Drones are powerful and increasingly essential tools for inspection work. Often paired with AI-powered processing tools, drones provide an efficient and safe way to capture and report on the current condition of the assets being inspected.
Drones can reach areas that are risky to access by, or on some occasions, can be entirely inaccessible to humans. Roofs, building façades, cranes, and other interior confined space inspections are all possible.
Because of the speed and convenience of this method of inspection, key assets can be more regularly checked for their condition, allowing for defects to be spotted earlier. Drone inspections can be carried out in a way that minimises downtime and removes the requirement to shut down critical infrastructure in some scenarios.
Small FPV (First Person View) drones can provide very detailed inspections in tight spaces. Using propeller guards and sometimes even tethers, the drones are also kept safe.
