Latvian startup Aerones attracted seed investment of USD 9 million to develop robotic services for wind energy operators in the whole world.

The target of the investment – to be an innovative trend-setter in the wind energy segment and increase the turnover in the upcoming year by 10 times.

Aerones is a world leader in the wind turbine blades inspection and maintenance sector – it cooperates with 9 of the ten largest wind energy companies in the world. The client includes Siemens gamesa, Enel, GE and Vestas. Currently, Aerones services more than 3000 wind turbines in Europe, North America and South America.

Aerones’ services are automated, using highly-specialized equipment and IT solutions which provide quicker, safer, and more effective results. By using patented robotic equipment, Aerones performs turbine inspection and maintenance six times faster and 40% more profitably than it would be possible with manual work.
