Horizon Aerobotics, a Houston-based startup, aims to meet the growing demand for drone infrastructure inspections, starting with railyard inspections. The company forecasts that major railroads could require up to 9,000 daily drone flights for inspections.

Horizon has developed its own drones and machine-learning models to identify potential derailment causes in railyards. They plan to establish a remote operations center in Pennsylvania to enhance operational capabilities and support future growth in the drone industry.
