Flyability and WinCan Announce Custom Integration for Elios 3 Data with Sewer Inspection Software WinCan Web

Lausanne, January 28th, 2025Flyability, the market leader in confined space drone inspections, has announced a new partnership with WinCan, the global leader of smart sewer inspection software. Together, Flyability and WinCan are unveiling a custom integration between Flyability’s Elios 3 drone and WinCan’s Web solution. This will streamline data management, making it possible to convert drone-captured sewer data into industry standard-compliant reports. 

Flyability and WinCan have collaborated to create an end-to-end solution. Data from an Elios 3 flight can be uploaded to Flyability Cloud and imported to WinCan Web. On WinCan Web, inspectors can browse assets and inspections and import key information, including points of interest, images, and videos. This empowers ease of analysis of all relevant data captured by the drone. WinCan Web also offers AI-powered automatic defect coding, streamlining the categorization of defects or maintenance issues in line with industry-recognized standards. The results can then easily be shared in industry-recognized reports, providing more information than before in a layout professionals are familiar with. 

“Our partnership with WinCan is helping us expand the Elios 3’s offering to sewer inspectors. WinCan fulfills the reporting and analytics needs of this industry and together, we’re creating an innovative way to perform safer, faster, and cheaper inspections while getting more details and data than ever before.” - Patrick Thévoz, Flyability CEO and co-founder. 

“The integration of Flyability Cloud with our WinCan Web Cloud solution marks a milestone in wastewater inspection. With the revolutionary Elios 3 drones, customers can now efficiently capture and analyze data while precisely coding it to comply with country-specific wastewater standards. This partnership elevates inspection technology to an entirely new level, saving time, optimizing workflows, and delivering transformative insights - a true game-changer for the industry!” – Roger Roesselet, Sales and Business Development Manager WinCan AG.

This partnership builds upon the value of Elios 3 for sewer inspections. The drone already offers confined space visual inspections and centimeter-accurate georeferenced mapping. WinCan Web’s integration converts the Elios 3 into an end-to-end solution from data collection to standard-compliant reporting. WinCan supports 30+ observation catalogs, more than any other sewer inspection software, complying with widely recognized protocols that include NASSCO’s PACP, MACP, LACP, and more. This ensures that results from the Elios 3 inspections can be interpreted across different regions and regulatory environments, broadening the reach of Elios 3 data.

The Flyability and WinCan partnership is an important step forward in marking Flyability’s continued growth in the sewer sector. As the applications for the Elios 3 increase and its payloads unlock new opportunities, Flyability is similarly developing its software offerings and partnerships. This partnership is founded on shared expertise and a desire to provide accurate, comprehensive data safely. This is an exciting step forward in the global effort to digitize sewer networks and create up-to-date records of underground assets. Flyability and WinCan will be hosting a webinar to share more information about the integration and perform a live demo on February 11 at 17:00 CET. Registration is available on the Flyability website.
