Increase Safety
Among the many use cases we identified for robotics at TOTAL, confined spaces inspection is probably the one that gave us the best satisfaction. This has been possible thanks to the Flyability Elios, which the TOTAL inspectors pilot day after day. Whether for planned or unplanned shutdowns, this is a fast decision-making tool which enhances our safety and the availability of our assets.

Decrease Downtime
I used one of the drones of Flyability to inspect a WHRU in an oil plant and we benefit a lot from the results. It took short time to prepare the inspection and few hours to perform it. If we had to build scaffolding inside the WHRU it would be much more impacting for our customer.

Save Costs
We have developed an internal service of 6 pilots, flying Elios up to 100 times per month at our customer's refineries and petrochemical facilities. Providing our services with the Elios to our clients has been a win-win: It has helped our customers in reducing the cost of their inspections and their downtime, and us in supplying unmanned inspection services for new and existing relationships.
