UAVs revolutionize railway safety and efficiency
Respond quickly to incidents
and improve security
Drones can quickly assess damage from natural disasters, detect unauthorized access and reduce thefts. Our system allows you to instantly respond to any detected anomaly.
Reduce inspection costs and time
Monitor more railway tracks with fewer resources. A standard 5 km track inspection takes 1,5 hours with two workers. Microavia drones complete the same task autonomously in 40 minutes. Our drone-in-box solution provides complete 24/7 coverage of the entire railway.
Enhance worker safety
Using drones eliminates the need for employees to access dangerous and hard-to-reach areas. This significantly reduces the risk of accidents and injuries, lowering insurance costs for railway companies.

- Security departments
- Construction and project management teams
- Regulatory bodies and safety inspectors
Staff. Drone management and maintenance require a team, including drone operators, technicians, and data analysis. Training and training of employees is also required to create a headquarters responsible for coordinating the work of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Equipment. In addition to drones, you will need charging stations, flight control software, data analysis software, spare batteries, sensors, and cameras.
Communication infrastructure. It is necessary to ensure stable and fast data connections between drones and the central control system using mobile networks, satellite communications, or other data transmission technologies.

Communication infrastructure. It is necessary to ensure stable and fast data connections between drones and the central control system using mobile networks, satellite communications, or other data transmission technologies.
Most existing drone systems require at least 35-60 min to recharge batteries after each flight. This can be a critical drawback in situations where continuous surveillance or emergency response is required.
Unlike these systems, Microavia’s drone-in-a-box system provides for automatic battery swapping, allowing the drone to return to operation almost instantly after a quick battery change for 90 seconds. The battery swapping functionality significantly reduces the drone’s downtime to a minimum increasing the overall monitoring efficiency.
