November 30, 2021—Labquip (Ireland) Limited is now an authorized reseller of Flyability’s Elios and Elios 2, the world’s first collision-tolerant drones.
One of the leading providers of RVI (remote visual inspection) tools in Ireland has added Flyability’s indoor drones to the list of professional inspection tools that it offers.
“We are delighted to add a specialist indoor drone to our product range," says Conor Cusack, Operations Manager at Labquip. "This will really enable our customers to further expand their remote visual inspections. It will also dramatically reduce the need for human involvement and personal entry—particularly for storage tanks and large mixing vessels. Aidan Wright will lead the development and demonstrations of the Elios 2 technology here at Labquip.”
The Elios 2 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 and thermal imagery. 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 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 is quickly becoming the go-to 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.
