Industrial Inspection Drones

Complete MMC & GDU solutions for safer, faster, and smarter inspections across utilities,

oil & gas, infrastructure, transportation, and manufacturing.

Overview

Overview

MMC and GDU inspection platforms capture high-resolution imagesradiometric thermal data, and 3D models—critical for refineries, transmission corridors, bridges, railyards, and industrial rooftops. End-to-end workflows reduce exposure, compress inspection windows, and create audit-ready records without scaffolding or shutdowns.

Outcome: improved safety, lower costs, and a predictable cadence for inspection, planning, and maintenance.

9 Ways Drones Benefit Industrial Inspection

Safer Operations

Keep personnel away from flare stacks, live substations, and high towers.

Lower Costs

Reduce scaffolding, shutdowns, and labor-intensive climbs.

Faster Turnaround

Cover large areas quickly; compress inspection windows.

High Accuracy

RTK mapping, thermal, and LiDAR reveal issues earlier.

Deep Analytics

Trend analysis, defect scoring, and root-cause insights.

Real-Time Monitoring

Secure streaming and event markers for rapid decisions.

Reduced Downtime

Rapid capture minimizes outages and accelerates planning.

Predictive Maintenance

Time-series comparisons to plan repairs before failure.

Digital Records

Audit-ready, time-stamped visual/thermal/3D reports.

Industrial Inspection Drones FAQ

Which MMC or GDU bundle should I start with?

Begin with a multirotor inspection kit (MMC X-series / GDU S-series) for close visual/thermal tasks. For long corridors or heavier payloads, move to the heavy-lift MMC Skylle Ⅱ and add LiDAR.

Does PWG01 support low-light operations?

Yes. The 1/0.98" sensor captures more light for cleaner results at dusk or indoors. Use manual exposure and D-log profiles where available.

Can I run automated, repeatable routes?

Yes. Plan waypoints, set standoff distances, and save mission templates for time-series comparisons—all with RTK/PPK precision.

What wind and weather limits should I consider?

Follow your aircraft limits (e.g., Skylle Ⅱ IP54 with strong wind resistance). Payload IP ratings vary—PQL02 is IP44. Avoid precipitation unless both airframe and payload are rated.

How do I manage and secure inspection data?

Record to microSD (up to 512GB on PQL02) and offload to secure storage. Use checksum verification, encryption at rest, and role-based access control in your DAM/CMMS.

Is FAA Part 107 required in the U.S.?

Yes. Commercial UAS operations require a Part 107 certificate and airspace authorization/waivers as needed.

Do you provide onboarding and training?

Yes. We offer flight safety, payload configuration, data processing, and reporting templates tailored to your industry.

Who owns the data we capture?

You retain full ownership unless otherwise specified in your service agreement.
