Careers SMARTGard® Inspection
Fully Digitalized CFB Boiler Drone Inspection
1
Early Deployment of SMARTGard® Inspection drone
The drone is deployed whilst the boiler is cooling down, without the need for scaffolding. This provides inspection data five days earlier, on average, allowing more time for maintenance planning and remedial works.
2
Live Streaming of Inspection Data
The drone creates an accurate 3D map of the environment, enabling scaffolding to be erected at a precise location to fix any issues. HD live streaming of crisp 4k images and videos facilitates collaborative decision-making with maintenance managers.
3-D mapping creates an accurate data set to conduct additional reviews and root cause analysis after the outage is complete, to minimize the risk of future damage or boiler failure.
