In an increasingly demanding industrial context,drone inspection is setting new standards. Inaccessible areas, dangerous conditions and the need for precision all combine to make drones a safe, fast and cost-effective alternative. Among the French leaders in this innovation, Multinnov stands out with robust solutions such as the Stereo2 drone and the Roview2designed for confined environments. The aim is to guarantee safety, efficiency and operational continuity in strategic sectors.
Industrial drone inspection: challenges and benefits
Enhanced safety
Traditional inspections often require scaffolding, rope access and partial shutdowns. Using a drone considerably reduces human risks, while complying with the most stringent safety standards. According to Multinnov, their solutions can reduce intervention costs by up to 70%.
Reactivity and cost reduction
Rapid drone deployment eliminates the need for time-consuming preparations. Remote piloting from a secure station means complex areas can be covered immediately, saving time and resources.
High-precision data for better decision-making
With a built-in 4K camera and powerful LED lighting, drones like the Stereo2 provide ultra-detailed visual diagnostics. The images and videos captured can be used in real time, and integrated into 3D tools such as Agisoft or Pix4D.
Technical challenges and specific needs of manufacturers
Access to difficult areas
Bridges, chimneys, ducts, tanks, silos or wind turbine towers: these structures associated with dust, humidity or heat represent hostile environments, unsuitable for human intervention. Drones need to access them without losing their stability.
Accuracy of captured data
Image quality is crucial for identifying cracks, corrosion or structural failure. It requires maximum resolution, GPS-free stabilization and adaptive brightness.
Robustness in extreme conditions
Dust, fumes, vibrations and the absence of a GPS signal call for robust, reliable and durable protection equipment.
Need for technological integration
The data generated must integrate easily with industrial software, maintenance systems or visual inspection platforms.
Multinnov: solutions for complex inspections
The Stereo2 drone
Designed for GPS-free operation in confined spaces, the Stereo2 offers major advantages:
- Dimensions compactes (< 40 cm de diamètre) pour passer dans des trappes ou ouvrants standards.
