The Future of Exterior High-Rise Glass & Surface Maintenance
Traditional exterior building maintenance relying on scaffolding, swing stages, and rope-access abseilers is inherently slow, cost-prohibitive, and fraught with severe occupational health hazards.
Developed by our dedicated robotics division WasherDrone at Istanbul Technical University Teknokent, our tethered drone system deploys specialized industrial multirotor platforms connected directly to a ground-based high-pressure pure water station.
Operating with pinpoint positioning, dynamic wind compensation, and spot-free Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration, WasherDrone cleans complex architectural curtain walls, composite panels, and solar canopies up to 5 times faster than manual teams—with complete zero-fall risk.
Our autonomous and semi-autonomous flight control algorithms keep human operators safe on the ground while delivering precision wash cycles to exterior surfaces up to 100+ meters high.
The Integrated WasherDrone Ecosystem
Industrial Heavy-Lift Aerial Drone
Rugged, weather-sealed carbon-fiber airframe fitted with redundant flight controllers, obstacle-sensing radar, and stabilized spray nozzles engineered to resist aerodynamic recoil.
Ground Utility Station & Pumping
Trailer or van-mounted base station housing industrial high-pressure pumps, chemical dosing injectors, generator power feeds, and automatic hose management reels.
Pure Water Reverse Osmosis (RO) Unit
Multi-stage deionization and RO filtration eliminating mineral residues, lime, and salts from water supply, guaranteeing crystal-clear, streak-free glass without manual squeegee drying.
Continuous Tether Management
Ultra-light, reinforced micro-hose providing uninterrupted pressurized fluid delivery from the ground, removing onboard liquid payload constraints for all-day operational cycles.
LiDAR & Ultrasonic Surface Sensing
Real-time proximity sensors maintain an exact stand-off distance from fragile glass facades and complex architectural mullions, automatically preventing surface impact.
Ground Control Station (GCS)
Ergonomic operator console featuring live HD FPV cameras, telemetry feedback, pressure regulation, and autonomous flight-path recording for repeat maintenance schedules.
WasherDrone vs. Traditional Façade Cleaning
| Operational Metric | Traditional Scaffolding / Rope Access | WasherDrone Aerial Robotics |
|---|---|---|
| Worker Safety & Risk | High elevation fall hazard, severe OHS liability | 100% Ground operated, zero fall risk |
| Setup & Preparation Time | Days to weeks for permits and scaffolding assembly | Under 15 minutes rapid deployment |
| Cleaning Speed / Cycle | 200 – 400 m² per working day | 1,500 – 2,500 m² per working day |
| Spot-Free Glass Quality | Manual squeegee wipe required; human fatigue variance | Pure RO Water wash; dries spotlessly under sun |
| Architectural Access | Limited on curved, cantilevered, or recessed facades | 360° omnidirectional high-precision flight access |
Equip Your Fleet with WasherDrone Hardware
WasherDrone is manufactured and operated as our specialized aerial cleaning brand. While Boni Global provides group engineering and enterprise consultation, equipment sales, operator licensing, and customized trailer configurations are processed directly through the WasherDrone company portal.
