  • Improving Quality (inspection process control) [QI]

  • Process digitalisation and automation [PDA]

Description of solution

Indoor Robotics is the developer of Tando, a first of its kind fully autonomous indoor drone fleet for monitoring and inspection. The solution is comprised of 3 elements:

Tando drone is an automated security robot that combines the accuracy of sensors, visibility of cameras, the flexibility of drones, and mobility of humans. Tando patrols any indoor space to identify security & safety issues, specific objects, fires, leaks and more.

Tile™ is a patented ceiling-mounted docking & charging station designed to support Tando’s zero breaks schedule. This enables Tando to monitor and inspect your space for security, safety, and maintenance issues even while charging. Tando can “hop” from Tile to Tile to cover large spaces more efficiently.

Control Bridge SW manages Tando’s operations. The customizable platform creates new missions and schedules, launches ad-hoc missions, and provides alerts about events, and detections. Control bridge SW easily connects to any building system and other IoT devices.

What is the value you bring to your customers?

Customers are forced to choose between two imperfect solutions to manage routine monitoring & inspection of their facilities:

Fixed sensors: these are precise & reliable but incur high costs to fully cover and maintain.
Humans: people are flexible & adaptable but incur high costs. Also, they are tough to recruit & retain.

Tando overcomes these challenges by offering:

Smart monitoring & inspection: Tando eliminates human errors, biases, and false alarms. The solution offers routine, reliable automation increasing inspection frequency by 10 times.
Full coverage & remote visibility: Tando is the first responder in case of alerts.
Cost effective: In cases where human inspection is automated, customers can benefit from a cost savings of up to 80% of costs vs. a human. In cases of replaced fixed sensors, customers benefit from a cost savings of up to 50% with a significant increase in inspection quality.
