Case study of drone utilization for plant equipment inspection | Safety confirmation in hazardous locations
Drones solve the problem of wanting to reduce dangerous work in places such as high altitudes or areas with hazardous substances! [Major plant maintenance company, Sankyu Inc.]
Sankyu, a major plant maintenance company engaged in engineering, logistics, and operational support. Inspection work to identify defective areas in plant equipment primarily relies on visual inspections by personnel. While scaffolding is set up and inspections are conducted using aerial work platforms, the time and cost required for these preparatory steps pose challenges. Moreover, these defective areas are often located in high, narrow, and dark places that are difficult for people to access, making the work challenging and dangerous. To address these issues, the company has introduced our inspection drone, 'IBIS.' It is used for inspections of production equipment in steel and petrochemical manufacturers, capturing images of facilities such as gas cleaning equipment and exhaust ducts. Furthermore, these images are utilized to generate orthomosaics. *We have compiled a case study on the use of inspection drones at Sankyu Corporation in a document.
