Voliro

Voliro is a Swiss original equipment manufacturer specialising in advanced unmanned aerial systems (UAS) designed for industrial inspection and non-destructive testing. The company occupies a specific niche in the aerospace value chain by providing aerial robots capable of physical contact with structures, rather than solely relying on visual sensors. Their technology is primarily deployed for the maintenance and monitoring of critical infrastructure in the energy, petrochemical, and civil engineering sectors. The organisation's primary product is a multi-rotor platform featuring a tiltable rotor system that allows the craft to fly and exert force at any orientation. This capability enables the integration of various payloads, including ultrasonic transducers, dry-film thickness gauges, and electromagnetic sensors. Their systems are utilised by global inspection service providers and asset owners to perform work at height, reducing the requirement for scaffolding, rope access, or cranes on large-scale industrial sites. Prospective partners should verify the specific sensor compatibility and data integration workflows required for their particular inspection protocols. It is necessary to evaluate the regulatory compliance of their flight systems within specific national jurisdictions, particularly regarding beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations. Buyers should also confirm the availability of local technical support and operator training programmes for their specific geographic region.
