Expert UAV Wind Farm Inspections –  Fly the BladeEdge℠ Way
Big data, analytics and artificial intelligence are changing the way we do business. For the wind industry, leveraging inspection data to manage your wind farm is the best way to maximize the lifespan of your assets, increase your annual energy production (AEP) and help you make decisions on maintenance and repairs.

UAV pilots who are trained to fly the BladeEdge Way deliver comprehensive inspection data every time. They have access to the tools, education and training they need to fly quality inspections and capture the data they need in the field every time.
