entire cyclone inspection

Why invest in cement plant drone inspections?

 

Many inspections in cement plants require scaffolding and/or people to enter confined spaces. This is most common for silo, kiln, or cyclone inspections. The Elios 3 drone was built to avoid putting humans in these dangerous situations and provide an alternative way to inspect high and confined spaces. With cement plant inspection drones, you eliminate the need for scaffolding and get real-time data on the condition of an asset on demand. This empowers significant cuts to asset downtime (95% or more on a cyclone inspection) and inspection costs (spend only $4k for a whole silo inspection).

A cement plant drone doesn’t just provide a visual inspection. Take advantage of Flyability’s
 UT payload for accurate ultrasonic thickness measurements and Surveying Payload for precise 3D modeling, digital twinning, and volume calculations.
