Aerones is an innovative company that has developed robotic technology for wind turbine blade maintenance services, such as: • Conductivity measurements and trouble-shooting; • Drainage hole cleaning; • External inspection of the wind turbine blades; • Internal inspection of the blades; • Blade & Tower cleaning; • Coating application on the leading edges; • Leading-edge repair. The technology in use is controlled remotely. In addition, it is compact and easily transportable. Aerones is the first company in the world to provide the services using robotic technology: the maintenance process does not require technicians to work in dangerous heights, and thus is much safer, more efficient, and the downtime of the turbines is decreased significantly.

Optimal Dynamics introduces next-generation artificial intelligence to enable logistics companies to better plan, optimize and automate strategic, tactical and real-time operational decisions. Based on 40 years of extensive research & development at Princeton University in conjunction with decades of real-world application, CORE.ai reimagines how private fleets, dedicated capacity and for-hire carriers think about planning and operating their truckload assets, drivers and brokerage arms where applicable. Our platform enables users to ask hyper-detailed strategic "what if" questions via a simulation-based environment. We then leverage those outputs to maximize network profitability, increase asset revenue/utilization, reduce unnecessary cost and mitigate risk, all while keeping drivers moving in the most efficient manner.  Optimization is nothing new, but it’s extremely difficult to get right. Through the use of High-Dimensional AI, CORE.ai has been proven to achieve outsized impacts for our customers.
