With nearly a thousand customers worldwide and offices in the USA, Singapore, China, and Switzerland, we're seeing incredible momentum. Our latest product, Elios 3, has been a game-changer, driving rapid expansion across multiple industries."
Cargill and Dow, two of Flyability's early adopters, have integrated the company's inspection technology into their operations to enhance worker safety and streamline inspections. Julian Chase, Head of Business Operations & Supply Chain at Cargill, emphasized the importance of safety: "Our commitment to eliminating hazards remains unwavering. Partnering with Flyability aligns perfectly with our mission to provide a safer work environment."
Marty Robinson, Global Robotics Technology Leader at Dow, highlighted Flyability's technological advancements: "Elios 3 represents a leap forward in inspection capabilities.
