THE SUPPORTED START-UP

Hoverseen

Hoverseen has developed a drone-based video surveillance system, which allows interventions in sensitive areas 24/7. This system’s main added value lies in its complete automation, as the drone can take off alone, follow a predefined route and then land on its station to be recharged. In addition, the drone’s control and recharging base is equipped with weather sensors to determine whether the flight can take place. It is also very durable and is designed for mobile use.

The project and its context

Aerial drones have many advantages: they are light, fast, always available and their prices have become quite reasonable. They therefore make it possible to observe an area at any time, and without the need to put a physical person at risk. Applications can be surveillance rounds, land use analysis or monitoring of delivery movements…

Until now, these drones have exclusively been remote controlled, sometimes through a particularly complex interface. Hoverseen’s proposed solution integrates a control and recharging base that allows the pre-programming of flight plans, which the drone will then carry out in complete autonomy. In addition, it is equipped with a weather station that can determine whether the flight conditions are favourable. The drone can also take off and land without human intervention.

Project milestones

July 2021

INITIAL CONTACT PHASE

The start-up contacted our teams through the Group’s industrial accelerator – Axandus.

September 2021

TEAM TRAINING AT HOVERSEEN

The teams visited the client for a week to learn about the product and acquire the necessary knowledge.

From October 2021 to date

PROTOTYPING

The teams start the design phase of the prototypes for the start-up.

Our added value

Within the framework of this project, one of EFI Automotive Service’s first in the support of innovative companies, we were able to offer Hoverseen our expertise in the following areas:

  1. Design and production of prototypes: on this occasion, our teams managed to reduce the base’s assembly time from 5 to 3 days
  2. Provision of a 30 m² pressurised room allowing the teams to work in a controlled environment
