Business & Value Proposition
By analyzing raw acoustic data with AI, Windrover detects blade damages at a much earlier stage, helping operators avoid costly major repairs and blade replacements. Early detection also minimizes unscheduled downtime and reduces the number of site visits needed throughout the year. Additionally, with more accurate diagnostics and proactive maintenance planning, Windrover enables operators to optimize their O&M resources and significantly lower overall operational expenses.
Windrover continuously captures raw acoustic data from turbine blades and processes it with AI-driven sound analytics, enabling far earlier and more accurate detection than systems that rely only on limited vibration or threshold-based sensing. Unlike solutions mounted directly on the blade, Windrover’s plug-and-play IoT device is installed on the turbine tower, requiring no turbine stoppage and making deployment fast, safe, and fully non-intrusive. This combination of deep data access, real-time AI analysis, and zero-downtime installation makes Windrover significantly more scalable and operationally efficient.
Windrover detects not only the presence of damage but also its type, category, and size. It identifies cracks, delamination, icing, lightning effects, and other structural irregularities through multi-frequency acoustic analysis.
Yes, Windrover is fully compatible with all turbine brands and models, thanks to its AI- and machine-learning-based analysis, which interprets raw acoustic data independently of turbine type. Because the IoT device is installed on the tower, not the blade, there is no need for OEM integration or model-specific hardware. The system is also designed to operate reliably in harsh environments, making it fully suitable for offshore turbines as well.
No. The device attaches to the tower magnetically and requires no downtime. Installation takes only seconds, ensuring your turbine keeps generating revenue without interruption.
Yes. Windrover IoT includes the battery, solar panel, multi-microphone array, lightning sensor, environmental sensors, and electronics in a single compact enclosure. No cables or external modules are needed.
Technical & Operational Details
1. Hardware & Installation
The device uses a hybrid system (Solar + Battery). It is self-sustaining and can operate for up to 3 months without direct sunlight, making it reliable even in winter or low-light regions.
Windrover is IP-rated and fully waterproof (can resist up to 10 meters underwater). It is engineered to withstand desert heat, winter freezing, offshore humidity, and severe storms.
Yes. The device calibrates to its specific position. It should not be moved unless absolutely necessary. If displaced, please contact us immediately to re-calibrate.
2. Software, Dashboard & Reporting
Yes. An initial evaluation is carried out and reported during the first week.
Data is accessible via our professional web Dashboard and the Windrover Mobile App. Login credentials are provided by the Werover technical team for every customer.
Yes. Unlike simple alerts, our reports classify damage by type, severity, and risk level to help you prioritize maintenance.
Admins can use the Users tab on the dashboard. If you lack admin rights, please email our support team with the new user’s details and site access requirements.
3. Maintenance & Support
No. It is designed to be maintenance-free. We monitor device health remotely. If a unit is defective under warranty, we ship a replacement immediately.
Updates are Over-The-Air (OTA). Firmware and AI models are updated remotely without requiring site visits.
You can reply directly to your weekly report email or create a support case on the Dashboard. For urgent login issues, please contact our support team via email provided to you.
