The Future of Wind Turbine Maintenance: Onyx Insight’s Eco Blade Technology | In Conversation

During the WindEurope Event, Stefann Perrigot, Director at PES Wind, sat down with Bill Slatter, Director of Blade Products at Onyx Insight, for an in-depth discussion.

Slatter shared the journey of 11i’s acquisition by Onyx Insight, explaining how this partnership has scaled their advanced blade-sensing technology across a global fleet. He introduced the Eco Blade system, which utilizes high-precision accelerometers to provide 24/7 monitoring of blade health and fatigue. Emphasizing a "physics-first" engineering approach, Slatter highlighted how they use raw data to identify the root causes of damage rather than just the symptoms. He also teased a new, easy-to-install lightning detection solution designed to simplify maintenance for asset owners. According to Slatter, the true value of Onyx Insight lies in its ability to combine deep engineering expertise with practical, cost-effective solutions that maximize the lifespan of wind turbine blades.
