Aerones TechTalk: Episode 1 with Co-Founder and CTO Janis Putrams

We’re excited to launch the very first episode of our new video series: #AeronesTechTalk. In this premiere episode, Aerones Co-Founder and CTO Janis Putrams takes you on a deep dive into robotic leading edge repair, revealing how advanced robotics are transforming the way wind turbines are protected and maintained.

Leading edge erosion has evolved from a maintenance concern into one of the most pressing performance and cost challenges in the wind industry. As turbines get larger and the stakes get higher, efficient and effective repair solutions are more important than ever.

With years of hands-on experience in robotic wind turbine servicing, Janis addresses the most critical questions facing asset managers, O&M providers, and OEMs today:

🔍 What makes leading edge erosion such a major O&M challenge?
🧩 Why didn’t the 3M tape solution last?
🧪 How do we choose the right leading edge protection material?
⏱️ When is the right time to perform a leading edge repair?
⚡️ How do different damage categories impact repair decisions?
📅 When does a pre-job inspection become outdated?
🧗 Robotic vs. rope access coating application – what’s the difference?
📊 Does the repair robot collect performance and inspection data?
🚀 What are Aerones’ latest innovations in leading edge repair technology?
✅ What is the right way to perform a reliable and long-lasting leading edge repair?

As turbines grow larger and downtime becomes more expensive, robotic repair offers a faster, safer, and more consistent alternative to manual methods — while also unlocking powerful data insights.

Whether you’re currently dealing with blade erosion or planning your long-term O&M strategy, this episode is a must-watch!
