Elios 3 indoor inspection

Indoor inspections are common in (industrial) asset management. Think of the inspection of all kinds of confined spaces such as tanks, silos, blast furnaces, flue gas ducts, (transport) pipes, sewers, chimneys, reactors, distillation columns, ….)

Often these assets are inspected by placing scaffolding, using rope techniques, aerial work platforms, placing man guards and human entry.

This makes these inspections not only expensive, but also dangerous. Moreover, the use of scaffolding can damage the asset.

To avoid above situations, SkyeBase inspects these assets with an indoor drone.

In addition, this drone can also be used to measure indoor stock volumes.

Elios 3
SkyeBase is one of the first in the Benelux to have the Elios 3. This all-round indoor drone is decisive in its design and capabilities. Captured images are steadier than ever due to its improved calibration software. The built-in GPS system provides centimeter-accurate positioning, supported by a 4K and thermal camera.

Lidar
Decisive is the lidar payload that SkyeBase attaches under the drone. This creates accurate 3D visualizations, even in very dark and dusty environments. On these 3D visualizations, defects are annotated and localized. As a result, maintenance actions can easily be reviewed with colleagues and stakeholders, as well as scheduled. This in a fully digital way which makes remote working possible!

What inspections can you carry out with the Elios 3?
This indoor drone can be used for visual inspections for all types of defects, such as cracks, deformations, corrosion, checking welds and the overall condition of an asset. It also performs simple thermal checks, measurements and formatting of 3D visualizations.
