What Flyted does

Flyted S.r.l. is an Italian innovative startup headquartered in Milan that operates a vertically integrated UAS (drone) and laser-scanning surveying business targeting large infrastructure operators. The company deploys custom-engineered six-rotor drones with carbon fiber airframes capable of carrying >4kg top-mounted payloads, paired with topographic-grade Riegl LiDAR scanners (aerial and terrestrial), SLAM-based mobile mapping, photogrammetry sensors, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and multi-spectral imaging sensors (RGB up to 100 MP, LWIR, SWIR, hyperspectral up to 1,000 bands). Survey deliverables include geo-referenced 3D Digital Twins accurate to within 5mm, dense point clouds, CAD drawings, BIM models up to LOD F, DEM/DTM terrain models, and high-resolution photographic inspections, with the company claiming delivery times reduced by over 90% versus traditional methods.

The proprietary TED (The Everything Data) cloud platform aggregates these deliverables into a GIS-based information management layer with an interactive asset catalog, maintenance scheduling, and AI-powered deterioration detection on inspection imagery. Customers are enterprise infrastructure operators across four verticals: transport (bridges, viaducts, roads), telecommunications (BTS towers and antenna installations), energy (aqueducts, pipelines, grids, renewables), and real estate. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services engagements, supplemented by recurring access to the TED platform; pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed. The company is part of the United S.p.A. conglomerate, has secured institutional investment from CDP Venture Capital SGR and AVM Gestioni SGR, won the Smart&Start Invitalia national startup grant, and maintains research and technology partnerships with CNR, Riegl, Microgeo, Ardupilot, Bentley Systems, and Autodesk. Operations are currently concentrated in Lombardy, Italy, with three sites: legal headquarters in Milan, operational headquarters in Sesto San Giovanni, and a training facility in Cairate.

Core offering

Flyted provides high-precision infrastructure surveying, inspection, and monitoring services using custom-built UAS (drones) and topographic-grade laser scanners. Deliverables include geo-referenced point clouds, 3D Digital Twins, CAD drawings, BIM models, photogrammetric meshes, and high-resolution RGB and multi-spectral inspection imagery. All collected data is integrated into TED, Flyted's proprietary cloud-based Information Management platform with AI-powered deterioration detection, enabling asset managers to verify as-built conditions, schedule maintenance, and monitor infrastructure continuously.

Product overview

Flyted is an innovative startup providing a integrated portfolio of survey and inspection services for infrastructure assets. The core offering consists of four interconnected products: (1) Gemelli Digitali – LIDAR, delivering precision 3D digital twins via terrestrial and aerial laser scanners with millimeter accuracy; (2) Gemelli Digitali – Fotogrammetria, providing hyper-realistic photogrammetric mesh models for visual inspection; (3) Ispezioni fotografiche, offering high-resolution RGB and multi-spectral imaging inspections; and (4) TED – The Everything Data, a proprietary cloud Information Management platform that integrates and manages all collected data (point clouds, BIM models, inspection images) with AI-powered analytics for automated deterioration detection. The TED platform serves as the central hub connecting all survey deliverables, enabling asset managers to verify conditions, calculate measurements, schedule maintenance, and leverage AI with up to 97% accuracy for identifying infrastructure damage.
