On October 15, we held a live demonstration event in the UK together with SP Energy Networks. This event was a special opportunity for our team to demonstrate how autonomous drone inspections work and the key benefits they present in comparison with other inspection approaches. 

“This event was a great chance to connect with clients, understand their needs better, and show them what our technology can do.

It's always a highlight to see how impressed our clients are. The fact that we can inspect an entire power grid with such detail and efficiency today is mind-blowing. It really opens doors to a whole new level of proactive maintenance.

It was interesting to learn that clients are interested in replacing helicopters for annual inspections with drones. This is an excellent opportunity for us to reduce CO2 emissions and also what we are best at and have the most experience.” said Max Hjalmarsson, CEO Airpelago.

“This event marks our definitive entry into the UK & ROI markets which is a huge milestone for Airpelago as a company. 

I always enjoy how a customer who has never flown a drone before can conduct an autonomous drone flight with less than a minute of instruction, it really highlights the simplicity of the solution we have developed. 

The UK & ROI utilities are facing the same challenges as their Nordic colleagues when it comes to more efficient and detailed inspections as well as decarbonization. This signifies that the solutions we have successfully implemented and scaled in the Nordics will create the same value for customers also in the UK & ROI market.” - Tobias Fridén, Co-founder & CTO, Airpelago
