Inspections in any industry have a clear goal: to identify and locate defects within an asset. While manual inspections allow inspectors to directly observe and note the exact location of a problem, modern remote visual inspection tools like the Elios 2 bring new challenges when it comes to accurately pinpointing where a defect is located.
Unlike traditional methods where an inspector can stand right in front of a defect, using drones or robotic systems indoors means there's no GPS to guide them. This makes it difficult to determine the precise location of a defect after reviewing video footage. How do you know exactly where that crack or corrosion is located inside a boiler, tank, or complex structure?
Some locations are easy to spot, but others require a combination of techniques to get accurate results. For instance, one inspector shared that he often relies on barometric data, blueprints, reference points from the video feed, and even his own experience to estimate where a defect might be. Despite all these efforts, getting the exact location can still be tricky without proper tools.
DATA LOCALIZATION = COST SAVINGS
Accurate data localization isn’t just about precision—it’s about saving time, money, and effort. If you have to cut into an asset or dig through soil to reach a defect, getting the location wrong can lead to unnecessary delays and costly rework.
Incorrect localization can also extend downtime, which can result in significant revenue loss for companies. On the other hand, knowing exactly where a defect is located allows for more efficient planning, reducing the need for extra scaffolding or labor. It ensures that every action taken is targeted and effective.
DATA LOCALIZATION MEANS BETTER CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS
Customers expect clarity after an inspection. They want detailed reports showing exactly where each defect is located. Without this information, they may feel unsatisfied or uncertain about the value of the service provided.
Data localization also helps different teams work together more effectively. From inspectors and maintenance workers to scaffolders and operators, everyone benefits from a clear understanding of where the issue is. A 3D map created through localized data can make communication easier, faster, and more accurate.
For example, scaffolders who are unfamiliar with a site can use a 3D map to place their equipment precisely. Operators can point to a specific area in the map to direct repair crews. This level of clarity leads to better outcomes and higher customer satisfaction.
HOW INSPECTOR 3.0 SOLVES THE DATA LOCALIZATION PROBLEM
This is where Inspector 3.0 comes in. Designed specifically for users of the Elios 2, this new software enables real-time data localization on a 3D map. After completing an inspection flight, you can quickly generate a detailed map that shows exactly where defects are located within the asset.
Inspector 3.0 turns your visual data into a sparse 3D model, making it easy to visualize and share with stakeholders. Here’s how it works:
- Fly your inspection mission with the Elios 2, capturing high-quality video footage.
- Use the POI (Point of Interest) button on your remote controller to mark defects as you fly.
- After the mission, open Inspector 3.0 and create a 3D map that highlights all your marked points.
The process is fast—within 20 to 50 minutes, you can have a 3D map ready to show your client. This means you can provide immediate feedback and demonstrate exactly where the problem is, without waiting for days.
"Inspector 3.0 is what we’ve been missing—localized data," said one user. "Now I can show my customers exactly where the issue is."
If you're looking to improve the accuracy and efficiency of your indoor inspections, Inspector 3.0 is a game-changer. It not only enhances your workflow but also strengthens customer trust and satisfaction. Learn more about how it can transform your inspection process today.
