What sets KTV apart
KTV is the world's only approved provider of fully autonomous drone technology for exterior cleaning, inspection, and surface treatment. No other company operates with the same level of proprietary programming and patented safety systems.
As South East Asia's first GRESB member for drone data solutions, we deliver independently verifiable ESG data that supports green building certifications, investor disclosures, and Thailand's upcoming Climate Change Act compliance.
Through partnerships with INSPEKT AI (asset intelligence) and SKK Thailand (coatings & renovation), we offer end-to-end building lifecycle management — from construction to maintenance to ESG reporting.
KTV is expanding into drone-enabled painting services, adding another dimension to our surface treatment capabilities. This positions us as the only provider offering cleaning, inspection, treatment, AND painting from a single autonomous platform.
