SkySpecs uses autonomous drones, data capture and Horizon software to deliver blade and drivetrain health data for wind and solar asset owners.
SkySpecs is a renewable energy technology company that combines autonomous drones, data capture and its Horizon software to deliver blade and drivetrain health data to wind and solar asset owners. Its flagship Autonomous Blade Inspection Drone, launched in 2016, was the world's first fully autonomous wind turbine blade inspection drone; the company has since inspected more than 160,000 wind turbines across over 31 countries.
The Horizon platform underpins much of the company's work. Horizon Blade Asset Management links inspections, analytics and field execution so owners can plan and fund blade repairs, cut downtime and extend asset life. Horizon CMS provides drivetrain condition monitoring, and Horizon Solar extends the platform to solar inspection and analytics. SkySpecs also offers data capture services for operators seeking blade and drivetrain health data.
Technical work spans autonomous drones, robotics, aerial inspection, asset health analytics and predictive maintenance software, alongside solar asset monitoring and financial management software - the latter two areas added through acquisitions. The company describes itself as mission-driven and focused on accelerating the global transition to renewables, working with customers on practical operating problems.
SkySpecs is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with European locations and inspection operations in more than 31 countries.
