Drones for industry: how does Multinnov meet the need?

The rise of drones in industry

Drones have experienced spectacular growth in recent years, establishing themselves as essential tools in many industrial sectors. Thanks to their flexibility, precision and ability to operate in complex environments, drones are revolutionizing fields such as inspection, maintenance and surveillance. From critical infrastructures to confined environments, drones offer an innovative response to modern industrial challenges. Multinnov, a major player in the field of inspection robots, has taken advantage of this technological revolution to meet the specific needs of industry, with solutions adapted to each type of environment.

The various industrial sectors concerned: nuclear, maritime, rail...

Drones are used today in a wide variety of industrial sectors, where they bring significant benefits. Here are just a few of the main sectors concerned:

- Nuclear: The nuclear industry requires precise and regular inspections of its facilities, often in high‑risk areas. UAVs, particularly those designed to operate in confined environments, enable inspections to be carried out without endangering operators. For example, Multinnov's Roview2 is capable of inspecting hard‑to‑reach areas in nuclear power plants, enabling anomalies to be detected in real time.

- Maritime: On offshore platforms or in ports, inspecting underwater infrastructures is a complex and risky task. Underwater drones, like the floating solutions proposed by Multinnov, offer an effective solution for analyzing ship hulls, docks or underwater installations, while reducing the costs and risks associated with human intervention.

- Railways: The railway sector requires constant surveillance of its infrastructure, which is often difficult to access. Drones, in particular the Stereo2, are used to inspect bridges, tunnels and railroads. Thanks to their ability to move around in confined environments or at height, these drones save time while improving the safety of interventions.

These sectors show just how effective drones can be for inspections in extreme environments, where safety and precision are paramount.

The benefits of drones for industry

Drones bring many benefits to industry. Among the main ones:

- Improved safety: By enabling inspections to be carried out in difficult‑to‑access or hazardous environments, drones reduce the risks to workers. Aerial and ground robots make it possible to dispense with human intervention in risky areas, such as heights, tunnels or industrial risk sites.

- Cost reduction: the use of drones reduces the costs associated with traditional inspections, which often require costly and time‑consuming human intervention. For example, drones reduce the cost of renting heavy equipment and the risk of accidents, while improving mission efficiency.

- Speed and efficiency : drones can collect data quickly and accurately. This provides detailed reports in real time, facilitating rapid decision‑making for proactive intervention.

- Accurate inspections: Thanks to the cutting‑edge technology used in drones like the Stereo2 or Roview2, inspections are more detailed and reliable. Drones equipped with high‑resolution cameras or advanced sensors can detect anomalies invisible to the naked eye, offering greater precision in inspection reports.

Multinnov: expertise at the service of industry

Multinnov stands out for its expertise in developing robotic solutions tailored to the needs of industrial sectors. Its innovative drones, the Roview2 and Stereo2, are perfect examples of how the company meets the specific challenges of industry.

Rolling and floating solution: The Roview2

The Roview2 is an innovative solution combining mobility and flexibility for inspections in confined environments. This rolling and floating robot is ideal for inspections in rail or nuclear environments, where access is often limited and risky. Equipped with high‑definition cameras and wireless sensors, the Roview2 offers real‑time data transmission, enabling fast, efficient interventions, while guaranteeing the safety of ground teams.

Flying solution : The Stereo2

The Stereo2 is a new‑generation aerial inspection drone. Designed to operate in complex environments and at high altitudes, it offers ultra‑precise surveillance and inspection capabilities, particularly in rail and industrial environments. Its stereoscopic camera technology delivers high‑resolution 3D images, essential for detailed infrastructure inspections. Stereo2 thus offers an ideal preventive maintenance solution for industries where safety and reliability are paramount.

Drones play an increasingly important role in modern industry, offering innovative solutions for sectors as diverse as nuclear, maritime and rail. Multinnov, with its solutions such as the Roview2 and Stereo2, meets the specific needs of these industries by offering robust, high‑performance inspection robots. Thanks to their ability to operate in confined and difficult‑to‑access environments, these drones guarantee efficient, safe and precise maintenance, while reducing costs and risks. Innovation at the service of industry is now within reach, with Multinnov as a key technological partner.
