Is wind energy getting smarter and more efficient? The answer depends on whom you ask. Some companies still rely on traditional human labor, while others are fully embracing the latest technological developments, such as AI and robotics. Aerones belongs firmly in the latter group.
Following the successful closure of a $62 million investment round earlier this year, Aerones has made substantial investments in AI-enhanced solutions and software capabilities. Today, the company not only provides the world’s most advanced robotic systems for wind turbine inspection, maintenance, and repair, but also delivers a powerful software layer that significantly improves the speed, quality, and cost-efficiency of operations. These new tools aggregate and analyze terabytes of inspection data, enabling predictive maintenance and smarter asset management for wind farm operators.
As of September 2025, it has improved both the speed and accuracy of its leading-edge repair robots, raising the bar for how efficiently and accurately eroded blades can be restored to near-factory condition. The company has tripled the number of blades its human-operated robots can repair and potentially setting a new world record for repair speed. Equally remarkable is the consistency and repeatability of repair quality, something that remains difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with conventional manual methods.
