Technical inspections using drones: technology at the service of industrial maintenance

Safety, precision, time savings, and cost reduction: drones have become an indispensable tool for preventive maintenance of industrial facilities. Drawing on its expertise in complex technical environments, XLG now offers a drone-based technical inspection service perfectly tailored to the needs of the industrial sector.

An innovative solution for safe inspection

In an environment where safety and resource optimization are key industrial priorities, the use of drones for technical inspections is emerging as a modern and effective alternative to traditional methods.

Thanks to this technology, XLG teams can perform inspections without the need for aerial work platforms or scaffolding, thereby reducing risks to personnel while ensuring accurate and rapid visual inspections, even in the most hard-to-reach areas (roofs, pipes, metal structures, etc.).

Practical applications in industrial settings

The drone inspection service offered by XLG covers a wide range of needs:

• Inspection of running surfaces (overhead cranes, steel structures): assessment of overall condition, detection of cracks or defective welds.
• Thermal monitoring of electrical cabinets: Using an onboard thermal camera, hot spots are quickly identified .
• Inspections in confined spaces: silos, tanks, vats… Drones provide access to areas that are difficult or dangerous for humans to enter. ‍
• Pipe inspection (gas, compressed air, etc.): detection of potential leaks. ‍
• Roof condition: inspection of waterproofing, gutters, and drainage.
