For KTV, this represents an important milestone and a strong validation of a collaboration that has been ongoing since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KTV Working Drone is now active in 68 countries worldwide and has played a central role in transforming the cleaning and maintenance industry through drone-based operations. What began as an unconventional idea has evolved into a global operational standard for facade cleaning, window cleaning, industrial maintenance, and surface treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2018, KTV has worked closely with DJI to build a safe, scalable, and professional ecosystem for drone-based cleaning. KTV Working Drone technology is based on proprietary, in-house developed hardware, software, and cleaning techniques, combined with DJI as the aerial platform. This includes KTV\u2019s own Power Cleaner machine technology, purpose-built for high-efficiency, controlled, and repeatable cleaning operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike traditional methods, KTV\u2019s systems enable autonomous and semi-autonomous facade and window cleaning with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and operational control. The technology eliminates the need for lifts, scaffolding, and rope access in many use cases, significantly reducing both risk and cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KTV Working Drone has also had a direct impact on regulation. In many countries, aviation authorities have adapted drone regulations specifically to accommodate professional cleaning operations based on KTV\u2019s operational model. KTV\u2019s patented rooftop safety and securing solution has been formally recognized by regulators and has now become a requirement or reference standard in most markets where drone cleaning is approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 2026, KTV Working Drone opened its technology to a broader market by offering equipment and onboarding through Tech Partner agreements, making the full system available to private companies and public authorities worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is striking to reflect on how quickly the market has evolved. Just four years ago, very few drones were used for cleaning operations. Today, thousands of drones perform cleaning and maintenance tasks daily, and market adoption continues to accelerate at record speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All KTV Working Drone technology is developed in Norway, building on more than 35 years of experience in maintenance, safety, and innovation through the KTV Group. This combination of long-term industry knowledge and advanced drone technology has positioned KTV Working Drone as a global technology leader in drone-based cleaning and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DJI\u2019s decision to highlight KTV Working Drone globally underlines the maturity of the technology and the growing importance of drone-based solutions in the future of building maintenance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is widely known that KTV Group on Ask\u00f8y outside Bergen developed KTV Working Drone, which is now in use in 68 countries worldwide.
