Industrial inspections have evolved considerably thanks to technological advances, notably with the advent of specialized drones. These enable access to confined or hazardous environments without jeopardizing the safety of operators. Among these innovations, the Stereo2developed by Multinnovstands out as a high-performance, versatile solution for inspection in confined environments.
This article explores the features of Stereo2 and its applications in various industrial sectors.
Introducing Stereo2: an innovative drone for industrial inspection
The Stereo2 is an inspection drone designed specifically to operate in confined and complex spaces. Its carbon fiber cage, combined with a compact design (less than 40 cm in diameter), enables it to navigate with precision in confined environments such as tanks, vats, pipelines or industrial chimneys.
Advanced technology and robustness
One of the special features of Stereo2 is its advanced navigation system, enabling it to operate without GPS or external signal. This feature is essential for inspections in closed environments, where signals are often non-existent.
The drone is equipped with a high-definition 4K camera, guaranteeing precise, detailed visual inspection. The camera is accompanied by adjustable LED panels, which ensure optimum illumination even in dark or dusty environments. These elements help to identify any anomalies, such as cracks or traces of corrosion, thus facilitating preventive maintenance.
Thanks to its advanced stabilization system, the Stereo2 can capture sharp images even in difficult conditions. Its protective cage allows it to bounce off walls without damaging its components, guaranteeing long life and optimum reliability.
Stereo2 application sectors
The Stereo2 is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of industries, where inspections in confined environments are essential for infrastructure maintenance and safety. Here are just a few of the drone's main sectors of application.
Petrochemical and energy industry
Petrochemical plants and power stations require frequent inspections to ensure the safety of their installations. The Stereo2 is used to inspect :
- Storage tanks and vats, to detect leaks or signs of corrosion.
- Industrial chimneys, where it can navigate in low-visibility conditions.
- Pipelines, by carrying out inspections without the need for dismantling or human intervention.
By replacing traditional methods, which often require technicians to work at height or in dangerous environments, the drone significantly reduces human risk while delivering faster, more accurate results.
Marine sector
In the marine industry, the Stereo2 is particularly useful for inspecting ship holds, tanks and internal compartments. These spaces require regular monitoring to identify any leaks, corrosion or structural damage.
Using a drone allows :
- Reduced inspection costs, with no need for scaffolding or specialized maintenance teams.
- This saves time, since analyses can be carried out quickly and without immobilizing the vessel for long periods.
Cement and mining industries
Industrial infrastructures such as cement silos or mining tunnels require regular inspections to prevent accidents and ensure that installations are operating properly.
The Stereo2 is particularly well-suited to these environments thanks to :
- Resistant to dusty environments, thanks to its protected camera and powerful LED lighting.
- Its ability to operate in total darkness, without requiring structural modifications to existing infrastructures.
Inspection of industrial and nuclear infrastructures
Industrial infrastructures, including nuclear power plants, require frequent checks to identify any malfunctions. Thanks to the Stereo2it is possible to carry out precise, detailed inspections without interrupting plant operation.
Its advantages in this area are :
- Reduced radiation exposure, by enabling operators to carry out inspections remotely.
- Improved worker safety, by preventing entry into hazardous areas.
- Fast, accurate diagnosis, so you can intervene before a problem becomes critical.
Why is Stereo2 an innovative solution?
The Stereo2 stands out in the industrial drone market thanks to several key innovations.
A drone designed for extreme environments
Unlike traditional drones, which require optimal conditions to operate, the Stereo2 is designed to operate in complex, hostile environments. Its robust structure and autonomous navigation make it perfectly suited to confined, dark spaces.
Faster, more cost-effective inspection
Conventional inspections often require heavy equipment (scaffolding, cranes) and risky human intervention. By using a drone like the Stereo2industries can :
- Reduce costs, by limiting the use of specialized equipment and teams.
- Minimize production interruptions, as the drone can operate in parallel with industrial activities.
Cutting-edge technology for predictive maintenance
Thanks to its advanced imaging capabilities, the Stereo2 enables detailed analysis of inspected structures. Any anomalies detected can be exploited to anticipate maintenance requirements and avoid costly or dangerous breakdowns.
The Stereo2 from Multinnov embodies the future of confined space inspection. Thanks to its advanced technical features, versatility and ability to operate in complex environments, it represents an essential solution for industries seeking to improve efficiency and safety.
By integrating the Stereo2 into their maintenance processes, companies can reduce human risks, optimize costs and benefit from faster, more accurate analyses. This innovative drone is setting the standard for tomorrow's industrial inspections.
