The Platform

Most drones look.
This one does the work.

Most drones are cameras with propellers: they inspect, film and report, and someone still has to go up and do the job. ProxGrid builds aerial robots that do the physical work themselves.

The SPD25 carries up to 13 kg, feeds a high-pressure line to its spray boom and uses centimetre-level RTK positioning. Pressure washing today, other physical work tomorrow.

The team

Built by people who've
done this work.

We've built drones for live powerlines and worked the ground crew on insulator washing. The SPD25 comes from that experience.

Who it's for

Built for three types
of operator.

One platform, set up for the work each of them does.

Customer Type 01
Industrial Facility Managers

Operations and maintenance managers responsible for tanks, cooling towers, stacks and façades at height. The SPD25 is an alternative to scaffolding and rope access for routine cleaning.
