June 7, 2022—ABDULLA FOUAD is now an authorized reseller of Flyability’s Elios, Elios 2, and Elios 3 the world’s first collision-tolerant drones.
One of the leading providers of RVI (remote visual inspection) tools in Saudi Arabia has added Flyability’s indoor drones to the list of professional inspection tools that it offers.
“We are happy to partner with Flyability to bring in and provide exceptional inspection using the latest drone technology in the Kingdom’s Oil and Gas Industry," says Shilju Shaji, Product Manager at ABDULLA FOUAD. "This is a game changer in the field of inspections, especially with the 4K camera providing high quality visuals for the inspectors to view confined spaces."
The Elios 3 indoor drone is safely contained within a carbon fiber cage, which gives inspectors the freedom to operate it in a variety of environments, as well as complete darkness using its LED lighting, thermal imagery, and live 3D models created with LiDAR data. The cage helps make the drone collision tolerant, so that it can collide and continue flying. This feature combined with the high quality of the drone’s visual and LiDAR data allows inspectors to conduct inspections remotely in tight, confined spaces that might otherwise pose a safety risk for human entry.
In industries that require regular inspections, such as Oil & Gas, Power Generation, and Chemicals, the Elios 2 has already become a reliable solution for internal inspections. Using the Elios 2, inspectors have helped realize significant savings and decreased downtimes for asset owners, reducing inspection costs by as much as 90%. Inspectors have also significantly improved safety with the Elios 2 by using it to reduce or even eliminate the need for inspectors to enter confined spaces in order to collect visual data.
The Elios 3 promises to help inspectors even further by providing them with LiDAR data that can be used to create live 3D maps while the drone is in flight, and survey-grade 3D maps in post-processing with software from Flability's partner GeoSLAM.
Saudi Arabia is the home of world-class Companies like Saudi Aramco and SABIC. There are many plants under both companies where the Elios 2 and the Elios 3 will be able to make a significant impact on inspections performed to support their operations.
