I'm your host, Allen Hall, president of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and I'm here with Wind Power Lab's, Joel Saxum, and Joel, you and I were talking about all the different robot options on the blade repair side. Mm-hmm. and in the spring gets closer. There's a lot of research going into these companies, and I thought it, it's a good time to, to highlight them and discuss where their strengths are and maybe where their weaknesses are. Mm-hmm. . And if you're in a, if you're in the market for like a leading edge repair, what are some of the things you sh consider? From these robot Joel Saxum: companies? Yeah, absolutely. As as it's February, right? So in most of the northern hemisphere or the further southern hemisphere right now is the time everybody's getting. getting geared up for the spring to let loose and repair season to start. You know, if you're one of those, those lucky companies or lucky asset owners that gets to work on their turbines year round, you don't have that pain. But I know all of my counterparts in the industry and and friends that I talk to are deep into the tender process. And even at this point in time, right, it's February 10th today, so the tenders. They're coming out, right. They're coming out with, with decisions because you're, you're starting to get, if you haven't got your tender in back in, you know, December or January, the, it's getting slim pickings for, for blade techs. So, yeah. Like we, like we talk about a lot on the show as the blade technician pool gets it, it's, it's hard to build it. It gets smaller and smaller as the the global fleet grows. So all of these companies that are starting to develop robots for, whether it's just for leading edge repair or something that has classically been a technician job like like the Valero guys doing the LPS measurements, and they're. Other than that, you've gotta send guys on ropes to do that, and it becomes very expensive and very time consuming. You can't get that much done. Now, doing it with a drone makes, makes a huge difference. So a lot of guys out there, or a lot of companies out there coming up with new solutions and think there's some that are. A little bit earlier in the game and a little bit more developed and have been out in the field getting some, some time up on blades. And those guys are just like, when we started the, you know, the first autonomous drones out there, there was a lot of people kind of working on it. And then of course, you know, like our, our, the people that we know over at Skys specs, they jumped out and started just, just hammering away once they had a really good solution and they, they quickly became the, the top of the heap as far as. Inspection numbers. I think we're gonna start to see that here soon with the robots. . Allen Hall: Yeah. So the, you know, I think the industry leader right now in terms of at least public ations and maybe even contracts mm-hmm. is Aerones. Mm-hmm. be, be my guess. They're all, all over the world and they have, they, their robots do many different things. Right.
