Skygauge Robotics

About

Skygauge Robotics, based in Hamilton, Ontario, was founded in 2016 and specializes in developing patented thrust-vectoring drones for industrial applications. The company focuses on ultrasonic testing (UT) inspections of tall structures, enhancing safety, speed, and cost-efficiency by eliminating the need for scaffolding, rope access, or manlifts. Their innovative approach allows for precise physical interactions, making maintenance and repairs more efficient. The Skygauge Inspection Drone is designed for 360-degree remote ultrasonic testing on various surfaces, operating up to 20 times faster than traditional methods. This drone is particularly useful for inspecting industrial assets such as tanks, chimneys, and ship cargo holds, keeping operators safely on the ground. Skygauge is also exploring future expansions into other maintenance tasks like pressure washing and welding. The company has received support from Canadian government agencies for testing in challenging environments and has established partnerships with clients across sectors like oil and gas, energy, and civil infrastructure.
