HYPERION
Hyperion is Alerion’s next‒generation aircraft designed for high‒performance wind turbine inspections. Its autonomous flight workflows and inspection‒optimized hardware deliver consistent blade data in minimal time, while the foldable carbon‒fiber airframe streamlines field logistics and reduces total inspection time.
With a front‒mounted 2‒axis gimbal, quick‒release payload system, and high‒resolution sensing (including a 60 MP camera with RTK GPS and LiDAR capability), Hyperion captures precise, repeatable datasets—supported by onboard compute for advanced inspection workflows. Built‒in health monitoring and safety logic enhance reliability in demanding operations.
Key highlights:
· Foldable, compact carbon‒fiber airframe for faster deployments
· Autonomous wind turbine inspection workflows
· Front‒mounted 2‒axis gimbal + quick‒release payloads
60 MP camera + RTK GPS, with LiDAR payload compatibility
· Integrated health monitoring (RC/GPS link, battery, telemetry,
distance to objects)
· Redundancy & safety features (FMEA‒driven actions, extra sensors,
frequency hopping, 360º collision avoidance, Remote ID)
EXDRONE
ExDrone is Alerion’s breakthrough platform for inspections in explosive atmospheres — the world’s first certified drone designed exclusively for this mission. Built from scratch to digitize hazardous zones, it provides safe, on-demand access to previously hard-to-reach areas, minimizing the risks of manual inspections while making the process up to 10x faster. With ATEX & IECEx suitability for Zone 1 and Zone 2 (and Zone 0 only under safe work permits), ExDrone combines high-resolution visual and thermal imaging with modular sensing—gas detection, LiDAR, and NDT/UT-ready capabilities—to deliver traceable, actionable data for integrity and maintenance decisions. Key highlights: · World’s first certified drone purpose-built for explosive zone inspections · ATEX & IECEx flight zones: Zone 1 & 2 · Up to 10x faster inspections with reduced exposure to hazardous work · Multi-sensor architecture: high-resolution visual, radiometric thermal, LiDAR, gas detection & NDT sensors · Contact/measurement-ready payloads: swappable probes including UT (±0.1 mm accuracy, 1–250 mm range) · Safety-first engineering: health monitoring (RC/GPS link, flight mode, telemetry, motor temp, battery, pressurized vessel status) + FMEA-driven actions · Redundancy & protection: redundant batteries/power/motors, pressure sensor, collision-tolerant body & prop guards, anti-static Ex- spec propellers
DIGITAL TWIN
A Digital Twin is a high-fidelity virtual replica of an asset, built from physics-based models and real inspection data (LiDAR, photogrammetry, and sensor outputs). At Alerion, it becomes a living diagnostic layer — turning field data into automated insights that help owners and operators improve performance, reduce risk, and plan maintenance with confidence.
DIGITAL TWIN
Within a long‒term strategy towards digitalization of wind turbine operations, ALERION has deployed the ALMA platform, a life cycle management platform of wind assets. Based on Digital Twins generated using Aeroelastic Models , LIDAR and photogrammetry, this platform automates diagnostic operations of the windfarm in a systematic manner and provides information to the owners and operators for performance improvements.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
CLOUD PLATFORM
Centralize your inspection data, visualize asset condition, and turn it into actionable insights — securely accessible from anywhere.
CLOUD PLATFORM
Within a long-term strategy towards asset digitalization, Alerion has developed a cloud platform for life-cycle management. Built on Digital Twins generated from physics-based models, LiDAR, and photogrammetry. This platform transforms inspection data into a structured, traceable environment where diagnostics can be automated and insights can be shared across teams. The result: clearer visibility of asset health, faster reporting, and better-informed maintenance and performance decisions.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
Alerion is an alumnus of ESA Business Incubation Centre – Bavaria 2015
