Flyability Unveils Elios 3 UT Payload
Lausanne, Switzerland – In a closely guarded secret unveiled this morning at Flyability’s user conference, the pioneering drone technology company introduced its latest product set to revolutionize indoor inspections in challenging environments. The announcement introduced the Elios 3 UT Payload, developed in collaboration with Cygnus Instruments. This cutting-edge addition promises to transform the landscape of industrial inspections, offering unparalleled efficiency, safety, and precision.
Designed as a collaborative effort between Flyability and Cygnus Instruments, the UT Payload transforms the Elios 3 drone into a flying UTM (Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement) gauge. This integration empowers industry professionals to conduct thickness measurements with remarkable accuracy, augmented by high-resolution A-scans, even in the most demanding spaces.
One of the most significant advantages of the Elios 3 UT Payload is its ability to enhance safety by eliminating the need for risky work-at-height and confined space entry. With this innovation, inspections can now be performed safely from a distance, mitigating human risks associated with traditional methods.
The Elios 3 UT Payload is a comprehensive solution, combining a visual inspection payload, an embedded LiDAR sensor, and a state-of-the-art UT probe into a single device. This all-in-one approach ensures versatility, covering a wide range of inspection requirements with unmatched efficiency.
By leveraging the Elios 3 UT Payload, industry professionals can achieve remarkable cost savings of up to 90%. The elimination of unnecessary scaffolding or risky rope access translates into significant reductions in both time and expenditure. With teams as small as two people, inspections can be conducted swiftly, with UT measurements captured up to ten times faster than conventional methods.
Flyability offers flexible options for acquiring the Elios 3 UT Payload, either as a package with the Elios 3 drone or as a standalone payload for existing users. Furthermore, to streamline inspection workflows, Flyability introduces the Asset Management Extension software, which consolidates data from multiple flights into a cohesive asset view, enhancing processing and reporting capabilities.
To ensure optimal performance in challenging conditions, the Elios 3 UT Payload includes optional probes and a cleaning module. These additions guarantee accurate readings even in the most demanding environments, further enhancing the reliability of inspection results.
Flyability remains committed to providing comprehensive support to its users. To this end, the company offers both online and in-person training programs covering flight best practices, A-scan processing, and refinement, ensuring that users can maximize the potential of their Elios 3 UT Payload.
The unveiling of the Elios 3 UT Payload marks a significant milestone in the realm of indoor inspections. This latest offering from Flyability promises to redefine industry standards and set new benchmarks for inspection drones.
