Increase savings for your internal inspections? Use Elios Drones.

How can you increase savings for your internal inspections?

By using ELIOS indoor drone to reduce downtimes, eliminate the need for scaffolding, and reduce the amount of labor required.

  • Minimizing loss of production during internal inspections by reducing turnaround times can have a huge impact on savings, since many industrial facilities lose hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for every day that they are one.
  • Eliminating scaffolding, cranes, and rope access can save you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per inspection by avoiding the cost of materials and the labor required to build and take down a temporary structure—not to mention the extra downtime these efforts require.
  • Reducing the labor needed for an inspection, both in terms of total hours spent and in terms of the number of people needed on the job site, can also have a big impact on savings for each inspection.

Let’s make these savings concrete.

  • Marine Inspection Services, Ltd. helped an oil tanker manager realize two million dollars in savings using Flyability’s Elios for a cargo tank inspection. The savings primarily came from avoiding the need for scaffolding—building and taking down the scaffolding would have cost $400,000, and the extra time that work required would have cost $1.6 million in downtime for the oil tanker.
  • Pampa Energia realized $320,000 in savings from a single inspection flight with an Elios drone. Here the savings also came from avoiding the need for scaffolding—the scaffolding would have cost $30,000 and the extended downtime to build and take it down would have cost $290,000.
  • AEROVISION Drone Support GmbH helped a paper mill realize 960,000 € in savings using the Elios for a tank inspection. All of these savings came from reducing the downtime of the tank, which lost 480,000€ for every day it was one.

These savings are not unique to a specific industry or type of inspection. Across industries, you can realize significant savings by using an indoor drone to reduce downtimes and eliminate the need for scaffolding in your internal inspections.
