-
Oil rig inspection – detection of rust, corrosion, wear and tear, and structural integrity
-
Structural integrity – surveys include storage tanks, gantries, walkways; cracks, rust, corrosion can be determined
-
Flare tip – allows tip monitoring without halting operations; UAV to capture close up image of tip; thermal camera to be utilized
-
Pipeline inspection – UAV to detect leakage or crack with infrared camera; miles of pipeline can be covered in a short time
-
Flare stack – inspection include the tips, supporting structure and pipe work; can be done monthly for known issues or annually for regulation commitment

Capture: Preparation
-
Plan your flight at your desk before take-off
-
Select the area to be surveyed
-
Calculate the flight paths taking into account the required altitude, terrain, and battery life
Large areas are automatically split into multiple flights

Capture: Take-off
-
The final flight plan is transmitted wirelessly to the aerial drone
-
It is launched safely from the hand or an additional catapult

Capture: Flight
-
Follow the route live on your screen
-
Controlled by the autopilot
-
Follow the specified flight path and independently takes the required aerial photographs
Wind speeds of up to 50 km/h and gusts of up to 65 km/h, rain and temperatures of -20°C to + 45°C are no problems for the most UAVs

Capture: Landing
-
The drone lands completely automatically
To circumnavigate any obstacles, recommend controlling the drone with simple movements to the left and right, assisted by the autopilot but controlled manually

Capture: Data Checking
-
After the flight, rapidly calculates a quality preview to allow you to check the data for accuracy
-
You can see immediately if there are any gaps and whether the photographs of multiple flights were overlaid correctly or incorrectly
-
A quick and zoom able image preview also reveals details so you can verify whether the requested objects were recorded

Process/Analysis
-
Various image processing programs and analysis tools can be integrated into the UAV desktop
-
Use these programs to create highly accurate aerial images, orthophotos, point clouds, triangulations, terrain models, or fully textured 3D models without any manual intervention
