Have you ever struggled with wrinkles, leading edge contour accuracy and steps in wind turbine blades? Say goodbye to the challenges of traditional measurement methods and embrace the future of wind turbine blade inspection with waveCHECK – a game changer for the wind industry. Here are 3 Reasons why waveCHECK is essential: Point & Scan:   Designed to be used by operators of all skill levels. Use it like a camera – Simply take a shot and view the results within seconds.  Industry-leading Repeatability, Accuracy and Traceability: Achieve precise and consistent results every time and create an organized report with just one click.  Fully integrated & networked:  Self-contained and portable. No external power supply or laptop required, 4.5 hours battery life.  What can you measure with waveCHECK?  Wrinkles (height, depth, slope, length, width, critical ratio)  Steps (height, depth, length)  Leading edge contour accuracy (Deviation from nominal to actual profile)  Leading edge steps (curved steps)    And most importantly, eliminating guesswork by a simple and precise method for damage inspection! #WindEnergy #Innovation #TurbineTechnology #QualityControl #waveCHECK#Leadingedge#Wrinkles#Blades 

🌬🌬️ Did you know that wind turbine maintenance is one of the top three challenges in the wind industry? Quality management is more important than ever in the wind industry. Production errors can lead to downtime, material defects and, in the worst case, blade breakage. To reduce these high costs, it pays to focus on quality in production. The waveCHECK scanner has established itself for this purpose and minimizes costs, time, and effort. Measuring critical wrinkles, especially in the manufacturing processes, can save significant costs and influences the overall lifetime of the blade. With 8tree’s waveCHECK 3D Scanner, identifying these issues accurately is just a 1-Click process. Investing in such proactive maintenance practices not only extends the life of turbine blades but also enhances overall operational efficiency and reliability. This is our way of contributing to sustainability. Let's harness the power of the wind more effectively and sustainably! 🌱💨 #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #TurbineMaintenance #CleanEnergy #WindPower 

Are you still relying on traditional methods to inspect the quality of wind blades? 💨 In wind blade manufacturing, ensuring the quality of blades typically involves using various analogue tools to identify issues such as wrinkles or creases. This approach is highly inaccurate, complicates the workflow, and consumes valuable time. Digitalizing these inspection processes can significantly streamline and enhance efficiency and quality. With 8tree’s waveCHECK 3D scanner, all your measurement needs are just one click away. The tool comes with augmented reality projecting the measurement results directly onto the blade. ✔ Scan & act instantly.  ✔ No post-processing.  ✔ No CAD-models. What do you think? Is it time to upgrade inspection methods?  

Addressing the Technology Gaps in the Wind Industry 💨 Many wind farms are undergoing significant technological change, from the introduction of advanced inspection technologies to the integration of predictive maintenance tools. The challenge lies not only in adopting these innovations, but also in effectively managing multiple systems on a day-to-day basis. Seamless integration of these tools can improve data access, promote team collaboration, and streamline wind farm management. Digitalization offers a way to tackle these challenges head-on. By utilizing technologies such as waveCHECK, wind blade manufacturers and operators can gain deeper insights into rotor blade quality and increase their lifetime, efficiency, and profitability. How do you think the adoption of advanced inspection technologies and predictive maintenance tools can further enhance sustainability and profitability in the wind energy sector? Join the discussion and share your insights! 🌱💨

Did you know that, according to the Office of National Statistics, 85% of electricity generated worldwide will come from renewable sources by 2050? One of the most significant sources will be wind power. 💨 The role of wind as renewable energy is growing, which is why streamlined quality inspection processes are needed to ensure safely and efficiently working turbine blades. Tomorrow is Global Wind Day and we at 8tree are proud to play its part in sustainability by facilitating the process of damage inspection in turbine blade manufacturing & service. With #waveCHECK, we enable precise and time-saving methods that ensure that the turbines spin safely for a long time.   #globalwindday #waveCHECK #sustainability #innovation #renewableenergy #8tree

🌟 What are we collaborating on with the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (IWES)? Our project, called SmartRoMaIn, aims to enhance efficiency in wind rotor blade manufacturing. The project aims to significantly reduce manufacturing defects, increase production rates, and reduce the risk of structural damage in the field. As a result, costly repair work can be avoided. Last week, we visited the IWES in Bremerhaven and dove deep into testing the limits of our LeadingCheck technology. 🚀 Fueling Innovation Together At 8tree, we believe that innovation thrives in collaboration. Our partnership with Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergiesysteme (IWES) exemplifies this belief, and we're incredibly proud to be part of a community that's driving positive change and shaping the future of technology. #ThrowbackThursday #IWESBremerhaven #SmartRoMaIn #LeadingCheck #wavecheck #WindIndustry #Collaboration #Innovation
