Aero Velocity Executive Erik Schultz Accelerates National Adoption of AI-Driven Drone Services Following Liberty Drones Acquisition

Cincinnati , OH - December 2025 - Aero Velocity (AeroVelocity.com), a rapidly expanding leader in drone robotics, AI-powered inspection technology, and commercial cleaning innovation, announced earlier this year the continued rise of Erik Schultz, former CEO of Liberty Drones and now Executive at Aero Velocity. Schultz is spearheading the company's national expansion of advanced drone services-including CleanSweepTM, TankVisionTM, SiteSnapTM, TerraVisionTM, and HeatScopeTM-positioning Aero Velocity at the forefront of AI, data, and robotic automation for industrial and commercial assets.

Schultz joined Aero Velocity after the acquisition of Liberty Drones, the company he founded and scaled into a pioneering provider of drone washing, drone cleaning, and is now heavily focused on industrial internal asset inspection, and commercial cleaning support for buildings, tanks, and infrastructure. His transition into Aero Velocity has injected a new level of operational sophistication and AI-driven strategy into the company's growing ecosystem of drone and robotics solutions.

Driving the Future of AI + Drone Operations:

At Aero Velocity, Schultz leads the commercialization and national rollout of the company's productized service suite:

CleanSweepTM - AI-optimized drone cleaning and drone washing for mid-rise/high-rise buildings, industrial facilities, and large-scale commercial properties.

TankVisionTM - Advanced internal asset inspection using robotics, LiDAR, thermal and optical gas imaging, and AI to detect structural changes, corrosion, and integrity risk across tanks and critical infrastructure.

SiteSnapTM - A full-stack digital-twins platform generating 3D models, digital twins, orthomosaics, and visual intelligence using next-gen drone and sensor robotics.

TerraVisionTM - Precision land modeling, LiDAR mapping, subsurface data capture, using ground penetrating radar (GPR) and multispectral analysis for infrastructure, utilities, and environmental sectors.

HeatScopeTM - AI-powered thermal and gas-imaging workflows identifying leaks, hotspots, energy inefficiencies, and hazardous anomalies.

These platforms integrate artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, and high-fidelity sensor data to deliver a single-source operational picture for industrial asset owners across energy, utilities, manufacturing, aviation, and commercial real estate.

An Executive Track Record Built on Innovation:

Schultz is widely recognized for redefining how drones and AI can reshape industrial operations. His work at Liberty Drones helped establish drone washing and drone cleaning as legitimate, scalable solutions for commercial cleaning markets-reducing risk, labor, cost, and downtime.

Today at Aero Velocity, he continues that trajectory by championing internal asset inspection, digital transformation, and AI-enabled maintenance programs for enterprise-level clients nationwide.

"Erik Schultz is one of the driving forces behind modern drone and robotics adoption in commercial and industrial markets," said a spokesperson for Aero Velocity. "His leadership is accelerating our growth and reinforcing Aero Velocity as the nation's go-to partner for AI, drones, and advanced inspection technology."

Scaling an AI-Powered Infrastructure Ecosystem

Under Schultz's leadership, Aero Velocity is executing a multi-vertical expansion strategy across infrastructure, energy, tank terminals, transportation, and government sectors. The company's integrations of AI, drone robotics, thermal sensors, LiDAR, and automated reporting workflows are enabling organizations to:

1) reduce operational risk

2) eliminate unnecessary scaffolding and confined-space entries

3) accelerate inspections and cleaning

4) unify fragmented data into actionable insights

5) improve asset reliability and compliance

Schultz continues to represent Aero Velocity at national conferences and industry associations, advancing the conversation around how AI-enhanced drones can transform the full lifecycle of inspection, maintenance, and infrastructure intelligence.
