Problem solving

AirSpector automates the inspection of hard-to-reach industrial facilities using drones and AI. This solution enhances safety, reduces inspection time, and improves accuracy by leveraging advanced technologies.

How it works:

  • The service creates a flight task for the inspected object and loads it into the drone.
  • The operator launches the inspection, and the drone flies over and photographs the object in automatic mode.
  • Photo materials are uploaded to the service for processing.
  • The data is processed using machine learning and spatial analysis methods.
  • Examples of analysis include 3D reconstruction and creation of BIM models, detection of equipment types, determination of corrosion area, measurement of dimensions, etc.

Value

  • No special level of training required
  • Reduced time spent on site: up to 100 sites per day instead of 5-10 sites per day for one team
  • Reduced cost of work
