Voliro, a global provider of advanced aerial robotics for industrial inspection, has announced a strategic partnership with Gresco UAS, a U.S.-based company specialising in professional drone and robotics inspection solutions. The collaboration brings Voliro’s next-generation aerial inspection technology to infrastructure and industrial asset owners across North America, strengthening safety, efficiency, and data quality in inspection operations.
As part of the partnership, Gresco will offer the Voliro T, a purpose-built aerial robotics platform designed for close-contact inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) of complex infrastructure. The system’s omnidirectional flight and thrust-vectoring capabilities enable it to safely stabilise against structures and perform precise, repeatable contact-based inspections. This makes it particularly well-suited for challenging environments such as transmission towers, industrial facilities, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Combined with Gresco’s operational expertise, deployment support, and customer enablement capabilities, the collaboration delivers end-to-end inspection solutions that reduce the need for personnel to work in hazardous environments while providing high-quality inspection data to support informed asset condition assessments.
Commenting on the partnership, Allen Wheeler, Manager of Customer & Vendor Success at Gresco UAS, said: "At Gresco UAS, our job is to help critical-infrastructure teams work safer and smarter,” said Allen Wheeler, Manager of Customer & Vendor Success. “Partnering with Voliro expands the advanced aerial inspection capabilities available to our customers, with Gresco ensuring smooth deployment and ongoing support so teams can put the technology to work on day one. The outcome is straightforward: safer operations, higher-confidence data, and solutions that fit seamlessly into existing inspection workflows."
Laurent Zimmerli, Vice President of Growth at Voliro, added: "Gresco’s expertise in autonomous robotics solutions delivery makes them an ideal partner. Together, we’re helping inspection teams adopt innovative unmanned systems that improve safety, reduce operational risk, and unlock new levels of inspection insight."
The Voliro T is now available to customers across the United States through Gresco, supporting a wide range of industrial inspection applications where safety, data quality, and operational efficiency are critical. The partnership underscores the growing role of advanced aerial robotics in modern inspection workflows and reflects increasing industry adoption of unmanned systems for asset integrity management.
