FulcrumAir sees a future where many of the tasks performed in a high wire environment will be done with robotic tools. We partner with major component manufacturers to develop robot installation methods for some of the most commonly used fittings in the industry. Development is underway and new robotic tools will be introduced in the first half of 2023. Additional robotic tools are in the early planning stages – these inventions will have applicability for maintenance of the existing network and to assist in new builds. A critical portion of the solution is the ability to place the robotic tools where they are needed. This is accomplished through FulcrumAir’s industry leading UAS and proprietary swing stabilization technology, allowing us to operate in high winds and difficult conditions with precision placement and control. All the design and engineering work is done in Calgary, Canada by our engineers. To date, we have invested over 35,000 hours into research, design, engineering, testing, and evaluation. This work is continuing at an accelerated pace, with over 10,000 additional R&D hours invested annually, solidifying our commitment to constant innovation.
