**Seoul, September 13, 2024** — Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Flyability SA have entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the development of advanced drone technology for indoor inspections within Samsung’s semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This collaboration is aimed at enhancing safety, improving operational efficiency, and pushing the boundaries of automation in complex industrial environments.
Flyability SA, a Swiss-based company specializing in drone technology, will bring its cutting-edge solutions to the table, focusing on creating drones capable of navigating tight and hazardous indoor spaces. Samsung, on the other hand, will take responsibility for maintaining and integrating these systems into its production lines, ensuring they align with the company's high standards of performance and reliability.
The partnership highlights the growing trend of using autonomous systems in industrial settings. By leveraging Flyability’s expertise, Samsung aims to create new use cases for drones, such as real-time monitoring, equipment analysis, and change detection, which can significantly reduce manual inspection time and improve accuracy.
This initiative reflects both companies’ shared vision of using technology to make industrial operations safer and more efficient. With the introduction of drones, Samsung hopes to not only streamline its inspection processes but also set a new benchmark for innovation in the semiconductor industry.
Flyability has already made waves in various sectors, including energy, construction, and nuclear, with its Elios 3 drone, which supports multiple payloads like thermal imaging, radiation detection, and 3D mapping. The company continues to expand its presence globally, with offices in key markets across Asia, Europe, and North America.
