Aker Solutions has Successfully Installed an Autonomous Drone System on Aker BP’s Edvard Grieg Platform in the North Sea

The company recently completed the first offshore beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) drone operation, piloted from its onshore control center in Stavanger. The inspection flight was carried out using an installed drone on Aker BP’s Edvard Grieg platform. 

 

 

The drone system on Edvard Grieg includes a drone docking station offshore and supporting infrastructure. Aker Solutions has also developed software systems and set up an onshore control room.

 

 

Autonomous drones, combined with AI-powered analytics, make it possible to perform frequent and highly accurate inspections. The drone takes consistent, precisely positioned images and videos, allowing for regular monitoring of equipment over time. This enables faster detection of wear, corrosion, and other issues — so maintenance can take place before problems grow.

 

Autonomous drones, machine learning, and robotics are integral to Aker Solutions’ digital strategy.
