ZenaTech, Inc. introduced its AI‑driven drone power‑wash platform, built on the ZenaDrone IQ Square, and announced that the system is currently undergoing testing and validation at a private flight‑testing facility in Dubai. The platform uses LiDAR scanning to generate a 3‑D map of a building, after which AI software creates an optimized wash plan that directs a tethered drone to high‑dirt zones while adjusting pressure and coverage in real time.
The tethered drone delivers water and cleaning agents directly to the building façade, eliminating the need for workers to climb scaffolding. LiDAR data feeds into the AI engine, which calculates the most efficient cleaning trajectory and pressure settings, ensuring consistent results and reduced water and chemical usage. The system’s autonomous operation is designed to transform building maintenance from a labor‑intensive, high‑risk service into a scalable, technology‑driven solution.
ZenaTech is also expanding its Drone‑as‑a‑Service (DaaS) presence in Dubai by leasing a 2,200‑sq‑ft office and a 3,000‑sq‑ft warehouse dedicated to drone operations. The new hub will serve power‑washing and other DaaS offerings for buildings, industrial infrastructure, government properties and public spaces, positioning the company to capture the growing demand for automated cleaning services in the Middle East.
The company’s CEO, Shaun Passley, Ph.D., emphasized the strategic fit of the initiative: “Our tethered, AI‑powered drone autonomy platform is designed to transform building cleaning and maintenance from a labor‑intensive, high‑risk service into a scalable, technology‑driven automated solution. By eliminating work at height, reducing labor dependency, and using LiDAR and AI to precisely target cleaning, we plan to deliver faster and more consistent results, safer operations, and lower water and chemical usage.” He added, “The global drone‑based cleaning services market is growing at 17% annually, projected to reach over USD 13 billion by 2030. We plan to leverage this opportunity by modernizing a traditional manual industry with drones, data and AI at its core. Dubai’s rapid building growth plus demanding maintenance requirements provides an ideal setting to test and validate our system laying the foundation for market expansion through our Drone as a Service network.”
ZenaTech’s expansion into Dubai marks a significant geographic and product diversification step, moving beyond its North American surveying and defense focus. By deploying an AI‑driven, autonomous platform in a high‑growth market, the company positions itself to capture a share of the projected USD 13 billion global market for drone‑based cleaning services by 2030, while establishing a scalable, labor‑saving solution that can be replicated across other regions.
