Aerones' robot decreases downtime by almost ten times and increases annual production by 12 percent.

saves time and the human workforce by cleaning and inspecting wind turbines with remote-controlled robots., erosion is a huge problem. The blade surface ages gradually due to small airborne particles, ice, snow, and rain. It harms the turbine blade's aerodynamics over time by wearing off the outer layer of the blade. Over the course of the turbine's lifetime, less and less energy is produced as a result.

Aerones' robots clean the towers and their blades by spraying them with liquid detergent. The robots also collect contaminated liquid from skits and belts and funnel it to a filtering station.The robots examine the blades using ultrasound scanning and cameras and repair them by cleaning the damaged areas and filling any gaps or eroded surfaces. They can also use a specific coating to stop ice from developing on the turbines in colder climates and a protective coating to avoid further damage.

The company has cleaned over 5,000 turbines in 19 different countries and is developing more cutting-edge repair technologies planned to launch in 2023.
