At Jack Spinks-Marino Casem Stadium in Alcorn State, Mississippi, Lucid Bots deployed its new sealing module integrated with the Sherpa drone<\/strong>, transforming the way concrete is protected in large-scale structures.<\/p>\n\n

This drone, equipped with an aerial siloxane application system, sealed the stadium’s facade in record time<\/strong>, reducing operating costs by 80% compared to traditional methods involving scaffolding or \n scaffolding or lifting platforms<\/a>\n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

New waterproofing standard with Sherpa drone<\/h2>\n\n

The project, carried out in collaboration with the contractor FlyByShine and using the hydrophobic sealant WByShine Siloxane Concentrate \n Siloxane Concentrate WB<\/a>\n<\/strong> Prosoco’s WB Siloxane Concentrate hydrophobic sealant, highlighted the Sherpa’s efficiency. The device covered surfaces at a rate of more than 200 square feet per minute<\/strong>, without exposing workers to hazardous heights. <\/p>\n\n

This technology allows contractors to complete jobs that used to take days in just hours, thanks to a modular design that integrates pump, hose, regulators and intuitive software. In addition, the drone adapts to different structural geometries and wind conditions, improving the consistency of the finish. <\/p>\n\n

Embedded AI and operational autonomy<\/h2>\n\n

Lucid Bots’ recent acquisition of Avianna has boosted the capabilities of Avianna’s Sherpa \n Sherpa drone<\/a>\n<\/strong>drone, incorporating \n embedded artificial intelligence<\/a>\n<\/strong> that allows it to interpret voice or chat commands. This reduces the need for specialized technical operators and streamlines field operations. <\/p>\n\n

From its headquarters in North Carolina, Lucid Bots continues to expand its vision of automating dangerous and repetitive tasks in the maintenance and construction industry. \n maintenance and construction<\/a>\n<\/strong>. More than 500 Sherpa units are already operating in different sectors across the country, from cleaning to surface coating. <\/p>\n\n

Opinions of the sector<\/h2>\n\n

Representatives from Prosoco and FlyByShine agreed that the solution is not only faster, but also improves the safety and quality of the application. <\/p>\n\n

\n

Before anyone put up scaffolding, we were done.<\/p>\nRic McCluskey, owner of FlyByShine, commented.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

\n

The drone eliminates overhead work and provides faster results with a uniform finish that meets the manufacturer’s standards.<\/p>\nAdded Prosoco’s Bill Daniel.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Market outlook and future expansion<\/h2>\n\n

Lucid Bots is already preparing the beta launch of its complete sealing kit, aimed at contractors interested in increasing efficiency without compromising safety. This breakthrough aims to conquer a relevant portion of the market for facade maintenance, waterproofing and protection of exterior surfaces. <\/p>\n\n

With this step, the company reaffirms its commitment to the technological transformation of the sector, positioning drones as strategic allies in infrastructure conservation.<\/p>\n\n
