Protecting nature in a renewable world.

Our Mission
Aims High

To further the growth of renewable energy by minimizing wildlife impacts while maximizing energy production.

Wind Turbine with IdentiFlight Tower

Blending AI, Machine Learning and High-Precision Optics

The overwhelming advantage of IdentiFlight over other approaches is the ability to determine species in real time.  This is accomplished using a proprietary hybrid of machine vision and artificial intelligence technologies.  IdentiFlight also implements machine learning via convolutional neural network technology.  In this technology, millions of images gathered from IdentiFlight’s data set are used to train a neural network.  Leveraging the convolutional neural network data allows the system to continuously learn and improve as the data set grows.

Protecting Birds
Around the World

The IdentiFlight bird detection system blends artificial intelligence with the high-precision optical technology to detect eagles and other protected avian species. In an operating wind farm, IdentiFlight contributes to eagle conservation by helping protect them from collisions with rotating wind turbine blades. In wind project development, IdentiFlight helps in permitting sites by accurately quantifying avian activity at prospective sites. Automatic detection and species determination occur within seconds for birds flying within a one kilometer hemisphere around an IdentiFlight tower. The IdentiFlight system has completed real-world testing and validation in pilot programs at wind farms with elevated eagle activity and is now commercially deployed at projects around the world.

Proud of our Technology, Passionate About our Customer Care

Our team of IdentiFlight field application engineers utilize a customizable IdentiFlight Dashboard for round the clock maintenance and support. From planning, to installation, commissioning and full operation, the support team is with you every step of the way.

 

IdentiFlight is a key piece of the conservation hierarchy: Wind projects should avoid impacts, minimize impacts that can’t be avoided, and compensate for the impacts which were not able to otherwise be eliminated.
