MetaRPAS- Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems

METARPAS, also written ㈜메타파스, is an industrial drone platform company in South Korea. The site says it inspects energy and facility infrastructure with autonomous drone flight and AI analysis. The company was founded on 27 January 2016. Its head office is in Naju, Jeollanam-do.

The company's main products are SOLVIT, META GCS and DRONE STATION. SOLVIT inspects solar power plants with drones and AI. It finds hot spots and cell faults and produces reports with estimated power loss. META GCS is a drone control system. DRONE STATION is an unmanned station that swaps drone batteries in 90 seconds.

The site says all of its solutions run on the company's own S-Cube platform. The platform includes modules for AI analysis, GIS maps, security, media streaming and drone control. The site says it can add deep learning, radar and lidar, and wireless power transfer.

The site lists four fields of use. These are solar plant inspection, public facility inspection, wildfire watch, and power and wind infrastructure. Public facility work includes stadiums and bridges, with 5G live video and crack tracking. Power work covers transmission lines, wind turbines and crop analysis.

The site lists results from real projects. It says a 10 MW solar plant inspection takes about half a day, compared with about 20 days by hand. It says analysis time is cut by 50 percent. It says the drone station can control nine live video channels at once. The site names KT, Jeonnam Technopark and Wonju City as partners.

The site has a contact form for SOLVIT, META GCS and DRONE STATION projects. The phone number is 010-9516-2662. Office hours are 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and 9:00 to 13:00 on Saturdays. The research center is in Yongin, Gyeonggi.
