InFlightAI (formerly Levatas)

Levatas, a Palm Beach County industrial AI company, rebranded as InFlightAI on September 3, 2026. The company says the new name marks a “new era of expansion and growth.” Its software uses computer vision to automate inspections of industrial equipment and security checks at physical sites.

The company was founded and is led by Chris Nielsen and has long been based in West Palm Beach. It now describes its product as “visual AI for asset maintenance and physical site security.” The platform analyzes standard photos, thermal images and video captured by drones, ground robots and fixed cameras. It then flags problems such as thermal anomalies, abnormal gauge readings and unauthorized people. Detections are tagged with GPS locations, and staff can review results before they are sent to customers’ enterprise systems. Models can run inside a customer’s own private cloud, on-premises servers or edge devices, so inspection data stays on the customer’s network.

InFlightAI’s customers are in energy, utilities, manufacturing and oil and gas. In 2023, Boston Dynamics said the combined Levatas and Spot robot system was in use at companies including Anheuser-Busch InBev, Avangrid, BMW and GlobalFoundries.

Partnerships: In June 2023, Boston Dynamics named Levatas its first Certified Technology Partner and the first third-party computer vision provider built into the Spot robot. The first feature was automated reading of analog gauges. In June 2024, Levatas announced a partnership with drone maker Skydio. The two companies’ system runs AI analysis during and after flights by Skydio X10 drones and Dock systems. In October 2025, the company announced an integration with NVIDIA’s Metropolis platform. It presented with PG&E at NVIDIA GTC in 2026 and with AEP Ohio at DistribuTECH 2026.
