With its long-range drones, DELAIR allows us to perform line inspections in an innovative way whilst improving the quality of restitution compared to current pruning solutions. We are closely monitoring the launch of this French start-up and the business opportunities that will result from it.
We have worked with DELAIR since late 2012 and are thoroughly happy with our collaboration! Initially, DELAIR developed a customisable tool, the DT26, capable of meeting mapping needs for our operating rail network. Then, using DELAIR's adaptation skills we were able to respond to more advanced surveillance issues, offering both security and also maintenance applications. We are proud of this partnership and the success of DELAIR, as it shows that the major groups and SMEs can work together to achieve fullyfledged business solutions.
