Drones for industry: how does Multinnov meet the need?

Jan 9, 2025

The rise of drones in industry

Drones have experienced a spectacular boom 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 areas such as inspection, maintenance and monitoring. 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 been able to take advantage of this technological revolution to meet the specific needs of industries, with solutions adapted to each type of environment. 

 

The different industrial sectors concerned: nuclear, maritime, railway, etc.

 

 

Drones are now used in a wide variety of industrial sectors, where they bring significant benefits. Here are some of the main areas concerned:

  • Nuclear : The nuclear industry requires precise and regular inspections of its facilities, often in high-risk areas. Drones, particularly those designed to operate in confined environments, make it possible to carry out checks without endangering the lives of 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 infrastructure is a complex and risky task. Underwater drones, such as the floating solutions offered by Multinnov , offer an effective solution for analyzing ship hulls, docks or even underwater installations, reducing the costs and risks associated with human intervention.
  • Railway : The railway sector requires constant monitoring of its infrastructure, which is often difficult to access. Drones, particularly the Stereo2 , are used to inspect bridges, tunnels, and railway tracks. Thanks to their ability to move in confined or high-altitude environments, these drones save time while improving the safety of interventions.

 

The benefits of drones for industry

 

 

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

  • Improved safety : By enabling inspections in difficult-to-access or dangerous environments, drones reduce risks for workers. Aerial and ground robots thus make it possible to do without human intervention in risky areas, such as heights, tunnels or industrial risk sites.
  • Cost reduction : Using drones can reduce 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 the efficiency of missions.
  • Speed and efficiency : Drones are able to collect data quickly and accurately. This allows for detailed reports in real time, making it easier to make quick decisions to intervene proactively.
  • Inspection accuracy : 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, providing greater accuracy 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 the Stereo2 , perfectly illustrate how the company responds to the specific challenges of the industry.

Rolling and floating solution: The Roview2

 

 

The Roview2 is an innovative solution that combines mobility and flexibility for inspections in confined environments. This rolling and floating robot is ideal for inspections in railway 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, allowing for fast and efficient interventions, while ensuring the safety of ground teams.

Flying solution: The Stereo2

 

The Stereo2 is a latest-generation aerial inspection drone. Designed to operate in complex environments and at high altitudes, it offers ultra-precise monitoring and inspection capabilities, particularly in railway or industrial environments. Its stereoscopic camera technology provides high-resolution 3D images, essential for detailed inspections of infrastructure. Stereo2 thus offers an ideal preventive maintenance solution for industries where safety and reliability are essential.

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