On October 20, 2025, the Beijing International Wind Energy Congress & Exhibition (CWEE) grandly opened. With over 1,000 exhibitors and 120,000+ professional attendees, the event fully showcased the robust strength and innovative vitality of China's wind power industry. As a global pioneer in general-purpose soft-bodied robotics technology, Wisson Technology, leveraging its world-first Pliabot® flexible technology, has developed multiple embodied intelligent flexible robot products for industries such as new energy maintenance and high-altitude cleaning. At this exhibition, Wisson attracted widespread attention by unveiling its industry-first all-in-one rapid operation platform for wind turbine "Wash-Inspect-Coat" maintenance.

In the case demonstration videos at Wisson's booth, numerous "unmanned aerial surgeries" drew crowds of spectators: a drone equipped with different operational modules was performing roles like "cleaner," "coater," and "inspector" at heights of hundreds of meters. Wisson staff explained that this is the company's all-in-one rapid operation platform for wind turbine "Wash-Inspect-Coat" maintenance. Comprising a flexible embodied intelligent architecture of "Flexible Joints + Tactile AI" and based on DJI's FC30/FC100 drones, it can achieve multiple functions with one unit by switching different operational modules, efficiently covering four major scenarios: turbine cleaning, conduction testing, anti-icing coating, and paint spraying.
Behind these high-altitude "special skills" lies Wisson's "hardcore solution" to the challenges of wind power maintenance.
With the rapid development of the wind power industry, the scale of turbine units continues to expand, and operational environments become increasingly complex, posing unprecedented challenges to daily maintenance. For instance, traditional manual high-altitude work carries significant safety risks; the wide distribution of turbines makes maintenance equipment transportation difficult and response times lagging; and some new automated maintenance tools have limited capabilities, are difficult to deploy, costly, and lack flexibility. These issues directly hinder efforts to reduce costs and improve efficiency in turbine maintenance. How to balance the "impossible trinity" of "safety, efficiency, and cost" has long perplexed wind power companies and maintenance service providers.
In response, Wisson Technology offers a breakthrough with its world-first Pliabot® flexible robotics technology—the all-in-one rapid operation platform for wind turbine "Wash-Inspect-Coat" maintenance. Built on the foundation of Pliabot® flexible technology, the platform enables "multiple functions with one unit" by switching convenient, lightweight operational modules. A single device can perform tasks across four scenarios: complete turbine cleaning, lightning protection conduction testing, anti-icing coating, and full turbine paint spraying. Under the premise of ensuring operational safety, it enhances quality, reduces costs, and improves efficiency in wind turbine maintenance:
**Comprehensive Safety for Personnel, Turbines, and Equipment**
On one hand, drone-based high-altitude operations completely eliminate extreme risks such as worker falls and significantly reduce the impact of harsh environments on personnel. On the other hand, Pliabot® flexible joints combined with tactile AI enable dynamic adaptive balance during operations, while the flexible structure actively dissipates energy from accidental collisions, ensuring non-destructive operations and comprehensively safeguarding both the turbines and the operational equipment.
**Multiplied Efficiency in Transport, Deployment, and Operations**
The lightweight and modular design of the full equipment set means that a single pickup truck can transport everything needed for an operation—one vehicle constitutes a full service team. This drastically reduces transit and deployment times, enabling rapid response and high-frequency operations. Additionally, with the support of flexible joints, the system can perform precise and flexible multi-angle operations, efficiently covering structural dead zones such as the nacelle and blade corners, and accurately conforming to complex curved surfaces, achieving a coating coverage rate of over 90% with high quality and efficiency. On-site demonstration cases show that lightning protection conduction testing for a single unit takes only about 1 hour, while complete cleaning and coating operations average 6-8 hours, improving efficiency by 3-5 times compared to traditional manual methods.
**Easy-to-Use All-in-One Platform Reduces Costs and Increases Revenue**
The platform equipment features a modular operational unit design. By quickly switching lightweight operational modules, it achieves "multiple functions with one unit," enabling composite functional expansion. This significantly reduces equipment procurement and maintenance costs while minimizing idle equipment rates. Furthermore, a single operation can synchronously complete multiple inspection and maintenance procedures, shortening turbine downtime and enhancing power generation efficiency.
The platform is deeply integrated with the flight control systems of leading industry drone platforms. Through standardized hardware interfaces and interoperable software protocols, it achieves seamless collaboration between drones and flexible robots, ensuring flight stability and trajectory precision. Simultaneously, the integrated operating system is simple and user-friendly; maintenance personnel can master the entire process after brief training, enabling highly efficient operations.
Currently, Wisson's all-in-one rapid operation platform for wind turbine "Wash-Inspect-Coat" maintenance serves customers across various provinces and cities in China. It has successfully served leading enterprises like China Energy Investment and China Guodian Corporation, accumulating over 1,000 safe flight operations covering more than 1,000 turbines/blades. Its professional technology and service capabilities have undergone extensive market validation and received widespread customer acclaim.
