Advanced Drone Solutions

Advanced Drone Solutions began with a mission to eliminate the dangers and inefficiencies of traditional high-rise cleaning. By engineering high-precision drone technology specifically for exterior building maintenance, ADS tackled a long-standing industry problem with cutting-edge robotics—offering a safer, more cost-effective alternative to manual labor. As the company scaled, ADS uncovered a critical insight: the greatest barrier to intelligent hardware adoption wasn’t technological—it was operational. In response, ADS evolved into a full-stack ecosystem provider, launching ExteriorOps, a cloud-based platform built to simplify and accelerate the deployment of intelligent hardware in exterior infrastructure services. ExteriorOps empowers contractors and facility operators to: - Discover and acquire hardware through a curated marketplace with integrated financing - Certify and train crews via an on-demand academy - Automate compliance with FAA, OSHA, and local regulations - Connect and manage fleets with real-time analytics and AI-driven predictive maintenance - Unlock autonomous workflows through comprehensive data capture and control. At the heart of this ecosystem is ADS’s flagship cleaning drone, engineered from the ground up for durability, modularity, and intelligence: - BVLOS capable, with GPS-denied navigation and precision takeoff/landing tools - Lightweight waterproof carbon fiber and aluminum frame, built to withstand demanding exterior use (IPX5 equivalent) - Modular payload bay supporting pressure washing, soft wash, thermal, inspection, and custom sensors - Advanced AI processing (32 tensor core / 3.76 TFLOPs FP16) enabling soilage detection, cleaning coverage tracking, wall-following flight modes, and future autonomous features - Secure encrypted communication, onboard data parsing, and automatic log uploads for predictive maintenance - Tethered power options, high payload capacity, and up to 32 minutes of flight time using batteries - NDAA-compliant variant available for government or sensitive infrastructure operations. Together, ADS drones and the ExteriorOps platform create a powerful and integrated solution—pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in robotic exterior maintenance and setting the stage for widespread intelligent hardware adoption across the built environment.
