Cleaning Drone

Modular aerial surface treatment for industrial cleaning, coating, and beyond

Industrial maintenance is becoming more demanding: larger surface areas, hard-to-reach structures, stricter safety requirements, and increasing pressure to reduce downtime and labor intensity. Conventional cleaning and surface treatment methods are often slow, expensive, and difficult to scale.

The IDAS Cleaning Drone is designed to address these challenges with a flexible, modular applicator platform. It enables efficient aerial cleaning and treatment of industrial surfaces such as solar farms, façades, roofs, and other critical structures – with minimal setup effort and maximum operational adaptability.

Thanks to its interchangeable applicator system, the platform can be configured for a wide range of tasks including cleaning, coating, and surface application processes. One drone platform, multiple industrial use cases.

Modular application spectrum

The IDAS Cleaning Drone is designed as a modular platform for the next generation of surface treatment. With interchangeable applicators and adaptable workflows, it opens the door to a wide range of future cleaning and maintenance scenarios across industrial, commercial, and public infrastructure.

The before-and-after examples below illustrate what this platform could make possible in the future: solar parks, glass facades, roofs with windows, historical monuments, building walls, and bridges. Together, they show the potential of drone-based cleaning to deliver safer access, scalable operations, and consistent results across very different surface types.

Industrial applications

Solar farm cleaning at scale

Large-scale solar installations require regular cleaning to maintain energy yield and long-term asset performance. Conventional cleaning methods are often labor-intensive, water-intensive, and difficult to deploy efficiently across large areas.

The IDAS Cleaning Drone enables a more flexible and scalable approach to solar farm maintenance:

Efficient coverage of large areas

Drone-based cleaning allows operators to treat extensive panel fields quickly and with reduced manual effort, helping improve maintenance cycles and operational efficiency.

Reduced downtime and logistical effort

Fast deployment and precise aerial access minimize disruption on site and reduce the need for heavy ground-based equipment.

Adaptable cleaning configurations

Different applicator setups can be used depending on contamination level, panel layout, and maintenance concept – from light surface cleaning to more demanding treatment scenarios.

Façades, glass surfaces, and vertical structures

Challenge: Cleaning and treating façades, glass elements, and elevated building surfaces usually requires scaffolding, lifts, rope access, or significant manual effort – resulting in higher cost, risk, and setup complexity.

The IDAS Cleaning Drone offers a more agile alternative for these environments:

Safer access to challenging facades

Elevated, vertical, or geometrically complex surfaces can be reached without extensive mechanical access infrastructure.

Uniform results across every pass

Controlled drone movement and applicator integration enable even and reproducible cleaning or surface application results across the treated area.

Less manual exposure at height

By shifting work from manual high-risk access methods to controlled drone operations, personnel exposure and safety risks can be reduced significantly.

Built for recurring maintenance programs

The system is well suited for regular cleaning and upkeep of commercial buildings, industrial façades, and large glazed surfaces.

Coating and surface application

Application: Beyond cleaning, the drone platform can be equipped for coating and other surface treatment processes. This opens up additional use cases in maintenance, preservation, and industrial asset protection.

Infrastructure and industrial maintenance

Application: The system can support maintenance operations on a broad range of structures, including industrial plants, storage facilities, public infrastructure, and special-purpose assets.

One platform, multiple applicators

Application: The key advantage of the IDAS platform is its modularity. Applicators can be exchanged quickly and configured for specific tasks, allowing the same drone system to perform a broad spectrum of operational roles with minimal changeover effort.
