The USAF resolution test chart
Quality of visual information via USAF 1951 Drones are being increasingly utilized for inspections, transportation, and security. They capture large volumes of data and there is a frequent question of whether a drone inspection can be considered equivalent to a visual inspection by the naked eye. A crucial aspect of drone technology is the quality […]
UT Measurements
UT Measurements THE CHALLENGE In the industry, wall thickness measurements need to be conducted regularly for statutory testing or inspections. To perform these thickness measurements (TMLs, Thickness Measurement Locations) or corrosion surveys, these locations must be quickly, yet safely, accessed to avoid jeopardizing the continuity of the (production) process. Specifically, for TMLs that are difficult […]
Orthophoto
Orthophoto An example of an orthophoto of the front facade of a church. When we zoom in, we can see damage on the stained glass window, allowing us to pinpoint its exact location. THE CHALLENGE After conducting an inspection with drones, we have a lot of individual (detail) photos. Such individual detail photos lose a […]
UT wall thickness measurement with indoor drone
The new payload for wall thickness measurements The Challenge In the process industry and tank terminals, wall thickness measurements need to be regularly conducted for statutory inspections or inspections. To perform these thickness measurements (TMLs, Thickness Measurement Locations) or corrosion investigations, these locations need to be accessed quickly but safely to avoid jeopardizing the continuity […]

Thermo-graphic inspections
The Challenge Many industrial installations and infrastructure require an increased inspection regime due to end-of-life concerns or life extension. Traditionally, this is done with physical inspectors who inspect these assets via rope techniques, scaffolding, cherry pickers, or on foot. Moreover, humans are “limited” and never have the same coherence. Many items to be inspected are […]
