ScoutDI develops drone-based systems for fully digitalized inspections of confined spaces in tank storage, oil & gas, maritime, aquaculture, agriculture, infrastructure, power generation and other industries. We are based in Trondheim, Norway.
Our main product is the Scout 137 Drone System, a game-changing drone-based inspection system that enables non-entry visual inspection of confined spaces in a safer, faster, and more cost-effective way.
Our newest addition to the system at the 2024 Maintenance Expo will be the Scout 137 UTM payload, offering Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements (UTM). Now you can collect 4K visual and UTM data via the same drone, in the same flight.
The drone is tethered to a ground station providing unlimited flight time, fully wired controls and a network connection. It has a 3D Lidar for mapping and navigation in GPS-denied environments such as for example cargo- or storage tanks.
A powerful onboard computer runs stabilization and positioning algorithms in real time, allowing you to location-tag your inspection findings.
The pilot gets real-time situational awareness from a 3D-map in the Scout App on the included control tablet: Always knowing what the volume looks like, where the drone is and where it’s heading, and what’s next to and beside it.
The ground station of our system can be connected via the internet to the Scout Portal: A globally accessible cloud-based data management service for inspection review or live streaming, data analysis and annotation, reporting and ML-based video analysis.
Main benefits of the Scout 137 Drone System:
✅ No-man-entry inspections of indoor industrial environments
✅ Unlimited flight-time, no batteries, no stress
✅ High-quality, location-tagged inspection data
✅ Cloud-based inspection data management portal
✅ Full inspection replay and live streaming
✅ One-stop shop, integrated solution from one provider.
Our solution is an end-to-end inspection data chain that extends past the memory card and integrates into your current ecosystem more easily than anything else available. This allows smoother adoption and a shorter ROI path, which will be key to the digitalization of industrial inspections and predictive maintenance.
