Indoor drone: Stereo2, the solution for inspecting confined spaces!

Confined‑space inspections are a constant challenge for companies. Many sectors, such as power plants, the petrochemical industry or cement plants, need to regularly monitor installations that are sometimes difficult to access, to ensure their safety and avoid costly breakdowns. That's where Multinnov's Stereo2 drone comes in, offering an innovative, high‑performance solution to the specific constraints of indoor inspections.

The challenges of confined spaces

Inspections in confined spaces are often complex, not only because of limited access, but also because of difficult environmental conditions. Confined areas are often narrow, poorly ventilated, and sometimes require strict safety measures to prevent health risks to operators, such as the presence of toxic gases or lack of oxygen.

What's more, the cramped nature of these areas calls for a precise choice of equipment: the tool must be compact enough to navigate in confined spaces, while offering sufficient image quality to identify any structural anomalies. The Stereo2 is precisely designed to meet these challenges, offering a safe, high‑performance alternative to manual inspections, reducing exposure risks for operators and increasing analysis accuracy.

Stereo2 presentation

The Stereo2 is an indoor inspection drone developed by Multinnov to meet the specific needs of inspections in confined spaces. Equipped with a high‑precision 4K camera and state‑of‑the‑art sensors, it ensures optimum image quality even in difficult environments.

With its small size and agility, the Stereo2 is able to maneuver easily in confined areas. It is also equipped with advanced features such as real‑time obstacle detection and assisted navigation, guaranteeing stable shots and safe inspections. These features make it the ideal choice for safe, detailed inspections in confined industrial spaces.

Stereo2 benefits for inspections in confined spaces

Enhanced operator safety

One of Stereo2's key advantages is the enhanced safety it provides. By preventing operators from entering directly into potentially dangerous spaces, it reduces the risk of accidents or exposure to harmful substances. The Stereo2 can be remotely controlled, guaranteeing inspectors' safety while providing complete coverage of the environment.

Precision and image quality

With its 4K camera, the Stereo2 delivers highly accurate images, essential for detecting the slightest defects and anomalies in equipment. This is particularly important in industrial environments, where even the smallest details can have major repercussions in terms of safety and maintenance. The quality of the images captured by the Stereo2 enables maintenance teams to anticipate and quickly correct problems.

Agility and maneuverability in confined spaces

Thanks to its compact design and advanced stabilization system, the Stereo2 is extremely maneuverable. It is able to maneuver easily in tight, hard‑to‑reach areas, offering complete coverage even in the most confined spaces. Its in‑flight stability also ensures clear, sharp images, essential for efficient inspection.

Lower inspection costs

Stereo2 enables companies to reduce the costs associated with inspections. By avoiding the need for costly equipment such as scaffolding, and limiting direct human intervention, this drone helps optimize operations while maintaining a high level of accuracy. Safety costs are also reduced, thanks to lower risks for workers.

Stereo2 application examples

Power plants

In power plants, the Stereo2 is used to inspect components such as pipes, turbines and storage areas, which are often difficult to access due to their size or location. This indoor drone provides a detailed view of installations, making it easy to detect signs of degradation before they become problematic. The Stereo2's 4K camera is an invaluable asset for quickly spotting structural anomalies.

Petrochemical industry

In the petrochemical industry, regular monitoring of tanks and piping is crucial to prevent leaks and other serious incidents. The Stereo2 can explore these infrastructures without operators having to enter potentially dangerous environments. Thanks to its advanced sensors and imaging capabilities, it enables reliable, detailed inspection, essential for the safety and sustainability of installations.

Cement plants

Cement plants often include imposing installations such as silos and mills, which require regular inspections to ensure their integrity. Stereo2 can sneak into these structures and capture detailed images to detect cracks or other signs of wear

or other signs of wear before they become critical. Its maneuverability makes it the perfect tool for quality inspections in hard‑to‑reach spaces.

Stereo2, an essential solution for confined‑space inspections

Confined‑space inspections present unique challenges in terms of safety, precision and performance. Multinnov's Stereo2 is a complete solution to these needs, enabling companies to improve their operational safety and efficiency. By choosing the Stereo2, companies can reduce the risks to their staff while saving on inspection costs.

Thanks to its versatility and detection capabilities, the Stereo2 makes it easier for companies to comply with regulatory safety requirements. Indeed, regular inspection of infrastructures is often a legal requirement, and using Stereo2 ensures optimum compliance with industry standards. By investing in this cutting‑edge technology, companies acquire a powerful, reliable tool capable of preventing incidents and ensuring the longevity of their facilities.

In short, opting for Stereo2 enables companies to guarantee the safety, efficiency and sustainability of their operations with complete confidence.
