Case Study
Blended Inspections In Manufacturing Plant
Sky-Futures worked with Bureau Veritas surveyor team to survey a client’s large production plant providing an in-depth view of the condition of their crane gantry track. By deploying the Elios collision-tolerance drone with a high-resolution camera, the inaccessible areas were accessed and the 400m of track and gantry were inspected. Only small sections of the production plant were shut down during the 2-day inspection. The inspection was conducted by a team of two people: Sky-Futures drone pilot and a Bureau Veritas engineer. The 400m inspected area was split into 10-meter sections. Each section was surveyed from both sides using the Elios, taking approximately 15 minutes to complete including establishing a safety parameter and all necessary flight check.
