Problem
Cleaning large vertical or hard-to-reach surfaces such as building facades, windows, walls, and solar panels typically requires scaffolding, aerial platforms, or manual rope access, which are time‑consuming, costly, and pose safety risks to workers.
Solution
Februus is a purpose‑built drone designed exclusively for surface cleaning. It carries a high‑pressure washer and can also dispense chemical agents, allowing operators to clean a variety of materials from ground level. An integrated automatic flight system lets pilots define waypoints, altitude, and speed, enabling repeatable, precise cleaning runs without the need for scaffolding or lift equipment. The system includes a ground control station, safety termination features, and optional mobile units with power take‑off, compressors, and wastewater recycling, providing a complete, turnkey solution for industrial cleaning tasks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are professional cleaning and maintenance firms that service building facades, windows, solar panels, and other elevated surfaces, as well as industrial operators seeking safer, faster cleaning methods.
