Why choose the Elios 3 UT drone for ship inspections?

 

Built from the start to perform contact inspections, the Elios 3 is the ideal tool for close-up visual inspections and UT measurements even in confined and hard-to-reach areas. The UT payload developed in collaboration with Cygnus Instruments allows the drone to perform accurate ultrasonic thickness measurements on vessels and other equipment. Combined with advanced LiDAR technology, the drone can provide precise localization of all measurements and display them in the 3D model of the asset.

Elios 3 UT provides you with all the data needed for a CLASS inspection while leaving inspectors safely on the ground and saving you significant time and money

“The 3D laser scan produced by the Elios 3 allows for accurate localisation of data. This takes the entire survey process one step closer to true risk-based asset management and eventually automation. The ability to reliably localise data means you can repeat the survey precisely, measure any state of change between surveys, and then potentially model rates of degradation with machine learning to predict the best maintenance intervention point. This is the direction in which the marine and many other industries want to go.”
