From drone data to asset management

Turn drone data into a consolidated view of your asset

To enable efficient asset management, inspection data needs to be aggregated and contextualised in a Digital Twin of your asset.

Asset Management bridges the gap between flight-based data capture and asset management. It simplifies Elios 3’s processing and reporting workflows by merging data from subsequent flights into a single view of your asset.

Data merging at capture time

Enrich the Digital Twin of your assets, one flight at a time.

Building on previous asset maps captured with Elios 3, the Asset Management extension automatically merges newly acquired data with existing results in real-time, offering a holistic view of your asset data in a single frame of reference.

Enhanced live map

Leave the site with a complete data set.

Visualise all data points from your flights in a high-resolution 3D map. Seamlessly navigate from one point to another by using the pan, rotate, and zoom functionalities.

Click on a point of interest to instantly access the corresponding video frame, allowing for precise correlation of inspection data with real-time visuals.

POI to Video to Frame synchronisation

When clicking on a POI, the user can instantly navigate to the corresponding image in the right video.

Aggregated point cloud visualisation

Colourise point clouds by flight and visualise them collectively in a consolidated map of your asset.

Unified video timeline

Easily navigate from one video to another while reviewing your data from a single video timeline.

Flight selector

Select the flights of interest and work only on relevant date while refining your analysis.

Inspection-based reporting

Streamline asset reporting

When your analysis is complete, inspection data from multiple flights can be compiled into a single report. In just a few clicks, an up-to-date and accurate view of the asset can be extracted and shared allowing for efficient maintenance planning and decision-making.

Q&A

What is a Confined Space Drone/UAV?

Most drones commonly used outdoors rely on GPS signals for localisation and stability. However, they face challenges when operating indoors or in confined spaces due to the lack of GPS availability in these environments. In contrast, specialized drones like the Elios 3 are designed for GPS-denied environments, offering reliable localisation and stability without the need for GPS. These drones are specifically engineered to navigate in challenging conditions, such as dark, dusty, and confined spaces.

What if the drone accidentally contacts walls or objects when flying inside the confined space?

The Elios 3 is built for contact during flight, featuring a lightweight carbon-fiber cage that provides impact protection when the drone comes into contact with walls or structures. Additionally, the drone is equipped with bi-directional rotors, enabling it to autonomously flip back into an upright position mid-flight, even if it is toppled.

What if connection between the Remote Control and Drone is lost mid-flight?

The Elios 3 is equipped with a 'Return-to-Signal' (RTS) safety feature that activates automatically if the connection with the remote control is lost. In RTS mode, the drone can autonomously retrace its flight path, returning to the takeoff point or continuing its flight until the connection with the remote control is restored.

How does the Elios 3 generate the 3D map and how is it useful for confined space flying?

The Elios 3 is equipped with an onboard LiDAR module that generates a real-time 3D map or model of the environment it is flying through. This enhances both the pilot’s situational and locational awareness while navigating the drone in confined spaces. The 3D map is also invaluable for identifying and localizing Points of Interest (POIs), such as defects detected during inspection flights. Additionally, the Elios 3 serves as a Scan-to-BIM tool, allowing the 3D model of the space to be used for creating BIM models and performing volumetric measurements.

Can the Elios 3 carry additional payloads?

The Elios 3 is designed with modular payload integration in mind. Currently, available optional payloads include the Radiation Detection Payload, UT Gauging Payload, Surveying Payload, and Flammable Gas Detector Payload. Additional payloads will be introduced progressively to expand its capabilities.
