Dubai uses robot cleaner drones to clean Metro stations

Robot cleaner drones are being used to clean Dubai Metro stations and reduce labor requirements and water use.

The road and transport authority (RTA), in cooperation with Keolis MHI (the Dubai Metro operator and mainer and Operator Dubai Tram), has launched a pioneer initiative that displayed drone technology to clean the facades of the Dubai metro and tram stations.

The initiative is part of RTA’s commitment to explore solutions ready for the future that improve security, optimize resources and support environmental objectives.

This test marks a significant change in conventional facades cleaning methods, which traditionally requires up to 15 people per station.

The drone -based solution operates with a smaller team of 8 people, significantly reducing labor needs by more than 50 percent and minimizing potential risks associated with work in height or in complex access areas.

Technology provides an efficient solution compared to the conventional system.

Mohammed al Ameeri, maintenance director of the RTA rail agency, said: “This pilot initiative reflects RTA’s commitment to adopt innovative technologies that improve security, optimize resources and support sustainability objectives.

“The drone -based facades cleaning test is a step towards smarter maintenance practices that reduce environmental impact and safeguard the well -being of workers, totally aligned with our strategy to transform mobility services throughout the city.”

To AMEERI added: “Friends reduce the need for workers to be exposed to high -risk areas, while using less water per station is a significant contribution to our environmental strategy. Working with Keolis MHI provides many and opportunities for opportunities for opportunities for opportunities for automated solutions by Porto, we can support the maintenance of safer and most green infrastructure.”

The trial has already been providing valuable information about the potential for cleaning by drones.

While traditional methods still offer greater flexibility and details in some areas, drone solution has an exciting starting point for future refinement.

RTA and Keolis MHI are evaluating opportunities to combine both approaches to a hybrid model that balances the sustainability, effective and operational efficiency.
