Xer Technologies company

Heavy-duty, high-payload drones for industrial inspections, public safety, and search-and-rescue missions, offering strong lift capability and dependable control.

Xer Technologies overview

Xer Technologies AG is a Switzerland-based developer of heavy-duty unmanned aerial systems designed for the world’s most demanding industrial and environmental missions. Headquartered in Dietikon (Zurich) with an additional office in Singapore, the company delivers long-range, hybrid-engine drones engineered for reliability, endurance, and professional-grade data acquisition. Xer Technologies operates at the intersection of aviation engineering, automation, and mission-critical field operations, enabling organizations to gather actionable insights safely, efficiently, and at scale.

Our Focus

At the core of Xer Technologies is a commitment to advanced heavy-duty drone platforms—aircraft built to withstand adverse weather, carry significant payloads, fly far beyond visual line of sight, and deliver consistent, high-quality data for infrastructure owners, energy companies, emergency responders, and environmental agencies.

While the company offers complete solutions for inspection, detection, and mission automation, its primary focus is the design, production, and commercial deployment of powerful UAS platforms. These aircraft expand operational capabilities across vast territories, difficult terrain, and hazardous environments, helping customers replace traditional, high-risk methods with safer and more sustainable alternatives.

Mission and Vision

Mission: To develop heavy-duty UAS capable of generating actionable data insights that empower our clients’ most critical operational decisions.
Vision: A safer, more efficient, and more sustainable world enabled by advanced UAS technology.

A Background Shaped by Field Expertise

Xer Technologies originated as an early commercial drone operator, specializing in complex missions such as search & rescue and long-range surveillance. This operational foundation shaped the company’s engineering philosophy: drones must be robust, reliable, easy to deploy, and capable of performing in real-world conditions rather than controlled environments.

Over the years, the company evolved from mission services into full-scale drone manufacturing. Strategic investment and a global expansion phase led to the commercial launch of the X8 platform—an embodiment of Xer’s experience in hybrid power systems, long-endurance flight, and data-driven applications. Today, the company’s focus remains on continuously refining its heavy-duty UAS line to meet emerging challenges across industries.

What We Build

Xer Technologies is known for its hybrid-electric heavy-lift drone platforms, engineered for extended airtime and BVLOS operations. These systems are designed for integration with advanced payloads, including high-resolution imaging, LiDAR, multispectral systems, thermal sensors, and gas-detection technologies. The emphasis is on reliability, endurance, and adaptability—allowing each UAS to be customized to specific mission profiles and environmental conditions.

Where Our Drones Make an Impact

Infrastructure Inspection

Long-range UAS from Xer dramatically increase efficiency in inspecting power lines, pipelines, and rail networks. With multi-hour flight capability and support for advanced sensing payloads, each mission captures high-value visual and structural data while reducing cost, downtime, and operational risk. For many clients, these drones present a viable alternative to helicopter-based inspection.

Search & Rescue Operations

Xer heavy-duty drones enable rapid response teams to cover vast areas, stay airborne for extended periods, and operate in challenging weather. Their payload flexibility allows responders to deploy essential equipment from the air, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes in time-critical missions.

Public Safety

Law enforcement and emergency agencies rely on aerial visibility during crises. Xer drones deliver stable, long-duration observation capabilities from a safe distance and can carry advanced imaging systems for crowd monitoring, suspect tracking, and accident assessment—supporting decision-making when ground access is limited or dangerous.

Humanitarian Action

In disaster-relief environments, Xer drones offer reliable aerial support for supply delivery, terrain assessment, and risk mitigation. Their heavy-lift capability and resilience make them suitable for operations in remote areas, conflict zones, or regions affected by severe weather.

Environmental Missions

Xer Technologies supports conservation and environmental monitoring by enabling long-duration missions focused on mapping forests, tracking wildlife, assessing coastal erosion, and combating illegal activities such as poaching. The ability to integrate diverse environmental sensors transforms UAS operations into powerful ecological intelligence tools.

A Platform Built for the Future

With its hybrid-engine architecture, scalable design, and compatibility with emerging sensor technologies, the Xer heavy-duty UAS platform is built to evolve alongside the industries it serves. The company continues to expand its engineering capabilities, automate mission workflows, and support global clients in transitioning to smarter, more sustainable aerial operations.
