Robots in Action

Signal were thrilled to collaborate with Latvian energy services provider, Aerones, on an exciting project to produce a dynamic film showcasing their cutting-edge technology. Aerones‘ robots are designed for the remote maintenance and inspection of wind turbines. They have already demonstrated remarkable success onshore, and now, they’ve developed an innovative solution to extend their capabilities to offshore wind turbines. 

To bring this story to life, the Signal team filmed on location at ORE Catapult’s Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine. The brief was to document every step of Aerones‘ groundbreaking process, from deploying their robots to performing precise inspections and repairs, and finally, dismantling and leaving the site.  

Capturing the seamless flow of these operations was crucial to fulfilling the client’s vision, as the finished film will be presented to the EU Committee as a compelling case study on Aerones’ pioneering technology. 

Signal’s Senior Producer, Jamie Baikie said, “We have an ongoing contract with ORE Catapult, so this is not the first time we have filmed at the Levenmouth test centre, or even the first time we have filmed robots in action. But it is the first time we have followed the process of set up and operations of these technologies in such detail. It reflects Aerones’ commitment to detail and innovation.”

Filming required Signal’s wide skillset, and involved two intensive days of filming, on vessels, inside the turbine, and onshore. Signal utilized a range of tools, including conventional cameras, GoPros, and drones, to ensure we captured every angle of the action. The result is a film that highlights not only Aerones’ technical innovation but also the efficiency and transformative potential of Aerones offshore solutions. 

Commenting on the complex filming requirements, Aerones Media Producer, Miks Ratnieks, said,It was an absolute pleasure to work with Signal’s team!

This project was an incredible opportunity to showcase innovation at its finest, and we’re proud to have played a part in telling Aerones’ story.
