← Mobile Labs

The mobile lab that brings NDT inspection, diagnostics and the Digital Twin to the foot of the wind turbine.

Blades, gearbox, generator and lightning protection checked on site with drones, borescopes, vibration and oil analysis. Safety at height and complete energy independence.

Ideal for wind farm maintenance companies, turbine service providers and crews working at height.

Energy autonomy, typical workday

For wind farm operators

Every hour of downtime is energy you don't sell.

We know the pain points of large-plant operators: we turned them into the lab's specifications.

Slow, risky work at height

Climbing towers and blades for checks a drone and a borescope could anticipate from the ground.

Mechanical faults found late

Gearboxes, bearings and hydraulics failing without warning: long stoppages and costly spares.

Lightning and insulation rarely checked

LPS continuity and winding insulation rarely measured, risking blades and generator.

Remote ridges, distant data

Farms on windy hills with no coverage: inspections stay on memory cards and reports slip.

The real needs

You don't need more tools: you need a mobile operating ecosystem

Diagnosis from the ground

Drone, borescope and ultrasound to know what is happening up top before climbing.

Mechanics under control

Vibration analysis, gearbox oils and controlled bolt tensioning.

Certified electrics

LPS, HV insulation and power quality measured with professional instruments.

Protected crew

Rescue, evacuation and gas detection for work at height and confined spaces.

Our solution

The ultimate wind O&M mobile lab

A 616N wide-cab van, medium-long wheelbase and high roof, turned into a self-sufficient diagnostic workshop for wind turbines. Structural and blade inspection, electrical and lightning diagnostics, mechanics and fluids, safety at height: all at the foot of the tower, with data already linked to the farm's Digital Twin.

The killer feature

Victron® + Starlink: operational in the middle of nowhere

Closed-loop power

4 flexible 200 W monocrystalline panels (800 W) with a SmartSolar MPPT controller charge the 48V LiFePO4 bank managed by a Victron MultiPlus-II 48/3000 inverter, 4,000+ cycles. It also charges from shore power and the alternator (Orion DC-DC), monitored 24/7 on a Victron GX Touch.

Space broadband

Starlink Flat High Performance (Business) on an aerodynamic mount plus a Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G router: stable, low-latency connectivity, on the move and in the most remote areas.

What does it mean for you? The drone lands after inspecting the blades, the workstation compares images, vibrations and oil analysis with the turbine's history, and the report reaches engineering before the crew leaves the ridge. No generators, no CO2.

The three levers

What no fitted-out van can give you

01

Built-in safety at height

Category III PPE, evacuation device and multi-gas detector: the crew leaves already equipped for nacelle and hub.

02

Ridge-proof connectivity

Starlink and 5G: inspections, vibration and oil analysis shared in real time with engineering and the OEM.

03

Custom tailoring

We tailor the fit-out around your turbine fleet and instruments, not the other way round.

The offer

A mobile value point, turnkey

Integrated package

  • • Fitted-out, tested vehicle
  • • Specialist training for your technicians
  • • Ongoing support on the fit-out

Think in kWh, not euros

The lab is measured by the MWh it saves from turbine downtime. Ground-based diagnosis and anticipated faults cut climbs, emergency spares and repair times.

Why it exists

The challenges of wind farm O&M

A stopped turbine loses output with every gust. You need fast diagnosis on components tens of metres up: that's what Annoluce delivers.

Traditional limits

  • Slow, risky blade inspections

    Climbing, platforms and long stoppages

  • Mechanical faults found late

    Gearboxes and bearings damaged without warning

  • Lightning and insulation

    LPS continuity and windings rarely checked

  • Remote, windy sites

    Tools and data far from the field

The Annoluce solution

  • Drone and NDT on site

    Blades, nacelle and hub inspected without climbing

  • Borescopy and vibrations

    Gears and bearings checked without dismantling

  • HV electrical diagnostics

    LPS, insulation and power quality measured on site

  • 2nd-level consulting

    Specialists connected remotely on real-time data

The return on investment

Why choose this solution

With the Wind O&M lab your crew reaches the foot of the turbine with everything needed to inspect, measure and decide: drone, borescope, NDT tools, electrical diagnostics and oil analysis. Less downtime, fewer needless climbs to the nacelle and jobs planned on data. Annoluce makes the difference: one single contact who designs the vehicle, integrates the technologies and trains your technicians, from survey to commissioning.

  • Fewer climbs
