What is Auto Wind Farm IQ?

Auto Wind Farm IQ is Sphere’s autonomous inspection solution for wind farms. It delivers repeatable, high-precision turbine data using drone-in-a-box systems with no on-site pilot or manual operation required.

It is the easiest way to inspect turbines safely, consistently and at scale whether you're managing asset health, warranty milestones or construction progress.
