Problem
Traditional non-destructive testing (NDT) of industrial assets often requires extensive scaffolding, rope access, or confined space entry, leading to increased costs, safety risks, and downtime. These methods can be slow, labor-intensive, and may not provide comprehensive coverage, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
Solution
Voliro offers aerial robotic platforms equipped with tiltable rotors for safe and efficient NDT inspections. The drones can apply up to 30 N of stable force and several Nm of torque to structures, enabling stable contact and interaction. The platform's 360° aerial mobility allows for omnidirectional movement and interaction in any direction, even in GPS-denied environments. This technology enables asset owners and inspection service providers to conduct thorough inspections faster, safer, and more cost-effectively, minimizing downtime and optimizing maintenance schedules.
Target Audience
The primary customers are asset owners in industries such as energy, oil and gas, and infrastructure, as well as inspection service providers looking to enhance their service offerings with drone-based NDT solutions.
