of impact on the wind energy industry that we have always intended to have. And we’re excited to be working with a company whose commitment to the wind energy industry matches ours”.
