The Importance of Data Localization in the Inspection Business—And How Inspector 3.0 Can Help

When using indoor drones such as the Elios 2 for remote visual inspections, the lack of GPS or other indoor positioning systems makes it difficult to accurately determine where a defect is located within an asset. Reviewing video footage from a boiler or tank, for example, can leave you wondering: "Where exactly did I see that crack?"

Some defects are easy to locate, but others require a combination of techniques, including barometric data, blueprints, maps, and reference points from the video itself. Even with all this information, getting the exact location can still be a challenge.

One inspector shared how he often uses multiple data sources to map out the location of a defect after an inspection with the Elios 2. Despite these efforts, achieving precise localization remains a complex task—especially in confined or hard-to-reach spaces.

DATA LOCALIZATION = COST SAVINGS

Knowing the exact location of a defect can save time, money, and effort during maintenance. If you have to cut into a structure or dig through soil to access a part of an asset, you don’t want to end up at the wrong spot. This kind of mistake can lead to delays, increased costs, and lost productivity.

Incorrect localization not only causes wasted labor but also extends downtime, which can cost companies significant revenue. Additionally, it can lead to unnecessary scaffolding expenses if workers are placed in the wrong locations.

With accurate data localization, companies can place scaffolding precisely where needed, reducing both time and cost. It also helps streamline the entire maintenance process by ensuring everyone involved knows exactly where the issue is.

DATA LOCALIZATION MEANS BETTER CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

Customers expect clear and detailed reports after an inspection. If they don’t receive specific information about where defects are located, they may feel dissatisfied or unsure about the value of the service.

Moreover, data localization improves communication across teams. Inspectors, maintenance crews, scaffolders, operators, and even executives can benefit from a visual representation of the asset and its issues.

For instance, a scaffolder who isn’t familiar with the plant layout can use a 3D map to determine where to set up support structures. An operator can point to a specific area on the map to direct repair crews. This level of clarity ensures that everyone is aligned and working efficiently.

HOW INSPECTOR 3.0 SOLVES THE DATA LOCALIZATION CHALLENGE

Data localization is essential for effective inspections, and now Flyability’s Inspector 3.0 offers a powerful solution. This software allows users to create a 3D map of the inspected asset right after completing a flight with the Elios 2.

Inspector 3.0 is designed specifically for the Elios 2 and simplifies the process of mapping defects. With just a few steps, users can turn raw video footage into a 3D model that clearly shows where problems are located.

Here’s how it works:

• Fly your inspection mission with the Elios 2, capturing visual data inside the asset.
• Mark Points of Interest (POIs) using the POI button on your remote controller as you spot defects.
• Use Inspector 3.0’s mapping feature to generate a 3D map showing the exact location of each POI.

The result is a clear, visual representation of the asset and its defects, making it easier to communicate findings and plan repairs. And the best part? You can create this map in as little as 20 to 50 minutes, allowing you to share results with clients on the same day.

"Inspector 3.0 is what we’ve been waiting for. It gives us localized data, which our customers really appreciate. Now I can show them exactly where the problem is," says Simon Kumm from InspecDrone.

With Inspector 3.0, you can transform your inspection data into actionable insights, improving efficiency, accuracy, and customer satisfaction. Ready to take your inspections to the next level? Learn more about Inspector 3.0 today.
