LjubiA Swiss inventor of Aerial Robotics has announced the expansion of the round in his series today, which brings their autonomous aircraft inspection robots to a total of $ 19.8 million to accelerate the development of robots.
The Voliro series has shown new participation from the NOA and the addition of debt from UBS. Cherry Ventures were led by the original round.
“Voliro technology directly adds to a triple of global needs: Improving industrial elasticity and protection, enables climate adaptation and energy transfer by maintaining resources like air farms, and reduces severe workforce deficit in inspection. Our technology presents a necessary tool to protect the environment that we all depend on,ˮ Florian GutswillaVoliro’s CEO.
Established in 2019 and ETH Zurich’s autonomous system develops a spin-off, volirro advanced air robots that perform the work of accuracy and maintenance at height. The company’s flagship volirio Tea drone has a patent 360 ° tiltable rotor system that allows it to make stable contact with the structure for non-destructive test (NDT) and other high-valued inspection intervention.
Open-Platform Design of Voliro supports multiple sensors and equipment payloads, enables a robot to deal with multiple industrial inspection requirements.
Voliro’s mission is to protect the quality of information, quality of information and to work at height, to ensure that critical infrastructure can be monitored and maintained without damaging human beings.
Equipped with patent tiltable-rotor design and decorated in exchangeable sensors payloads, the volirio Tea platform shows to present a new value in intelligent, communication-based inspection.
Since its inception, 100+ communications inspections in 17 countries including Voliro Chevron, Holsim and Acierene have been set up and set up a strong global footprint with 40+ customers.
“Large -size industrial inspection is a huge opportunity for robotics and automation disruption. Related to art, energy or infrastructure, both aging and new resources will benefit from more frequent, automatic, reliable and data-driven inspections,ˮ GregoryFounder and Managing Partner in NOA. ˮWe are delighted to be partner with a breakthrough platform Voliro with the possibility of converting and securing critical infrastructure in the upcoming decades and a breakthrough platform with the possibility of changing our first investment in my own country Switzerland and our first investment.ˮ
As the age of industrial resources, Voliro argued that critical, strict-access structure like flame stack, storage tank, chimney and towers, the failure of strict-access structure is becoming more frequent, risky and expensive. Over the past decade, investigations of major accidents refer to repeated corrosion, wall thinner or unstoppable fatigue as the root cause – things that are often overlooked because the traditional visiting inspections are expensive, rare and mainly reactionary.
Studies show that up to 30% of Europe involves aging infrastructure and integrity related issues in an industrial accidentThe Worldwide, corrosion-related failures are estimated to spend on the economy € 2.1 trillion annualThe DITION DIFFERENT ENTER MAGES LIMITED SCFOOLING, CORRECTING Access and Shutdown – The procedure that introduces significant risk to the voliro, delays critical diagnostics and limits how many times can be performed.
At the same time, in the United States, About two-thirds certified NDT (non-destructive test) is more than 40 of professionalsReflects a wide tendency seen in OCD countries, where a wave Retirement is accelerated Due to the old population. Experienced inspectors come out of work forces, industries face the needs of smart technology and equipment that reduces dependence on manual access when attracting a new generation of digital-local technicians.
Voliro’s goal is to solve this dual challenge with the class of air robots with their classes and designs to inspect the infrastructure to reach strictly and efficiently with their class. From Flare Stacks and Storage Tank to Wind Turbine Blade and Transmission Towers, the volirio Tea platform empowers wealth owners across energy, chemical and renewable sectors to detect problems quickly with practice maintenance and reduce downtime.
In the rapidly growing air industry, where the uptime is important, 5x fast air turbine lighting protection system (LPS) inspects with volirio insights-reduces the cost of downtime and inspecting the expenditure, without all manual access.
Gutzwilla Added: “The infrastructure is the backbone of modern civilization – and maintaining it is one of the major challenges of our time. We have given a view to the support of the NOA initiative and the support of a growing network of expected customers that once felt like science fiction: autonomous aerial robots at the top of the art intelligence. We are contributing to a smart future for the modern world by combining the reel-world protection, sustainability and workforce in need.ˮ
The new investment will accelerate the development of the next generation’s volirio Tea platform-including deep cloud integration with the help of AI-driven inspection reporting diagnostics, increased autonomy and modular payloads. These progresses identify a change from semi-automatic inspection toward the entire autonomy-and the active intervention from passive sensing-pushes the boundaries of the aerial robot in the industrial environment.
