Volatus to use WEFLO maintenance and repair technology

Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture has signed a mem­o­ran­dum of under­stand­ing with Kore­an tech­nol­o­gy com­pa­ny WEFLO to pro­vide vehi­cle sen­sor exper­tise for use at its main­te­nance and repair organ­i­sa­tion (MRO) facil­i­ties to assist with ser­vice and main­te­nance pro­grams for eVTOL air­craft.

“We are thrilled to work with the WEFLO team and to utilise their essen­tial tech­nol­o­gy to ensure safe­ty at the high­est lev­el,” said Grant Fisk, Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture Co-Founder. “Togeth­er we are able to ensure safe flight oper­a­tions while also stream­lin­ing the oper­a­tions and main­te­nance require­ments for eVTOL vehi­cles.”

WEFLO founder Yee­jung Kim added: “Secur­ing safe­ty has always been the unques­tion­able stan­dard for future mobil­i­ty. We are excit­ed to announce the coop­er­a­tion between WEFLO and Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture to see the future of trans­porta­tion meth­ods, UAMs and ver­ti­ports, become real­i­ty.”

WEFLO offers auto­mat­ed main­te­nance for future mobil­i­ty, start­ing from drones, UAMs to AAMs. With unmanned, auto­mat­ed main­te­nance, WEFLO offers quick and easy meth­ods of MRO in the future ver­ti­port sce­nario.

WEFLO is also able to diag­nose var­i­ous types of elec­tric air­crafts, help­ing oper­a­tors keep track of their aircraft’s cur­rent sta­tus and pre­dic­tions of fail­ure, allow­ing clients to secure safe­ty with­in sec­onds before and after flight.

Found­ed in 2021, Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture is con­nect­ing com­mu­ni­ties to the future with best-in-class eVTOL infra­struc­ture tech­nol­o­gy to ensure soci­ety is ready for the future. Vola­tus offers three main eVTOL infra­struc­ture designs, a vehi­cle agnos­tic charg­ing sta­tion, plus an app and main­te­nance pro­grams.

Last month, Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture signed with the Flori­da based urban air mobil­i­ty (UAM) show­room and eVTOL deal­er­ship com­pa­ny Aeroau­to to pro­vide glob­al ver­ti­port and charg­ing sta­tion solu­tions for its eVTOL sales and ser­vices cen­tres.
