Someone walks your site every day with a checklist.We fly it instead.
Valanor plans the mission, flies it, and logs every finding with a photo and a location. Your team approves the work orders and the report.
Books a 30-minute intro call. No pitch.
Where we work
The problem
Site inspection still runs on a person, a vehicle, and a checklist.
The sites change. The pattern does not. Three problems show up everywhere we look.
Inspection gaps
Coverage depends on one person
Whoever walks the route decides what gets seen. What they miss never gets logged.
The windows are tight
Inspections happen between operations. There is rarely time for a second look.
Findings die in paperwork
Observations get written down, typed up later, and lost before the work order.
Positioning
One person on foot can only cover so much. Valanor flies the site and hands back the findings, logged, with the paperwork drafted.
The product
From inspection to action.
Valanor plans the flight and turns what the drone sees into work orders and reports.
- 01 / PLAN. Plan the mission. Routes, checkpoints, and schedules built around your operating windows.
- 02 / FLY. Fly the route. The drone flies the route the same way every time, supervised by your team.
- 03 / ACT. Turn findings into action. Findings are logged automatically. Work orders drafted, approved, filed.
The whole workflow
Inspection is one step. We run the loop.
The flight is the easy part. The value is what happens after: findings become logs, logs become work orders, work orders become filed reports. Nothing dies in a notebook.
Plan
Routes and schedules built around your operating windows.
Dispatch
The drone launches on schedule, supervised by your team.
Inspect
Surfaces, equipment, structures, and perimeter get covered.
Log
Findings are captured and structured automatically.
Work order
Draft work orders go to your team for approval.
Report
Every mission ends with a filed, reviewable record.
Operating model
Built around how your site actually runs.
Valanor fits your inspection program, your operating schedule, and your procedures. Your team stays in command of every flight.
Built around your program
Valanor supports the program you already run. It does not replace the checks your regulator requires.
Human in command
Steer, update, or re-task a mission in real time. The software flies inside your rules.
No silent gaps
If a flight gets cut short, the record shows what was covered and what was not.
Evidence, not photos
Findings become logs, draft work orders, and reports written against the standard your site answers to.
Hardware
Software that does not pick your airframe for you.
Valanor runs above the drone, not inside it. We fly US-built airframes, and the software does not lock you to one manufacturer. When procurement asks where your hardware comes from, you have an answer.
Sectors
One workflow. Different standards.
The loop does not change from site to site. What changes is the standard the record has to satisfy and the windows you can fly in.
Adjacent work: rail and transit corridors, mining and materials, and large public works sites. If your site has a perimeter and an inspection program, the workflow is the same.
Who we are
Built by operators and engineers focused on physical-world autonomy.
We started in aviation, where every inspection is on the clock and on the record. The same workflow runs anywhere the record matters.

Pilot program
Run a pilot with us.
We’re looking for pilot partners at sites with a real inspection obligation. One workflow, a few supervised flights, a clear report.
- 01Site walkthrough and operations coordination
- 02Pick one workflow: assets, perimeter, or response
- 03Mission and route design around your windows
- 04Supervised inspection flights
- 05Findings logged, work orders drafted
- 06Pilot report with next steps
