Clobotics participated in the inaugural RECHARGE Wind Power Summit Asia-Pacific at Suntec Singapore on 19–20 May 2026. The event brought developers, turbine manufacturers, insurers, technology companies, service providers, and policymakers together to discuss how Asia-Pacific can scale wind energy while maintaining reliable long-term operations.
For Clobotics, the event was also an opportunity to make a broader point: the next stage of wind growth will require more than new turbines. Owners and service providers will need dependable inspection data, traceable asset records, and repair capabilities that can move from one campaign to the next without adding unnecessary safety or coordination risk.
Singapore headquarters, global customer support
Clobotics established its headquarters in Singapore to better serve customers across Asia-Pacific and around the world. Singapore provides a strong base for connecting with regional wind markets, offshore engineering partners, and the wider global energy ecosystem, while allowing Clobotics to coordinate support for customers operating across multiple countries and fleet types.
The location reflects how wind projects are delivered today. A turbine owner may manage assets in several markets, work with local service teams, and need consistent inspection and maintenance records across the portfolio. Supporting that model requires a company that can operate globally while staying close to the regional conditions, partners, and operational requirements that shape each project.
In this interview, Clobotics Sales Vice President Lina Wang explains why Singapore matters to the wind industry now, and how the city-state helps connect regional growth with the global customers, partners, and delivery capabilities needed to support it.
At the summit, Clobotics demonstrated how its wind technology and service teams connect inspection, analysis, and repair into a single blade lifecycle workflow. The goal is to help customers move from isolated inspection reports to a more complete view of blade condition, risk, maintenance history, and next action.
From blade inspection to completed repair
Wind operators do not lack inspection data. The harder problem is turning separate inspections, reports, and repair campaigns into an operational record that teams can trust and use.
Clobotics addresses that problem through a connected set of hardware, software, AI, and field-service capabilities:
External blade inspection with IBIS
IBIS uses autonomous drone flight to capture repeatable, high-resolution evidence across the external blade surface. A complete turbine inspection can be performed in approximately 15 minutes, with defect detection accuracy down to 1 mm and no inspection crew working at height.
Internal inspection and lightning protection testing
External imagery is only one part of blade condition assessment. KIWI travels inside the blade to document conditions such as laminate cracks, bondline fractures, and root damage. Hummingbird performs UAV-based lightning protection system testing from receptor to blade root, helping reduce dependence on labour-intensive rope-access workflows.
Asset intelligence with IRIS
IRIS brings inspection findings together into a traceable asset record. Findings can be mapped by location and severity, reports can be prepared for operators, and inspection history can remain available across turbines, sites, and campaigns. This gives teams a way to follow how blade condition changes over time rather than treating every inspection as a separate event.
Robotic leading-edge repair with SPARROW
SPARROW carries the workflow from diagnosis into execution. Delivered to the blade by heavy-lift drone, the robot performs surface preparation and leading-edge protection application without technicians working at height.
During a recent commercial offshore campaign, the team completed work across 29 blades in six days, including a 38-minute repair on one blade and six blades completed in a single day. These results illustrate the practical value of connecting inspection findings with a repair method designed for repeatable field deployment.
Why execution capacity matters in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific is not one operating environment. Turbine fleets, climate, geography, regulation, port access, and the availability of qualified service teams vary across markets. Offshore assets introduce additional logistics, weather, vessel, and safety constraints.
That makes repeatability important. Wind owners need technology that can create a consistent evidence standard while still fitting local operating procedures. They also need service partners that can mobilise people, equipment, and engineering support when a defect moves from an inspection finding to a maintenance decision.
Clobotics has supported more than 180,000 blade inspections across more than 40 countries. This experience matters because each market adds different turbine models, defect patterns, environmental conditions, and customer requirements. A global dataset and a regional delivery model help customers build more consistent inspection and maintenance programs as their fleets expand.
From Singapore to the global wind industry
The conversations at RECHARGE Asia-Pacific reinforced a clear industry direction: wind growth will depend on the inspection, data, maintenance, and repair capabilities that keep turbines productive throughout their operating life.
Clobotics is building from Singapore with that requirement in mind. Its Singapore headquarters connects a global customer base with wind inspection technology, AI-driven asset intelligence, robotics, and field execution designed for both onshore and offshore operations.
As the industry looks toward larger fleets and more complex operating environments, the priority is not simply to collect more images. It is to identify risk earlier, prioritise work with better evidence, and complete the right intervention safely and predictably.
