Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland

Flyability SA is redefining industrial inspection by making confined and hazardous spaces accessible without putting human lives at risk. Founded in 2014 in Switzerland, Flyability has focused on creating collision-tolerant drones that can navigate complex environments such as tanks, boilers, tunnels, and reactors. Its Elios product line, including the Elios 3, integrates protective cages, advanced navigation systems, and modular payloads such as cameras, LiDAR, and mapping tools. These features allow operators to collect vital data in locations that are either unsafe or extremely costly to access using traditional methods.

The benefits of Flyability’s technology are significant: reduced downtime, improved safety, and lower inspection costs. By removing the need for scaffolding or rope access, organizations gain rapid access to inspection data while minimizing operational disruption. Flyability operates worldwide, with offices in Switzerland, the USA, Singapore, and China, ensuring global support and training services. Its customers span multiple industries, including energy, oil & gas, wastewater, mining, chemicals, maritime, and infrastructure.

Driven by the vision of “no more humans doing dangerous jobs,” Flyability blends advanced robotics with practical applications. Its continued innovation positions it as a global leader in industrial drone technology, helping companies achieve safer, smarter, and more efficient inspections.
