Problem
Exterior cleaning tasks such as window, façade, and solar‑panel cleaning often require manual labor at height, exposing workers to safety risks and limiting the size and complexity of jobs they can undertake. Traditional methods are time‑consuming, costly, and struggle to reach difficult geometries, reducing overall productivity and profitability.
Solution
Advanced Drone Solutions (ADS) delivers purpose‑built drone platforms that automate exterior cleaning operations. The Stratos system combines a lightweight airframe with high‑capacity payload bays for cleaning tools, enabling precise, repeatable coverage of large surfaces. Integrated navigation and spatial‑intelligence modules from the NavDome™ subsidiary provide autonomous flight paths, obstacle avoidance, and real‑time positioning without manual piloting. By handling high‑value, complex cleaning jobs, the drones increase throughput while keeping operators on the ground, thereby improving safety and reducing labor costs. The full‑stack approach—from hardware design to software control—allows rapid deployment and easy integration into existing service workflows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are exterior cleaning service companies—including window, façade, and solar‑panel cleaners—that need to expand into larger, higher‑value projects while improving worker safety and operational efficiency.
