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.

How can you improve safety for your internal inspections?

By using an indoor drone to eliminate or significantly reduce the need for inspectors to enter confined spaces to collect visual data.

  • Every year in the U.S. 200 people die and 15,000 people are seriously injured while working in confined spaces, according to OSHA.
  • Every year in the U.S. about 4,500 people are injured and 60 killed due to accidents related to working on scaffolding, according to OSHA.
  • From 2017 to 2019 there were 28 serious injuries as a result of people using rope access in industrial settings, four of which were fatal, according to the global Industrial Rope Access Trade Association, which is based in the U.K.

It’s worth noting that these confined space and scaffolding statistics are just for the U.S. If you apply these numbers globally, it’s likely that there are thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries every year associated with the work inspectors do in confined spaces. Death and injuries that could have been prevented using Elios inspection drone. Instead of entering confined and hazardous spaces themselves, inspectors can use an indoor drone to collect visual data, allowing them to remain safely outside.

Reduced Downtimes Using Elios 3 Drones

How can you reduce downtimes for your internal inspections?

By using an indoor drone to eliminate the need for scaffolding and to speed up your data collection.

Scaffolding can take several days to put up and take down, adding dozens of hours of downtime to the internal inspection process. Indoor drones eliminate the need for scaolding by taking the place of inspectors in collecting visual data.

Speeding up data collection can have a big impact on reducing the total turnaround time needed for an internal inspection. Indoor drones can get full coverage of an area much more quickly than an inspector can by walking or climbing in the same area, all while retaining a high standard of data quality.

Preparation for confined space entry can be time-consuming, requiring work permits, the presence of rescue teams on site, and other preparatory work that using an indoor drone can help avoid.

Indoor drones have the potential to reduce the total amount of time needed for an internal inspection by 90% — or more.

3D level scanners—also known as 3D solids scanners—provide continuous, non-contact level measurement using dust-penetrating technology for unsurpassed bin volume accuracy. Unlike single point devices, 3D scanning performs surface topography measurement and accounts for irregular surfaces when performing volume calculation. The sensor, previously referred to as a 5708, can detect cone up and cone down conditions or sidewall buildup. Bulk acoustic wave technology is proven to perform in powders and bulk solids contained in bins, tanks, silos, domes, warehouses, covered storage bunkers, and piles.

Dwyer SERIES TDFS2 THERMAL DISPERSION FLOW SWITCH

The Thermal Dispersion Flow Switch, Series TDFS2, is ideal for applications such as: liquid transfer systems, boiler flow proving, hot water heaters, and chillers. The TDFS2 provides long term reliability and life expectancy compared to mechanical flow switches as there are no moving parts to maintenance. This switch only needs to be installed 10 to 25% into the process, minimizing pressure drop. In addition, the 316 stainless steel construction is NEMA 4X rated for a wide variety of applications.
