Data Centers

Transform manual inspections into continuous automated monitoring across data centers

Autonomous drones deliver continuous infrastructure monitoring across cooling systems, electrical equipment, and construction sites, preventing downtime, accelerating threat response, and eliminating manual inspection costs.

Transform data center operations from periodic surveys to continuous automated intelligence

One platform supporting critical data center operations

  • Aerial view of an industrial complex with rooftop unit showing heat in a thermal image

    HVAC and cooling monitoring

    Detect thermal anomalies, refrigerant leaks, and bearing failures in CRAHs, CRACs, chillers, and cooling towers before downtime.

  • Aerial view of a large construction site with steel-framed buildings and cranes

    Construction progress tracking

    Weekly automated flights generate orthomosaics and 3D models, replacing surveyor mobilization and accelerating issue detection.

  • Aerial thermal image of a large industrial data center with visible cooling units

    Perimeter security verification

    Alarm-triggered drone dispatch provides live video to SOC within minutes, filtering false alarms and reducing guard callouts.

  • Aerial view of an industrial power substation with transformers

    Electrical system inspection

    Remote thermal surveys of substations, power lines, switchgear, and generators eliminate arc flash exposure during routine inspections.

  • Aerial view of a flat rooftop with a hole and water damage on an industrial building

    Roof integrity inspection

    GVI and thermal scans detect torn membrane areas, joint failures, welding defects, and water leak signatures without fall protection.

  • Aerial view of a data center with cooling units, solar panels, and drones flying nearby

    Robotics integration workflows

    Complement ground robots with aerial monitoring of outdoor infrastructure, rooftops, and elevated equipment inaccessible to wheeled platforms.

  • Industrial air conditioning units and ventilation ducts on a facility rooftop

    Rooftop equipment inspection

    Close visual inspection of dampers, vents, and HVAC components, identifying corrosion, damage, and mechanical failures through aerial surveys.

  • Aerial view of an industrial facility with container units and cylindrical storage tanks

    Generator and fuel compliance

    Automated inspections of diesel generators and fuel storage detect leaks and degradation while documenting EPA compliance.

FlytBase AI agents built for data center operations

Assist maintenance teams by automatically highlighting thermal anomalies, equipment degradation, and safety issues during inspections, reducing manual review burden.

  • Aerial view of a rooftop HVAC system with one unit emitting a bright orange glow

    Thermal anomaly detection

    Identify HVAC equipment hot spots and temperature deltas indicating degradation through automated baseline comparison algorithms.

  • Aerial view of a large construction site with industrial buildings and cranes

    Construction progress tracking

    Compare week-over-week aerial imagery quantifying earthwork, grading, and structural progress with automated volumetric analysis.

  • Night aerial view of a warehouse with loading docks and a person nearby

    Threat and intrusion detection

    Filter perimeter alarm noise by detecting genuine security events versus wildlife and weather false positives.

  • Infrared aerial image showing heat variations on rooftops with a notable cool spot

    Roof membrane integrity analysis

    Detect torn membrane areas, joint failures, and thermal leak signatures through GVI and IR analysis.

  • Rusted and cracked metal rooftop with multiple large industrial HVAC units

    Joint and welding inspection

    Identify damage, corrosion, and structural defects in roof joints and welded connections through close visual inspection.

  • Aerial view of a large data center complex with cooling units and electrical infrastructure

    Equipment classification tracking

    Recognize and track cooling towers, chillers, CRAHs, CRACs, generators across missions for consistent condition monitoring.

  • Drone inspection interface showing Go and inspect Zone A and thermal image of unit

    Work order generation

    Auto-create prioritized maintenance tickets in CMMS with thermal imagery, GPS coordinates, and severity classification.

  • Aerial view of an industrial building complex with rusted rooftop air conditioning units

    Predictive trend intelligence

    Statistical analysis flags anomalous equipment behaviors and usage patterns, enabling predictive rather than reactive maintenance.
