Before a drone can inspect a blade, it has to find it. TOPseven PILOT finds it with the camera. No lidar. The software detects the blade and sets the inspection path from what it sees. No additional sensor to mount, calibrate or maintain. That matters when the weather window is short. Every minute spent on setup is a minute not spent on the blade. The pilot stays in control throughout and can intervene at any point. PILOT is in intensive testing now. It goes to customers when the test results hold. Not before. Speed is only worth having when it is repeatable.

CLOUDseven is live. For years an inspection ended as a folder. A PDF here, a CSV there, images in an archive, and a report the person signing off often could not read. "No idea what I'm looking at" is a sentence we heard on too many calls. That folder is gone. CLOUDseven is one workspace, and it treats each inspection as one object you can defend. Open the dashboard and you see the fleet, not the files. Mission status, task status, and damage across every turbine on one screen. One filter set governs every chart: date, wind park, manufacturer, turbine type. Set it once and each inspection stays comparable to the last. Root to tip against root to tip. The Damage Statistics view breaks findings down across the fleet. Totals, severity distribution, blade side, damage frequency, and position along the blade radius. Patterns surface while they are still maintenance decisions, not warranty cases. Every inspection now ships as one signed link. The cover, the condition per blade, each damage with its dimensions and position, and the LPS status per blade. The person who signs opens it in a browser, on a phone, without an account. The PDF of record stays one click away. Each link is bound to one task, with a usage cap you set. PDF, CSV, image archives, and HERMES exports live in the Export Center, per inspection, each with a clear state. No more hunting through actions. Nothing to migrate. Same accounts, same data, same permissions. Sign in with your existing credentials. Expert robotics for operational efficiency.

Several companies automate visual inspection well. That part of the market works, and we should say so. Autonomous capture, automated analysis, and records that span years all exist today. Testing lightning protection by physical contact is established, and it works. The market is not empty. We do not pretend otherwise. Our position is narrower. Most of that effort automates the old process. It makes inspection faster. It does not change what inspection produces. The part almost no one has touched is the redesign. It produces measured, governed evidence for each asset. It measures what no camera can reach. The people responsible for the asset operate it. That is the part we built. CLOUDseven. Soon.

LPS Ground Injection Test: Enercon E-82. Passed! BEAT now injects the LPS test signal from ground level. One operator LPS inspection is no longer a roadmap item. It is becoming a field result. More details soon.

TOPseven is preparing for offshore deployment. Field testing is underway near Helgoland. BEAT and SIGHT are already running missions there. BEAT performs patented contactless LPS testing with precise fault localization. No false positives requiring a repeat visit. SIGHT captures inspection grade imagery at 61 MP, so evidence stays consistent regardless of who flies the mission. Both run on the same governed workflow already used onshore: standardized missions, traceable evidence, audit ready reports. Offshore changes the environment. It does not change the standard. Quality of sensors equals quality of data.

Rope access is the right tool for repair. For routine inspection it ties the schedule to a scarce team and a safe-weather day. Standardized autonomous missions handle routine capture, so a booked rope team no longer holds the inspection and work-at-height exposure drops.
