Voliro Secures $12 Million in Series A Funding to Revolutionize Aerial Robotics
voliro,an innovator in the field of aerial robotics,has successfully secured $12 million in Series A funding,spearheaded by Cherry Ventures.This investment aims to expedite the development and worldwide implementation of Voliro’s aerial robots, which are engineered for safer and more efficient industrial inspections at elevated heights.
Leading the Charge in aerial Robotics
Founded in 2019 and based in Zurich, switzerland, Voliro has established itself as a leader in aerial mobile robotics. The company’s state-of-the-art aerial robotic systems, featuring adjustable rotors, are designed to execute high-precision inspection, maintenance, and repair tasks in challenging environments. With this latest funding round, Voliro’s total financial backing has reached $22 million, allowing the company to broaden its product range for industries in search of safer and more economical inspection solutions.
Transforming Conventional Inspection methods
Voliro’s aerial robots are set to replace hazardous and costly traditional inspection methods, such as scaffolding and rope access.These advanced robots are already operational with major companies like Chevron, Holcim, and Acuren, performing non-destructive testing (NDT) and other inspections on hard-to-reach structures, including flare stacks and wind turbines. By utilizing unmanned aerial systems (UAS),these robots minimize human exposure to dangerous conditions.
Customer Testimonials Highlighting Efficiency
“Utilizing Voliro’s technology has allowed us to save considerable time and resources,” stated Danny Landry, General Manager and Drone subject Matter Expert at Acuren.“their drones enable us to conduct inspections significantly faster than traditional methods that necessitate scaffolding, all while enhancing safety.”
