Visual Drone Inspection

Streamline your condition-based assessments with visual drone inspections.

Capture high-resolution imagery or video footage of your asset and use real-time data for robust analysis and assessment, predictive maintenance, and repair plans.

Visual drone inspections tackle problems associated with traditional methods - increasing efficiency, improving safety, enhancing accessibility, and automating data collection for more accurate results.

• Safety & Accessibility: Drones eliminate the need for workers to physically access hazardous or hard-to-reach areas and remove the requirement for ladders, scaffolding, or rope access.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Cover large areas quickly, reducing labour costs and minimising or removing costly downtime. Save money by removing the need for scaffolding, cherry-pickers, or rope access.

• Quality Data: Capture high-resolution imagery or video footage to identify defects or anomalies accurately and from a range of perspectives.

• Automation: Automate flight routes to collect consistent and repeatable data for more accurate change detection over time. For on-demand data collection, integrate permanently-sited drone-in-a-box technology.

• AI: Pair drone data with AI software for automatic defect detection.

• Documentation and Reporting: Drone inspection data can be easily documented, archived, and shared electronically, facilitating the generation of comprehensive inspection reports and documentation.

• Oil And Gas: Assess the condition of storage tanks, offshore rigs, and chimneys/smokestacks. Prevent shutdowns, cut routine maintenance time, and remove the need for rope access or scaffolding.

• Utilities: Monitor components on powerlines and wind turbines without workers having to work at height. Cover large areas quickly and navigate difficult terrain, increasing the number of assets inspected in a day. Powerlines can remain functional during inspections.

• Infrastructure: Conduct efficient and regular inspections of roads, bridges, telecommunication towers, and railways. Keep infrastructure, like railways, operational while checks are taking place. Reach areas that are usually difficult to access. Use during building and repairs for increased project tracking.

• Roof and Building Facade Inspection: Remove the need to work at height. Automate flights to fly around buildings.

• Public Safety: Provide real-time footage and vital situational awareness during an ongoing incident or emergency, shaping more effective responses and keeping crews away from danger. Also deploy for inspecting locations ahead of events.

• Scientific Drone Inspections: Obtain new insights about previously inaccessible spots, such as areas on volcanoes.

• DJI M350 RTK: Flagship enterprise drone platform that can accommodate interchangeable payloads and carry multiple cameras and sensors at once. It is IP55 rated and has advanced safety systems.

  

  

• DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise: Lightweight, compact, and portable, the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise is equipped with a 4/3 20MP wide camera and a 12MP tele camera with 56x hybrid zoom. It has a flight time of 46 minutes.

• DJI M30 Series: Where power meets portability, the DJI M30 is IP-rated, and has a 12MP 1/2'' wide camera and a 48 MP 1/2'' zoom camera with 16x optical zoom, 200x max hybrid zoom, and an 8K photo resolution.

  

  

• DJI Mini 4 Pro: Sub 250g drone with 4K imaging capabilities. Ideal for visual inspections, especially in congested areas, and for those adopting drones or starting a drone inspeciton business.
