Drones Were Already Clean Buildings. This System Makes Them Practical
ABZ Innovation, a Hungarian drone maker operating in over 40 countries, launched the ABZ Clean Station – the first dedicated ground station for industrial drone cleaning. The system pairs with the company’s C10 cleaning drone, delivering 150‑200 bar pressure up to 60 m while providing integrated water, chemicals, filtration and remote hose management. Designed for rapid deployment in under 15 minutes, the station aims to turn drone‑based façade cleaning into a scalable commercial service. By removing the need for scaffolding and rope‑access crews, it promises safer, faster, and more cost‑effective high‑rise maintenance.
