Skygauge has reinvented the drone to perform work not possible with drones today. Their first application is performing industrial inspections (Ultrasonic Testing). Instead of having workers on ropes, boom lifts, and scaffolding The Skygauge will perform inspections 5-10x faster. This reduces turnaround time, cost of inspection, and increases safety because workers are not exposed to work at height. Once they dominate the inspection market our core technology will branch out into pressure washing/cleaning, painting/coating, and attach a robot arm for general work. The same way robot arms created a workforce in factories their drones will create a workforce in the sky.
