External blade inspection
Inspect every blade surface in one autonomous flight.
IBIS gives wind operators repeatable external blade evidence without putting technicians at height. One autonomous flight captures all four sides of every blade for analysis and maintenance planning.
What IBIS is
Repeatable external blade inspection.
IBIS is Clobotics’ autonomous UAV inspection solution for wind turbine blades. It follows a controlled flight path around the turbine to capture consistent, high-resolution evidence across the leading edge, pressure side, suction side and trailing edge—so every blade can be reviewed against the same standard.
Repeatable stand-off distance and image angles across campaigns.
Inspection teams remain safely on the ground throughout capture.
Evidence flows directly into IRIS for review and planning.
How it works
From flight plan to operator-ready findings.
One connected workflow preserves context from the moment an image is captured to the moment a maintenance action is approved.
Set the campaign
Configure turbines and campaign requirements in IRIS before the team arrives on site.
Fly autonomously
IBIS captures the leading edge, pressure side, suction side and trailing edge.
Check the evidence
The technician confirms image quality and coverage before the dataset is uploaded.
Prioritize work
Findings are mapped, reviewed and converted into practical maintenance decisions.
Human oversight
Autonomous does not mean unattended.
Trained technicians supervise each mission, verify the evidence and keep the campaign aligned with site requirements.
See it in action
A complete blade record, captured in minutes.
Watch IBIS operate around the turbine and see how autonomous capture supports a repeatable external blade inspection workflow.
One system, two environments
Built for onshore and offshore campaigns.
Use-case imagery gives operators the context they need to picture the technology inside their own maintenance program.
Onshore
Consistent across every turbine
Repeatable capture across large turbine populations, sites and inspection years.
Offshore
More evidence per mobilization
Capture blade and component evidence while reducing repeated offshore access.
What you receive
Not just imagery. A maintenance-ready record.
The page should show the buyer’s deliverable, not only the hardware used to collect it.
Customer case study · Brazil
Scaling blade inspections without compromising reliability.
ArthWind used the IBIS inspection platform to expand turbine inspection capacity across Brazil while preserving repeatable image quality and decision-ready evidence for wind owners.
FAQ
Questions operators ask about IBIS.
How long does an IBIS inspection take?
A full wind turbine inspection can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. Actual time depends on blade length, turbine type, site conditions and campaign requirements.
Which blade surfaces are covered?
IBIS captures the leading edge, pressure side, suction side and trailing edge using a repeatable autonomous flight path.
Can IBIS support offshore projects?
Yes. IBIS can be deployed in both onshore and offshore campaigns, subject to the site’s operating and weather conditions.
How is the data delivered?
Inspection evidence can be reviewed, annotated and organized through IRIS, with operator-ready reporting and maintenance priorities.
