KTV Working Drone has successfully completed cleaning of land-based fish farm tanks for Samherji in Iceland, demonstrating how autonomous drone technology can be used in demanding environments where hygiene, safety, quality and operational efficiency are critical.
KTV Working Drone technology is specifically developed for professional cleaning and designed to meet the requirements associated with cleaning in fish farm and industrial environments. A key part of the technology is autonomous flight, enabling the drone to follow predefined cleaning patterns and perform the work systematically and consistently.
Autonomous flight provides an important advantage compared with traditional manual cleaning and other mechanical solutions. The technology makes it possible to standardize the cleaning process, achieve more consistent quality and reduce the need for personnel to carry out physically demanding or potentially hazardous work inside large fish farm tanks.
Land-based fish farming is developing rapidly worldwide. Samherji’s facility in Iceland alone is planned to include more than 200 tanks requiring regular cleaning. This creates a significant need for solutions that can deliver repeatable, efficient and scalable cleaning operations.
With autonomous programs, KTV Working Drone can perform predefined cleaning sequences with controlled movement and systematic coverage. This represents an important step towards making professional cleaning increasingly automated, documented and less dependent on manual execution.
For the fish farming industry, the potential is considerable: improved HSE, consistent cleaning quality, increased efficiency and a technology platform designed for repeated operations at scale.
KTV Working Drone technology is today represented across 67 countries, and the successful operation in Iceland demonstrates another important application for autonomous drone cleaning.
As land-based fish farming continues to expand, autonomous cleaning technology can become an important part of how fish farms approach safety, quality and efficiency in the years ahead.
