General

Texo Drone Survey and Inspection Limited (Texo) has become an industrial partner of HOME Offshore (Holistic Operation and Maintenance for Energy from Offshore Wind Farms).

HOME Offshore is a research project funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) which partners five leading UK universities. The project will investigate the use of sensing, robotics, virtual reality models and artificial intelligence to reduce maintenance cost and effort for offshore wind farms.

Texo say remote inspection and asset management of offshore wind farms and their connection to shore, is an industry which will be worth up to £2 billion annually by 2025 in the UK alone.

The project aims to generate more useful information that can reduce operation and maintenance costs and improve safety for the Offshore Wind sector.

Dr David Flynn from HOME Offshore said: “Industrial partnerships with HOME Offshore are vital for de-risking research. Having partners such as Texo DSI on board helps us to take our research into industrial delivery creating a viable long-term solution for the sector.”
