Problem
Inspecting and monitoring indoor infrastructure, such as tunnels and dams, is challenging due to the complexity and confinement of these spaces, often lacking GPS connectivity. Traditional inspection methods can be time-consuming, costly, and potentially dangerous for human workers.
Solution
Spiral develops autonomous drone flight systems specifically designed for indoor infrastructure inspection and monitoring in non-GPS environments. Their core technology, MarkFlex®Air, enables drones to self-navigate by recognizing markers, allowing for autonomous operation within complex and confined spaces. Spiral provides tailored solutions, encompassing flight planning and image analysis, to meet the specific needs of each deployment environment. This technology facilitates thorough and efficient inspections, reducing the need for manual labor and improving data collection in challenging environments.
Target Audience
The primary customers are construction companies, infrastructure management firms, and government agencies responsible for inspecting and maintaining indoor infrastructure such as tunnels, dams, and other confined spaces.
