Autonomous indoor inspection

Your facility,
inspected every night.

Noxen is a portable dock and two drones. Every night they scan your facility, flag what changed and what might be wrong, and let an engineer inspect any issue remotely — without walking the floor.

01 — The problem

Inspections run on a calendar. Corrosion doesn’t.

Industrial facilities depend on periodic inspections by certified teams. The process is bulky, expensive and infrequent, and it sends people into places that are hard or unsafe to reach.

Between visits, corrosion, leaks and damage develop unnoticed. By the time the next walk-through finds them, they are bigger and costlier to fix.

02 — The system

Not a drone. A system.

A dock that keeps two drones flying, a mapping drone that does the nightly work, and a small drone that gets the close-up.

A / Base

The Dock

An easily transportable case that houses both drones, most of the system’s compute and the wireless link to the drones.

  • Battery hot-swap: land, swap, fly again
  • Swapped batteries charge inside
  • Marked landing pads for precise landing

B / Primary

The Overseer

The mapping and inspection drone. Every night, once everyone has left, it flies the facility, rescans it, compares against the baseline and reports anything that might be wrong.

  • 3D LiDAR + RGB camera
  • Fully indoor, no GPS required
  • Returns to the dock on its own, even if the link drops

C / Follow-up

The Scout

A smaller drone for close-ups. The Overseer guides it to the exact spot of a flagged issue. On arrival, the engineer takes control from anywhere to capture high-resolution photos and video.

  • Delivered to the issue autonomously
  • Engineer takes over on arrival
  • Overseer tracks it to help prevent collisions

03 — How it works

From baseline to decision, without the walk-through.

  1. 01

    Baseline

    After a real human inspection, the Overseer scans the facility to capture its ideal state.

    Once
  2. 02

    Nightly scan

    Every night the Overseer wakes up, flies the facility autonomously, rescans it and returns to the dock.

  3. 03

    Report

    You receive a nightly report. Flagged issues are pinned on a map of your facility at their exact locations.

    Engineer
  4. 04

    Remote follow-up

    Open an issue to see all available data. The Scout is sent to that spot, and you control the close-up imagery.

  5. 05

    Decide and act

    Mark it as a real issue or a false alarm, record a diagnosis, and order a human inspection or parts so it’s repaired on time.

04 — Perception

It knows the difference between change and a problem.

Facilities change every day. Noxen ignores the normal and flags what looks wrong — and predicts what the issue could be.

CHANGE · PALLET MOVED · IGNORED FLAG 01 · POSSIBLE CORROSION

Predicts

Not just what changed. What it could be.

Every flag comes with a likely cause, so you start from a hypothesis instead of a raw difference.

Learns

Useful on day one. Better every night.

Each scan, with your verdict and diagnosis, feeds back into the model. Noxen tailors itself to your facility automatically.

Remembers

The full history of your facility.

Long-term memory survives inspection-team turnover and shows you your weakest points and what may need redesigning.

05 — Why Noxen

Daily coverage, fewer trips, people out of harm’s way.

i

Daily, not periodic

An inspection every night instead of on an occasional schedule.

ii

People stay out of danger

The drones go into hazardous and hard-to-reach areas so your team doesn’t have to.

iii

Fewer walk-throughs and trips

Your engineers still make every call. Noxen saves them the routine walk-through and the drive.

iv

Smarter over time

Every verdict makes the next night’s read more accurate for your facility.

06 — Where we are

Early, and building in the open.

Noxen is an early-stage company. Here is exactly where the system stands.

  1. DoneAutonomy software for indoor mapping, localization and navigation, tested in simulation.
  2. NowBuilding the physical Overseer prototype.
  3. NowTalking with facilities about the pilot program.
  4. NextThe Scout.
