wind turbine blade inspection with Drones

About Sulzer Schmid

Founded in 2016 by Tom Sulzer and Christof Schmid, Zurich-based Sulzer Schmid is at the forefront of innovation in the energy service sector. Recognizing the potential for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology to redefine industrial grade inspections, the two entrepreneurs have developed an end-to-end technology platform that produces high-quality rotor blade inspection results with ease – precisely, repeatably, efficiently.

The 3DX™ Blade Platform was deployed for Sulzer Schmid’s first fully autonomous UAV flight in 2018. To date, we have inspected wind turbines in more than 40 countries world wide using our 3DX™ technology and each inspection is underpinned by our commitment to the highest quality, efficiency, safety and groundbreaking use of technology.

Since September 2024 Sulzer Schmid is part of RES, the world's leading renewable energy company. This allows us to leverage the vast expertise within RES to create an even more powerful 3DX™ Blade Platform designed to meet the needs of OEMs, owners and operators alike. By integrating our innovative 3DX™ technology, RES expand its extensive O&M capabilities to include autonomous blade inspections and advanced data analytics, meeting customer demands for smart, digital and data driven O&M.

Our Team

On paper, we are software developers, electronic engineers, entrepreneurs and operations, finance, marketing and sales experts. In reality, we are passionate problem solvers, inventors, makers, testers, code crackers, customer satisfaction managers and more. Our agile approach ensures close collaboration and helps us stay ahead of the curve.
