Adam Viney – UAV Operations Manager shares his six key insights on the future of UAV technology in industrial inspections
As we know, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are becoming essential for industrial inspections, offering unmatched access, safety, and efficiency. At Sutro Group, as we expand our UAV department, we are excited about the transformative potential that these technologies hold. Here are some key trends I anticipate will shape the future of UAVs in industrial inspections.
Project Spotlight: Vale - Efficient Inspection and Cleaning of Nickel Decomposition Vessel
By utilising advanced techniques such as rope access and confined space operations, the project ensured efficient cleaning of the vessel's interior and conducted Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM) inspections without the need for traditional scaffolding. This method not only reduced material and labour costs but also allowed for quicker mobilisation and seamless transitions between cleaning and inspection processes, significantly minimising production downtime.
Understanding LiDAR Technology in the Elios 3 UAV
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology has transformed how we approach mapping and inspection tasks in various industries. By utilising laser light to measure distances, LiDAR creates high-resolution, three-dimensional representations of environments and assets.This technology is not just a trend; it has become essential for precision and efficiency in asset management.
