Blade inspection workflow

Aflo Atom Blade inspection and defect management for wind turbine operators

Atom is a structured workflow for wind turbine blade inspection.
Field teams capture. Engineers assess. Managers decide. Technicians repair.
One shared record from first image to verified closure.

Full workflow

From capture to verified closure

Each step below is what teams see inside the platform — from the first blade image to verified closure.

Capture

Upload blade images from any collection method. Organized by site, turbine, and blade.

Annotate

Mark and classify defects directly on blade images using a built-in canvas tool. Tag severity, label, and verify.

Review

SMEs turn annotations into formal findings — severity, defect type, cause, recommended action. Nothing moves forward without sign-off.

Decide

PMs create action cases: monitor, reinspect, repair, replace, defer, or escalate. Every decision tracked and approved.

Execute

Work orders assigned to field technicians with clear scope. Technicians upload before and after proof of completed work.

Close

SMEs verify. Verified work closes out. Incomplete work goes back with clear feedback.

Approvals

Role-aware handoffs stay visible

The same finding carries status, owner, due date, and audit context across every handoff.

Evidence

Before and after proof is part of the work

Closure does not depend on email trails or loose attachments. Evidence remains attached to the object.

Portfolio view

Site context never disappears

Managers can move from a site network view down to a single blade defect without breaking continuity.

Detail

Built into the workflow, not bolted on

These capabilities support the workflow without asking teams to maintain separate handoff tools, separate language versions, or separate evidence folders.

Role-scoped access

Each person in the workflow sees what is relevant to them. Inspectors see their assigned sites. Engineers see findings awaiting review. Managers see the full picture across sites.

Works across languages

The interface is designed to function clearly for field teams regardless of language background — with visual task flows and minimal reliance on text-heavy instructions.

Evidence stays attached

Before and after images are part of the work order, not a separate folder or email. Closure requires verification — not just a status change.

One record, many teams

The same finding moves through inspection, engineering review, site management, and field execution without being re-entered or duplicated at each step.

" The information collected in the field is only useful if it reaches the right person in a form they can act on.

Most inspection processes break between finding and fixing — filled with spreadsheets, email, and informal coordination. Atom replaces that gap with a structured record from start to finish.
