InFlightAI (formerly Levatas)
6.4/10InFlightAI, formerly Levatas, is a computer vision platform that analyzes drone and robot inspection data to automate industrial asset maintenance and site security patrols.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
InFlightAI is the new name for Levatas, a Florida company that announced the change in September 2026. It builds a visual AI platform that processes RGB images, thermal images and video captured by Skydio X10 drones, Skydio docks and Boston Dynamics Spot robots. It then flags problems in real time during a flight or in post-flight analysis. Its model library lists about 37 ready-made models. Asset maintenance models cover analog gauge reading, corrosion, cracks, hotspots, insulators, fuses, utility poles, powerline splices and vegetation encroachment. Security patrol models cover fence anomalies, person detection, licence plates and weapons. Results below a confidence threshold go to human reviewers, and their feedback is used to retrain the models on the customer's own data. Telemetry places each detection on a map, time series analysis tracks how an asset changes over time, and the platform writes customizable post-flight reports automatically. Boston Dynamics named Levatas its first Certified Technology Partner for Industrial AI in 2023. The platform integrates with IBM Maximo, Oracle EAM, IFS Cloud, MaintainX, Boston Dynamics Orbit, Skydio Cloud, Databricks and AWS, and an API is available. It can be deployed in a private cloud, on-premises or at the edge. The main fit is utilities, energy producers, manufacturers and refineries that already run drone or robot inspection programs. Pricing is not published. Skydio X10 customers get a 30-day free trial, and everyone else has to contact sales. The main limitation is that InFlightAI is an analytics layer, not a full maintenance system. It depends on partner hardware and on your EAM for work orders, and it has almost no public user reviews.

Who InFlightAI (formerly Levatas) is best for
Best software for UtilitiesGood fit
Its models for poles, cross arms, insulators, fuses, powerline splices and substation hotspots are built specifically for electric utility inspections.
The vendor names oil and gas, petrochemical and power generation customers such as Chevron and TransBay Cable, and offers gauge, leak and thermal models.
It connects to EAM systems such as Maximo and Oracle EAM, can be deployed on-premises or in a private cloud, and offers custom model development, which suits large asset owners.
Deployments at Global Foundries, AB InBev and automakers use Spot robots to read gauges and monitor pumps on plant floors.
It automates routine visual rounds and pushes inspection findings into the EAM tools these teams already use.
Less suited
It needs Skydio or Spot hardware and goes through enterprise sales with no published pricing, so it is a poor fit for small firms.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- About 37 ready-to-use computer vision models, including analog gauge reading (patented in 2019), thermal hotspots, corrosion and utility pole condition, so teams do not need to train models themselves.
- Deep hardware partnerships: Boston Dynamics' first Certified Technology Partner for Industrial AI, plus a native integration with Skydio Cloud and the X10 dock.
- Low-confidence detections go to human reviewers, and their feedback retrains the models on the customer's own data, which reduces false alarms over time.
- Pushes inspection results into IBM Maximo, Oracle EAM, IFS Cloud and MaintainX, and offers an API for other systems.
- Runs as containers in a private cloud, on-premises or at the edge, and the vendor says data stays inside the customer's network.
Cons
- No public pricing. Outside the 30-day trial for Skydio X10 owners, buyers have to go through sales.
- It analyzes data but does not capture it, so you need Skydio drones, Spot robots or compatible cameras.
- No native work order or CMMS module. Maintenance jobs have to be created in a connected EAM.
- Almost no independent user reviews on G2, Capterra or forums, which makes it hard to verify the vendor's performance claims.
- No published security certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 were found on the website.
- The 2026 rebrand from Levatas means older documentation and press still use the old name, and the support portal remains on a levatas.com domain.
