Clobotics Strengthens CGN Partnership at Brazil Wind Power 2026

Clobotics signed a strategic cooperation agreement with CGN Brazil Energy and received its 2026 Special Recognition award during a visit to Brazil focused on blade inspection equipment delivery and local support.

São Paulo, October 29, 2026 — Clobotics attended Brazil Wind Power 2026, held in São Paulo from October 27 to 29, as part of a visit focused on wind turbine blade inspection and local customer support. The trip combined inspection equipment delivery with customer and partner meetings, technical discussions, and planning for ongoing local support.

Brazil Wind Power brings together wind asset owners, equipment suppliers, and technical service providers from across the industry. This year’s agenda covered onshore wind, offshore wind, and operations and maintenance (O&M), with a focus on innovation, operational efficiency, and the industry’s next stage of growth.

A recurring theme in the discussions was the need to get more from the wind assets already in operation. Alongside investment in new projects, operators are looking for technologies that improve fleet performance, backed by dependable local support over the long term.

Clobotics met with local partners and customers to discuss how its inspection equipment fits the operating conditions and requirements of Brazilian wind farms. The conversations drew on the company’s experience in automated inspection, computer vision, defect detection, and data analysis, together with lessons from equipment delivery and field service projects worldwide.

Strengthening the partnership with CGN Brazil Energy

During the visit, Clobotics and CGN Brazil Energy signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The teams also discussed equipment delivery, technical collaboration, and the next steps in their partnership.

For Clobotics, delivering the equipment moves the work from technical discussions into field application. The agreement establishes a longer-term framework for deploying technology, coordinating services, and developing the relationship.

Local support for Brazil’s growing wind fleet

Brazil is a major wind energy market and an important part of Clobotics’ international wind business.

According to Brazil’s Energy Research Office (EPE), the country’s installed centralised wind power capacity reached 34,689 MW in 2025, up 17.5% from the previous year. Wind power generation totalled 116.5 TWh, an increase of 8.2%. As the fleet grows, so does the need for intelligent inspection and more targeted maintenance.

The visit brought Clobotics’ approach to smarter wind operations into a local setting: equipment ready for field use, technical discussions grounded in customer needs, and partnerships that support continued service.

Smarter wind O&M requires more than a better device or a faster inspection. Clobotics’ approach connects intelligent field equipment, AI analysis, asset data, and maintenance decisions. Inspection findings should become part of an ongoing asset history, helping operators assess risk, plan repairs, and manage blades throughout their lifecycle.

In Brazil and across its international operations, Clobotics aims to help operators move from reacting to problems toward planning maintenance around data and a clearer understanding of asset condition. Continued technology development and local partnerships support that goal, with a focus on safer operations, greater efficiency, and long-term asset value.

The work in Brazil is part of that longer-term commitment: building practical inspection capabilities with partners who understand the assets and the local operating environment.
