Read full description

Aerosense provides industrial solutions by combining autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with cloud-based data analysis services. The company has an integrated in-house development system, creating everything from hardware to software and cloud platforms. Its primary market includes the construction, surveying, and inspection industries, serving clients such as construction companies and local governments. The business model centers on selling proprietary drone systems and providing cloud-based data processing and analysis, which automates and optimizes traditional workflows.

The company's product lineup includes the "Aerobo" series of drones and related technologies. A key product is the Aerobo Wing (AS-VT01), a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing drone capable of flying up to 50km, designed for wide-area inspection and surveying. Other products include the Aerobo Marker, a GNSS surveying device, and the Aerobo Cloud, a platform for data processing, which together can significantly increase productivity compared to conventional surveying methods. Aerosense also offers multicopter drones, tethered drones for continuous observation, and various payloads like high-performance cameras.
