【Case Study】 Kitefly Tethered · Industrial UAV Application
Can Drones Replace Human Workers in Hazardous High-Rise Cleaning?
Kitefly Tethered Delivers a 24/7 Tethered UAV Solution for Lianyungang Yihai Liangtian
Date: March 10, 2025 | Location: Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China | Client: Yihai Liangtian | System: SF-91X-100M
How do industrial operators eliminate human risk in high-altitude facade cleaning while maintaining continuous operation? On March 10, Kitefly Tethered deployed the SF-91X-100M Tethered Drone System at Lianyungang Yihai Liangtian grain storage facilities — replacing manual rope-access crews with a Continuous Power Drone System capable of 24/7 uninterrupted operation. This deployment demonstrates the real-world reliability of our Industrial Tethered UAV System in high-load industrial cleaning environments.

① Hexacopter Platform: AF-J30 Heavy Lift Drone
· Payload Capacity: Maximum takeoff weight 65 kg; effective payload 30 kg — sufficient to carry high-pressure water jetting tools.
· Precision Positioning: RTK (4G version) integrated, delivering centimeter-level accuracy across large-area Drone Facade Cleaning targets.
· Environmental Resilience: Operating range -20 °C to +50 °C; stable in Level 6 wind conditions.
· Structural Integrity: Carbon fiber + aerospace-grade aluminum alloy; empty weight ≤ 20 kg; folded 820 × 940 × 880 mm for rapid deployment.

2. Tethered UAV vs. Traditional Methods: Key Operational Differences
Compared with rope-access "spider-men" and scaffolding, the Kitefly Tethered solution addresses four critical industry pain points:
|
Pain Point
|
Traditional Methods
|
Kitefly Tethered Solution
|
|
Safety Risk
|
High fall & heat-exposure risk for personnel at height
|
Zero human presence at height; all operations ground-controlled
|
|
Operational Hours
|
Limited by daylight & worker fatigue; frequent breaks
|
24/7 continuous via tethered ground power — no battery swaps
|
|
Cost Structure
|
High scaffolding cost; specialised high-altitude insurance
|
Lower per-mission cost; no scaffolding; reduced insurance
|
|
Deployment Flexibility
|
Fixed scaffolding; slow repositioning
|
Rapid deployment: grain depots, silos, complex facades
|

3. Field Validation: What This Deployment Proves
Since 2013, Kitefly Tethered has focused on the source innovation of Industrial Tethered UAV Systems. The successful operation at Yihai Liangtian validates the reliability of our High Voltage Tethered Power System under real-world conditions — sustained output, stable cable management, and zero safety incidents.
Whether for grain depot facades, silo exteriors, power plant structures, or complex industrial infrastructure, the SF-91X-100M demonstrates what a purpose-built Industrial Tethered UAV System can achieve in mission-critical cleaning environments.
For global partners seeking an Export Grade UAV System or Customized UAV Power Solutions, Kitefly provides the engineering expertise to ensure stable, long-endurance, and safe aerial operations.
