Cue remote/autonomous survey and inspection vehicles and cloud-based data – all of which are at the forefront of services offered to the #offshorewind industry by Terradepth, Sulmara, and Bureau Veritas Group. The companies emphasized the faster processing and delivery of data and the ability to perform continuous or regular surveys where that would typically be a costly and time-consuming endeavor. With the addition of #artificialintelligence, the companies are further streamlining operations, primarily using the technology for target recognition and data processing. #subsea #offshoreenergy

Technology for remote controlled and autonomous shipping is developing at pace. Governments are grappling with the issues surrounding autonomy at sea and the International Maritime Organization hopes to introduce voluntary codes defining best practice by 2028, with a view eventually to making them mandatory. This interesting article from BBC News explores some of the issues. https://lnkd.in/eB_pekdd #ShipsandShipping #AutonomousVehicles #MaritimeIndustry

𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤. 𝐎𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭? Over the last few years, #DroneDelivery has emerged as transformative force that will revolutionise the world of logistics & aid. It's about more than just convenience. It’s about creating a more equitable and sustainable future, from bridging healthcare gaps to providing vital aid during natural disasters. The potential is huge. Furthermore, in the world of disruptive aviation, cargo is ultimately an easier route to market for novel aircraft, transporting goods being a simpler route to certification. However… The road to widespread drone delivery is not an easy one, and whilst we are seeing drone delivery in action, as of 2024 we are perhaps not where we thought we would be. As with every radical technology, for every advantage, there is a challenge to overcome… but problem solving is what motivates us. 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞? We're proud to be working with some amazing companies that certainly think so. #UnlockingHumanPotential

So you got a Dhalion system - Now what? This is one of the most frequently asked questions we get and, naturally, we’ve made sure that investing in our system is only the beginning of the journey towards efficiency. After the paperwork is out of the way, our Customer Success Team welcomes you onboard with a project kick-off summary.  Depending on the mode of collaboration during that session, we provide all the necessary information, checklists, manuals and resources you will need to be able to use the system and navigate our online portal. On top of that, we offer deployment operations guidance such as how to position the turbine in relation to the Sun’s angle and details to be mindful of on the field. After the onboarding session, we book you for an in-person training on how to operate the system safely with one of our expert pilots. This is a course that walks you through the technical details, the inspection setup as well as the post-inspection workflow. Of course, all of this is available to you 24/7 via our online Knowledge Base Centre but we want to address questions live and Bristol is wonderful to have this kind of training session. “But what about live support on the field later?” you might ask. Our support teams are available during business hours via email, chat and Whatsapp. If your deployment is due in another time zone, we cater for that as well! Just let us know and we will be there to support you in case you need us. If you are processing the data yourselves, our Customer Success Team will make sure you get training on how to annotate and classify damages. This is a short online session designed to help you process the data fast and create insightful blade reports. Our 360° approach is guaranteed to help you succeed and our Team of experts are always happy to help. You got a Dhalion system - Now you have a trusted partner as well! #windenergy #blades #bladerepair #droneinspection #UAV #perceptualrobotics #robotics #artificialintelligence #renewableenergy #innovation #drone #energy #offshorewind #offshorewindenergy #operations

The drone industry is soaring, but regulations remain the biggest hurdle. While service providers dominate the landscape (74.5% of the market), hardware (18.5%) and software (7.1%) play crucial roles in enabling innovation. Key Takeaways: Service-driven: The industry is primarily driven by service providers, indicating a strong demand for drone applications across various sectors. Hardware focus: Hardware continues to be a significant component, highlighting the importance of robust and reliable drone technology. Software's growing impact: While software currently holds a smaller share, its increasing importance in areas like data analysis, automation, and AI integration is expected to drive growth in the future. Regulatory challenges: The biggest obstacle to industry growth is the complex and evolving regulatory landscape. Navigating these regulations is crucial for businesses to thrive. Moving Forward: The drone industry is poised for continued growth, but it's crucial for stakeholders to address the regulatory challenges and foster a collaborative environment. This will allow the industry to unlock its full potential and deliver innovative solutions across diverse sectors.

Brooke Kennedy, Senior Manager, Deloitte, will speak on the “Making Automation Work…” at the 2024 Port of the Future Conference, to be held April 2-4, 2024, in Houston, Texas. Automation does not guarantee financial and operational success. Autonomy and autonomous technologies continue to disrupt established industries with opportunities to improve operational efficiency and safety. Looking at a 5- to 10-year time horizon, new and emerging autonomous technologies and accompanying regulation will continue to evolve, changing the port landscape as we know it today. Emerging technologies including Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicle and Equipment Automation, Drones, and Energy Technologies may all potentially be implemented and scaled in a port environment, requiring ports to proactively plan and adapt to technological and regulatory implications of implementing these new autonomous technologies. Three distinguishing factors identify ports and corporations that derive the greatest results from automation: they make automation a strategic priority, focus on people as much as technology, and develop an operating model that enables scaling. Brooke Kennedy is an emerging technology and innovation leader within Deloitte’s Government & Public Services (GPS) Consulting Practice. She has 9 years of experience bringing innovative technology solutions to Federal clients across the Defense and National Security sector to address front-line operational and mission challenges. As the leader for Deloitte’s Technology Scouting Capability, Brooke helps clients understand today’s dynamic technology landscape as well as trends in Research and Development (R&D) that may impact future operations across fields including Artificial Intelligence and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Furthermore, she helps them identify and assess emerging technology solutions to meet mission needs across border security, port, and other critical national security ecosystems. The 2024 Port of the Future Conference will host representatives from over 50 ports worldwide. For the list of participating ports access https://lnkd.in/gAbTwB33 This year’s event includes tracks on Port Infrastructure 4.0, Developing Ports; Intermodal Connectivity; Decarbonization and Alternate Fuels; Port Energy and Sustainability; Terminal Operations; Enhancing the Port Eco-System; Port Security and Cybersecurity; and other relevant topics.
