Keep inspection and resupply on schedule
From inspection to resupply
Aureum provides launch, charging, and operations infrastructure for routine drone inspection and resupply. An AC-16 droneport can serve a remote site, with permanent vertiports planned for recurring routes.
Why it matters
Up to 70% lower
A peer-reviewed review found that replacing rope-access inspection of wind turbines with drones offers a potential cost reduction of roughly 70 percent, while taking crews off hazardous work at height. Sensors (peer-reviewed review)
1.5 hrs saved per visit
RWE's offshore wind trials found cargo-drone deliveries saved at least 1.5 hours per turbine visit compared with boat transport, with drone flights completed in under 30 minutes, across more than 80 offshore flights. RWE Offshore Wind (company trial)
Where it goes to work
Assets, lines, and sites
Routine and on-demand inspection of energy and industrial infrastructure, launched from a vertiport that stays on site.
Tools, parts, and samples
Plan air routes for supplies moving across a site or between regional facilities.
Regional routes
Permanent hubs provide launch and charging sites for recurring regional flights.
FAQ
What industrial drone operations does Aureum infrastructure support?
Routine and on-demand inspection, resupply of tools, parts, and samples, and cargo flights across a site or region. Permanent vertiports provide a base for recurring operations.
Can drone inspection lower costs?
A 2024 peer-reviewed review in Sensors found that replacing rope-access wind-turbine inspection with drones offers a potential cost reduction of roughly 70 percent, and that a thermal-imaging blade check can complete in roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
Can the infrastructure run at a remote site with no grid?
Yes. The AC-16 droneport is off-grid capable and carries onboard energy storage and charging.
