Manual yard inspections at container terminals, runways, and airport platforms are often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. These inspections typically require personnel to cover large areas to detect damage such as cracks, potholes, or surface wear. Detecting and measuring these defects manually demands significant effort and precision, increasing the risk of inaccuracies.

Traditional inspection methods come with several disadvantages:

Time-consuming: Manual inspections take a long time, leading to delays.
Operational downtime: Inspecting large surfaces often results in the temporary shutdown of other activities, reducing overall operational efficiency.
Reliance on human inspectors: The accuracy of inspections depends heavily on the expertise and focus of the inspectors, increasing the risk of human error.

These drawbacks can lead to:

Higher operational costs due to unproductive downtime.
Increased maintenance expenses from delaying necessary repairs or missing early warning signs.
Damage to equipment from repeatedly driving over damaged surfaces like cracks and potholes.

Drones and artificial intelligence (AI) accelerate and refine the detection of cracks, potholes, and track formation over large areas, making inspections more efficient and reliable. This results in significant time and cost savings through improved accuracy and speed.

SkyeBase offers an advanced inspection solution for:

Container terminals, runways, and airport platforms through semi-automated drone scans.
Orthophotos of large surfaces, captured with high-definition cameras, providing a true-to-scale representation of the terrain without requiring physical inspector presence.

AI-powered analysis: Automatic detection of cracks, potholes, and other damage, accelerating inspections and minimizing human errors.
Damage differentiation: AI can distinguish between different types of damage, offering a detailed overview.
Digital Elevation Model (DEM): Provides a 3D view of the terrain and measures pothole depth, helping accurately assess the severity of damage.

1. Fast and Consistent Damage Detection

Drones and AI detect cracks and potholes much faster than traditional methods.
Semi-automated drone scans capture large surfaces quickly, delivering standardized, consistent damage analysis.
AI eliminates variability and human errors, ensuring systematic defect identification.

2. Accurate Risk Assessment with Heatmaps

Critical areas are visualized through a heatmap, displaying damage in color gradations based on severity.
Immediate identification of high-risk zones allows for prioritized maintenance, preventing further damage or incidents.

3. Cost Optimization Through Efficient Planning

Automated inspections reduce labor costs and minimize downtime.
Data-driven analysis enables targeted, timely repairs, avoiding unnecessary expenses from delayed maintenance.

4. Minimal Operational Disruption

Inspections are conducted without interfering with daily operations.
Drones perform inspections without requiring site closures, ensuring seamless integration into business processes.
