Falcker wants to be “a disruptive force in the market and bring an all-in-one solution that can be used globally”.
In 2017, Falcker began life as a hobby project between two friends. They would use their drones and the software they had begun to develop to help potato farmers assess land and help crop growth in a data-driven way.
Thisdeveloped to working with everyone from world-renowned potato chip makers, McCain, as well as Wageningen Agricultural University.
Now focused on the energy sector, the Falcker technology package is being used to help large-scale facilities remotely inspect their storage tanks. These drone-based tank assessments have helped Falcker become what they are today, with the initial project being sponsored by a group of the big oil players – Falcker now works with BP, SABIC and Vopak.
Having an inspection system that uses drones takes away a big part of operator risk. Once the data is collated within the Falcker software platform it’s completely accessible by a host of different teams, from operations and health & safety, to quality control.
Having established themselves in ARA, (Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Antwerp), they can now begin to work with their global partners further afield.
Following a successful project in Singapore, the company will now establish an office there. Beyond that, they want to complete the set with a setup in Houston as well as the Middle East.
