Beam has launched the world’s first AI-driven autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), designed to perform complex underwater inspections autonomously. This innovation aims to enhance efficiency and reduce costs for offshore wind energy surveys. Successfully tested at Scotland's Seagreen wind farm, the AUV reduces inspection times by up to 50%, allowing workers to focus on complex tasks. The technology improves data quality and creates 3D asset reconstructions, supporting operational reliability. Beam's solutions optimize data capture, enhancing decision-making while ensuring safety in challenging underwater conditions.
