Facility Inspection

During the daily inspection of pumping units, numerous points require meticulous attention. However, many inspection points are difficult to access and observe

Advanced facility inspection solutions using drones equipped with visible light and thermal cameras to effectively address inspection challenges by capturing multi-angle videos and photos, detecting issues such as overheating, oil leaks, loose belts, and bolts while bridging the gap in digital management systems.

Advantages

Multi-Angle Blind Spot Coverage

Close-range, multi-angle inspections effectively address the issue of blind spots and dead corners, enabling the identification of potential problems, solving the structure's complexity with many blind spots that makes it challenging for inspection teams to conduct thorough inspections.

Enhanced Personnel Safety

Drones can cover large areas, reducing the need for manual labor on foot and ensuring the safety of personnel and production, addressing oil fields that are often hazardous and vast, requiring frequent inspections with significant human resource allocation.

Digital Data Management

Inspection data can be easily stored and tracked over time, leading to improvements in asset management and preventive maintenance efforts, replacing traditional inspection methods that cannot be easily digitized, archived, or traced.

Regulatory Compliance Support

Drone data can be utilized to monitor and ensure operational compliance, as well as to generate supporting documentation and reports for compliance teams, addressing oil field operations subject to stringent local, state, and federal standards.

Applications

Equipment Condition Monitoring

Detect overheating, oil leaks, loose belts, and bolts through comprehensive visual and thermal imaging of facility equipment.

Gas Leak Detection

Identify gas leaks and potential safety hazards using specialized sensors and thermal imaging for real-time monitoring.

Compliance Documentation

Generate comprehensive inspection reports and documentation to meet regulatory requirements and compliance standards.

Solution Features
