SkySpecs is a renewable energy technology company that builds autonomous drones and analytics software for wind and solar asset owners. Its technical work spans robotics, autonomous flight, data capture and data analytics, applied to the problem of turning inspection data into maintenance decisions. The company launched what it describes as the world's first fully autonomous blade inspection drone in 2016, and has since inspected more than 160,000 wind turbines across over 31 countries.
The product suite pairs purpose-built inspection drones with Horizon, a software platform for asset health monitoring. Horizon Blade Asset Management connects inspections, analytics and field execution to help owners plan and fund high-cost blade repairs, reduce downtime and extend asset life. Horizon CMS covers condition and drivetrain monitoring, while Horizon Solar extends the platform to solar assets.
Engineering teams work across autonomous drones, robotics, condition monitoring systems, drivetrain monitoring and software platforms, with a stated purpose of fixing costly gaps between data and decisions. The company is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with European locations and operational reach in more than 31 countries. Its growth has included acquisitions in drivetrain monitoring and financial management, broadening the verticals it serves beyond wind and solar into energy asset management.
