Value Proposition
ITR+ is a system designed to quickly and automatically inspect the solar fields of parabolic trough collectors. It uses drones equipped with advanced sensors and vision algorithms to detect tubes without a vacuum, identify breaks, and assess dirt levels.
Added Value
This approach eliminates the reliance on slow and unreliable manual inspections, allowing large surfaces to be covered in a short time with an accuracy of over 95%. The associated software processes images with artificial intelligence and quantification techniques, while the integrated web platform facilitates the visualization and management of results for plant operators.
Market Applications
The impact on operation and maintenance is remarkable: the technology allows the time spent on inspections to be reduced by 50%, reducing costs and improving plant availability. The business model includes on-demand services and the option to license the platform as SaaS, giving customers autonomy in data exploitation.
TRL
ITR+ is in an advanced phase of operational validation (TRL 6-7), with tests carried out in commercial plants that have confirmed its effectiveness and flexibility for different drone models. The technology is protected by trade secrets and proprietary algorithms.
