Why use a drone for façade cleaning?
Facade cleaning is an essential operation for building maintenance, but it can be complex and expensive. The use of a specialized drone revolutionizes this process by offering a fast, secure and more environmentally friendly solution.
The advantages of cleaning drones
- Increased efficiency : Drones easily access difficult areas, reducing response time.
 - Optimised safety : no need for scaffolding or baskets, limiting the risk of falls.
 - Reduced environmental impact : use of biodegradable products and reduced water consumption.
 - Reduced cost : less labor and logistics.
 
Technology and operation of cleaning drones
Our drones are equipped with high-precision spraying systems and sensors to adapt the flow rate according to the fouling of the surfaces.
