April 20, 2021 – Flyability has introduced a groundbreaking new software called Inspector 3.0, designed to help inspectors quickly and accurately identify where defects are located during inspections.
Flyability, a global leader in remote internal inspection solutions, is thrilled to announce the release of Inspector 3.0, a powerful tool that enables inspectors to precisely locate defects found during inspections using the Elios 2 drone. After a successful beta test with over 150 users, the software is now available to all Elios 2 users worldwide.
"Inspector 3.0 marks a significant milestone in our mission to eliminate the need for humans to enter dangerous or confined spaces," said Patrick Thévoz, CEO of Flyability. "By providing exact location data for inspection findings, it not only improves inspector efficiency but also delivers more value to our clients through clearer and more actionable results."
In traditional manual inspections, inspectors can easily spot and locate issues because they're physically present at the site. However, with the growing use of Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) tools like the Elios 2, the challenge of accurately determining where a defect is located becomes more complex—especially without GPS or indoor positioning systems.
Previously, inspectors had to rely on a mix of barometric data, blueprints, maps, and visual references from video footage to estimate the location of a defect. This process was time-consuming and often imprecise.
Now, Inspector 3.0 changes the game. It allows users to generate a sparse point cloud that visually maps out exactly where defects are located within an asset, all based on the data collected by the Elios 2. Unlike other methods such as LiDAR or photogrammetry, this approach doesn’t require expensive equipment or lengthy processing times.
"Before, we might know there’s damage inside a structure, but not exactly where," said Simon Kumm, a Confined Space Inspections Expert at InspecDrone GmbH. "Inspector 3.0 solves that problem completely."
Accurate location data is essential in maintenance operations. Imagine digging up ten feet of soil only to realize you’re at the wrong spot. That's exactly what Inspector 3.0 helps prevent.
It also plays a crucial role in coordinating teams during inspections. Scaffolders need to know where to set up, and repair crews must understand the spatial layout of defects before starting work. With Inspector 3.0, this coordination becomes much smoother and more efficient.
"The localization feature in Inspector 3.0 was something our customers were asking for constantly," said Thibault Chatillon, Innovation and Development Manager at Setec. "Now, I can show them exactly where the issue is."
