Energy inspections specifically Solar, Wind Turbines, Oil & Gas, Power Lines, Nuclear Power are some of the end-case use of drones in the Energy sector.

“Good work DJI and FLIR, this is a real industry-leading piece of equipment and will certainly make a difference in the industrial UAV inspection industry.”

-Lewis Pritchard, CEO of Team UAV

Aerial platforms are rapidly becoming vital tools for businesses looking to more efficiently collect information crucial to their operations. As the first integrated aerial camera with an optical zoom and digital zoom, thermal camera, and range finder the Matrice 350 and the H20T, offers unparalleled image data capture.

DJI’s Matrice 350 series when combined with either its Zenmuse P1, Zenmuse L2 or H20T cameras provide solar energy plants the ability to inspect an array of panels at speed. Instead of sending inspectors out into the plant to check individual panels on foot, a flight overhead recorded using 4K video provides the image clarity needed to carry out initial inspections. Inspectors then are only required to investigate problem areas, significantly increasing their efficiency and productivity.

Safety and efficiency are paramount to modern energy refining facilities and inspections are mission critical to maintaining operations. Traditional inspection methods have always been challenging as facilities can cover large areas with complex structural layouts.

UAVs allow for even the largest facilities to be inspected quickly from the air.
