Inspections across industries serve one main purpose: to identify defects in critical assets. While traditional manual inspections allow inspectors to visually locate issues as they stand before them, modern remote visual inspection tools like the Elios 2 introduce new challenges—especially when it comes to accurately pinpointing the location of a defect.
Unlike outdoor environments where GPS can guide the way, indoor inspections often lack reliable positioning systems. This makes it difficult to determine exactly where a defect was found during a drone-based inspection. Without precise localization, even the most detailed video footage may not be enough to guide repair efforts effectively.
Some defects are easy to spot and locate, but others require a combination of techniques. One inspector shared that he often uses barometric data, blueprints, maps, and reference points from the video feed to estimate a defect's location. Even with all this information, getting the exact spot right can still be a challenge.
DATA LOCALIZATION = BIG SAVINGS
Knowing the exact location of a defect can save time, money, and effort. Imagine entering an asset only to realize you’ve made the wrong cut or dug in the wrong place. This kind of mistake can lead to unnecessary delays, increased costs, and lost revenue.
Accurate data localization helps avoid these issues. It allows teams to plan repairs more efficiently, reduce the need for extra scaffolding, and minimize downtime. For companies, this translates into real cost savings and better project outcomes.
DATA LOCALIZATION ALSO MEANS HAPPY CUSTOMERS
Customers expect clear and precise reports after an inspection. If they don’t get a detailed breakdown of where each defect is located, they may feel unsatisfied or uncertain about the next steps.
Moreover, data localization improves communication among different teams involved in maintenance. Inspectors, engineers, scaffolders, and operators can all benefit from a shared understanding of the asset’s condition. A 3D map created from inspection data can help everyone visualize the problem and work together more effectively.
For example, scaffolders who aren’t familiar with the site can use the map to place structures precisely where needed. Operators can point to specific areas and direct repair crews directly to the issue. This clarity makes the whole process smoother and more efficient.
HOW INSPECTOR 3.0 SOLVES THE DATA LOCALIZATION PROBLEM
That’s why accurate data localization is so important—and why Flyability’s Inspector 3.0 is such a game-changer. This new software enables inspectors to create 3D maps of the inspected area, making it easier than ever to track and report on defects.
Inspector 3.0 is designed specifically for the Elios 2, helping inspectors turn raw video data into actionable insights. With its mapping feature, you can quickly generate a 3D model of the asset, showing exactly where defects were found.
Here’s how it works:
- Fly your inspection mission using the Elios 2, capturing high-quality video footage of the asset.
- Mark Points of Interest (POIs) during the flight using the POI button on your remote controller.
- After the flight, open Inspector 3.0 to create a 3D map of the asset, displaying the location of all marked defects.
These maps are not just visual aids—they’re powerful tools for decision-making. They help you communicate clearly with clients, streamline maintenance processes, and ensure that every repair is done in the right place, the first time.
And the best part? Inspector 3.0 can generate a 3D map in as little as 20 to 50 minutes. That means you can show your client the results of the inspection on the same day, without delays.
"Inspector 3.0 is what we've been waiting for," said Simon Kumm from InspecDrone. "Now we can show our customers exactly where the problem is—right here."
Whether you're working on a boiler, a tank, or any other complex structure, Inspector 3.0 brings precision and clarity to your inspections. Ready to take your data localization to the next level? Learn more about Inspector 3.0 today.
The Compabloc is a fully welded compact heat exchanger designed for the complete range of process and utility duties.
The Compabloc range of welded heat exchangers with a focus on perfor- mance, compactness, and serviceability.
The heart of the Compabloc is a stack of corrugated heat transfer plates in 316L stainless steel, or other material. The plates are laser welded and form a compact core. This core is then enclosed and supported by four corner girders, top and bottom heads and four side panels (see Sectional view of Compabloc). These components are bolted together and can be quickly taken apart for inspection, service and cleaning.The design can be configured in single or multi-pass arrangements in either co-current or counter-current operation, for liquid-to-liquid or two-phase duties.
The two media in the Compabloc heat exchanger flow in alternately welded channels between the corrugated plates.
Compabloc's flexible pass arrangements make it suitable for liquid-to-liquid duties with dissimilar flow rates, or two phase condensation or reboiler applications.
