Terrafame initiates operations of autonomous hydrogen-powered airship to improve the dynamic 3D digital twin of its industrial site
The aerial monitoring of Terrafame Ltd 's industrial side is enhanced by an autonomous hydrogen-powered airship in addition to the use satellites or helicopters, battery-powered drones and land-based surveys.
Partnering with a Finnish airship development company Kelluu?Terrafame shall carry out accurate and geo-referenced terrain data for continuous monitoring?of its 60 km2 industrial site in Finland.
The airship is mounted with spectral cameras, sensors, and scanners that can gather real-time data on terrain, vegetation, and infrastructure. The data is then processes to create an accurate 3D digital twin of the environment, enabling the monitoring of and forecasting of any changes and optimizing the infrastructure maintenance and production processes.
The airship is highly efficient, emitting 99.5% less CO2e emissions than traditional aerial monitoring, and frequently covering the area by over 12-hour flight missions.

Pretty cool technology to protect our environment! Great work at #BetterInMyBackYard.

1 年Brilliant. Also probably a better accommodating platform for airborne sampling of asbestos fibre, fumes, noise and other particulate matters. Any URLs for further reading? What are the accuracies (H & V) of resulting DTMs?

1 年Congrats for the whole team! One very good example on how Finland combines environmental and operatonal monitoring with high-tech both in terms of low emission, autonomous hydrogen fueled airship and digitalization. Future is sustainable ??

1 年3D digital twin will of entire industrial site brings a lot of different benefits. and brings also safety due less traffic for inspection of areas etc.
