Revolution in Tethered Technology: How MEWE’s FC30 is Rewriting the Cost Logic of the High-Altitude Cleaning Industry with Ground
In the traditional high-altitude cleaning field, efficiency and safety have always been a pair of difficult contradictions to reconcile — manual rope hanging operations clean an of less than 600㎡ per day, and there are significant safety risks; while battery-powered drones are limited to a 30-minute endurance, requiring frequentoffs and landings to replace batteries, and the actual working time per day is less than half.
The appearance of Maiyouwei FC30 tethered cleaning drones revolutionizing the efficiency of high-altitude cleaning with the core breakthrough of “ground power supply and water supply”.
Efficiency leap: from “fragmented operation” to “marathon cleaning”
By continuously supplying power and water through ground-based base stations,30 can operate for 8–10 hours without interruption (the Maiyouwei team has already passed the 24-hour tethering limit test), a daily cleaning area of up to 10,000㎡ per machine, which is more than 10 times that of a manual team. Its 23bar ultra-high-pressure water pump, combined with the IP68 waterproof design, effectively solves the industry problem of water pressure decay with height, forming a “never-ending working mode.
Cost Reconstruction: The Long-term Benefit Code Behind High Investment
Energy Cost Sharply Reduced: Compared with the battery solution, which has battery loss cost of 30 RMB per flight and needs to be charged about 20 times a day, the tethered power supply has an energy consumption of only3–5 RMB per hour;
Insurance Leverage Effect: Due to the avoidance of high-altitude manual work, the annual premium expenditure is reduced by more 60%;
Green Operation and Maintenance: From Point Equipment to Systematic Carbon Reduction
When FC30 is combined with Geely Radar’s pure electric truck, it forms a “zero-emission mobile workstation”. This closed-loop design of “equipment-energy-scene” happens to echo the transformation requirement ofmechanical replacement of manual labor” in the “14th Five-Year Plan for Building Energy Efficiency and Green Building Development” issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-ural Development.
Industry experts point out: “Tethered technology has evolved drones from ‘tools’ to ‘production platforms’, which is no less significant than the of the construction industry by tower cranes.” With the inclusion of high-altitude cleaning in the list of government-purchased services in Wuhan, Chengdu other places, Miao Youwei’s dual tethered high-altitude cleaning technology path may become the new infrastructure standard for urban operation and maintenance.
