Built for how smaller airports actually operate.
FODBOT is designed for the facilities that enterprise FOD systems overlook — not because your safety obligations are smaller, but because your resources are.
Non-Hub / GA / Municipal Airports
Do more with the crew you have.
For smaller airports running lean operations, every hour of crew time matters. FODBOT handles the routine sweep-and-log cycle autonomously, freeing your team for work that requires human judgment.
- Limited staff covering multiple responsibilities
- Inspection frequency constrained by crew availability
- No budget for large enterprise automation systems
- Documentation gaps creating SMS and audit risk
- Autonomous daily coverage at $450/month
- No dedicated operator required after setup
- Structured inspection logs for your SMS program
- Pilot-first commitment reduces adoption risk
Private & Corporate Aviation Facilities
Operational excellence starts on the ground.
Private and corporate aviation facilities demand consistent, high-standard operations. FODBOT provides the inspection consistency and documentation trail that aligns with the operational standards your clients expect.
- Client expectations for safety and operational rigor
- Staff time absorbed by routine surface monitoring
- Limited third-party validation of inspection quality
- Insurance and liability documentation requirements
- Consistent machine-driven coverage, every cycle
- Inspection reports available for client and insurer review
- Subscription model fits operating cost structure

Small Commercial & Regional Hub Airports
Safety documentation that holds up to scrutiny.
Regional airports face increasing regulatory expectation around SMS implementation and FOD management documentation. FODBOT provides the consistent, verifiable inspection record your compliance program needs.
- Regulatory and audit pressure on SMS documentation
- Inconsistent inspection quality across shifts and crew
- Manual logs that don't meet evolving documentation standards
- Cost of missed debris incidents — financial and reputational
- Geo-referenced, timestamped inspection records per run
- Consistent coverage regardless of shift changes
- Supports ICAO-aligned FOD management documentation
- Complements, doesn't replace, required human inspections
