Drones are revolutionizing silo and grain elevator inspections by providing a safer, faster, and more cost-effective solution compared to traditional methods. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors, drones can capture detailed images and videos of hard-to-reach areas, including roofs, walls, and structural components.
Problems
- Thorough inspections require rental of expensive personnel lifts or scaffolding.
- Multiple structures require setup and teardown of access equipment multiple times, exponentially increasing the cost of traditional inspections.
Solutions
- Identify issues such as cracks, corrosion, or blockages without requiring manual climbing or scaffolding, reducing risks to personnel.
- Efficiently survey multiple silos in a single flight, minimizing downtime and ensuring regular, thorough maintenance to protect grain quality and structural integrity.
