CEO Seamus Cummins Wins Grant Thornton High Achieving Merit Award
Aerobeam CEO Seamus Cummins received the Grant Thornton High Achieving Merit Award at the 2024 Student Entrepreneur Awards. Winning a €5,000 cash prize for — “exceptional business idea"
Machine Learning Algorithms Tested for Wind Turbine Contaminant Detection
Scientists in Ireland recently tested the effectiveness of different machine learning (ML) methods for measuring contamination levels on wind turbine blades. Their work was published in Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy

Our Current Climate
Below are some facts about the state of Irelands current climate and its goals. Wednesday, December 20 2023: The Irish government released the Climate Action Plan 2024
- Ireland commits to 80% of its electricity being renewable by 2030
- €2.85 billion of energy is planned to be produced by wind by 2050 in Ireland
- A paper published in nature found that turbines can lose up to 40% energy production due to contamination
- Laser ablation has been successfully used in areas such as archaeological artefacts and paintings, aswell as biological substances like tissues.
- Machine learning algorithms have already been successfully used to identify contamination and damage on wind turbine blade surfaces.

CEO Seamus Cummins Wins Prestigous Award
The @GrantThorntonIE High Achieving Merit Award and €5,000 went to Dublin City University @DCU student Seamus Cummins and his company #AeroBeam.
How lasers became an integral part of everyday life
Lasers play a crucial role in depth finding, aiding tasks such as building measurements where distances can be measured handheld and at the speed of light.
How do you clean a wind turbine blade?
The laser will auto-scan the blade's surface, focusing on areas of contamination while ignoring clean areas, classifying through machine ...

Aerobeam Cutting Edge Technologies
Aerobeam relies heavily on cutting edge techniques developed by Irish scientists and PhD students whose research is at the very limit of what is achievable with our current technology and understanding of the physical world.
In order to carry out our laser ablation services a lot of specialised scientific equipment is incorporated into our procedures.
We have compiled a thorough document outlining all of the different technologies used in our services.
Meet The Founders
Aerobeam was founded by four like-minded individuals who came together over a shared interest in improving clean energy production in Ireland an eliminating degredation due to fowling. The team is commited to providing the highest quality laser ablation service possible to its customers.
