Energy and Utilities: Power Generation Inspection Drones
Keep your plant in peak performance with aerial inspections.
See how a drone program can dramatically improve your safety and long-term maintenance objectives.
Spot issues faster with more frequent inspections and maintain reliable asset performance.
Monitor hydro, solar, fossil, and nuclear generation facilities and equipment without bucket lifts, ropes, scaffolding, or dangerous walk-abouts. Use Skydio to safely survey critical infrastructure anywhere.
You can navigate in highly energized, obstacle rich environments, so you can access every gauge, switch, joint, and perimeter easily. Our ground-breaking AI-driven autonomous technology enables you to generate fully comprehensive inspection datasets while keeping inspectors on the ground, or in the office out of harm’s way.
The top 4 U.S. utilities and 200+ others trust Skydio.
Scan solar farms for thermal hotspots.
Inspect boilers and smokestacks.
Patrol dry cask nuclear storage.
Check gauges on pressurized systems.
Monitor refuse ponds.
Keep your perimeter secure.
“ A 20-minute inspection by a battery-powered drone keeps our colleagues safe and saves time as they no longer need to rappel down the side of a structure.
No other drone utility inspection solution performs like Skydio.
See your equipment up close.
Read gauges, inspect boilers and smokestacks, scan dams and solar panels, and monitor waste facilities without putting your employees at risk. Get new perspectives that traditional inspection methods just don’t capture. Skydio flies within arms-length of your hardest to reach equipment with sub-millimeter precision, bringing you better data to make better decisions.
Get an aerial perspective without a heavy training burden.
Proficient in minutes and expert in just hours, your inspectors can get the views they need with far less risk. Skydio inspection drones capture the data for them. Our advanced AI-driven autonomous technology enables operators to avoid obstacles automatically. So anyone, no matter their skill level, can fly confidently in complex environments and you can quickly scale your drone power plant inspection program.
Collect high-quality imagery to generate 2D maps and 3D models.
Get the data you need to generate models that inform better maintenance decisions. Minimal pre-planning and operator oversight required. Your inspector can view drone inspection imagery while on-site and verify they have the complete data set needed to enable high-quality modeling with your choice of programs including ERSI, gNext, DroneDeploy, Bentley, Pix4D.
