About Apellix

Making the Impossible
Possible

Since 2014, we've been developing elegant, transformative solutions that keep workers safe while making the world cleaner.

Our Vision

Replacing Risk with Innovation

For decades, tasks like soft washing windows, applying coatings on warehouses, and inspecting elevated structures have relied on dangerous scaffolds, lifts, and rope access. Apellix drones change that — replacing risk with innovation.

Save Time

Complete jobs faster without scaffolding setup or lift coordination.

Save Lives

Keep workers safely on the ground instead of at dangerous heights.

Save Money

Reduce operational costs with efficient semi-autonomous drone systems.

Our Mission

To redefine maintenance and safety by empowering operators with autonomous robotic tools that remove people from harm's way, accelerate performance, and unlock new possibilities for work at scale.

At Apellix, we're engineering a world where robots take on the world's dull, dirty, and dangerous maintenance, cleaning, inspection, and coating tasks — so human workers can stay safely on the ground. We design and manufacture purpose-built aerial robotic systems with autonomous capabilities that transform how infrastructure is maintained, cleaned, and protected.
