Onyx Insight has launched ecoBlade, a condition monitoring system designed to provide ongoing insight into wind turbine blade behaviour and condition. ecoBlade monitors blade health from within each individual blade. Using two three-axis accelerometer sensors per blade, the system can detect cracks, structural issues and other forms of damage.
The system is intended to identify faults at an early stage, when up-tower repair is still possible. This allows operators to move from scheduled inspections towards more condition-based maintenance, supported by real-time alerts.
The launch follows Onyx Insight’s acquisition of Eleven-I in September 2025, a company specialising in condition monitoring and data analysis for wind turbine blades.
