About Skygauge

Skygauge uses a thrust-vectoring multirotor architecture that can press a tool against vertical, horizontal and curved surfaces while maintaining controlled flight. The contact mechanism supports ultrasonic wall-thickness measurements from different orientations, allowing technicians to inspect tanks, pipes, ship structures and industrial equipment without scaffolding or rope access.

Interchangeable tooling extends the platform into rust removal, surface preparation and coating touch-up. The operator remains on the ground and supervises contact through the flight and inspection interface, while captured measurements are linked to the relevant asset position. Skygauge supplies equipment, training and deployment support and has placed systems with industrial and naval inspection teams.
