We hear people all the time saying “drones are the future,” but are commercial drones really the future of infrastructure inspection? Drones are new and foreign to some. Realistically, if the systems you have in place aren’t broken, why replace them, right? Wrong. If we all thought this way, we’d still be riding horses and using the telegraph. The question we must be asking is, what is the safest, most efficient option available?
Traditional infrastructure inspection systems are outdated
One of the best examples of an outdated system is traditional infrastructure inspection. As some companies send out a fleet of workers to inspect structures costing thousands of dollars a day in costs, a proficient company will look for safer & more efficient alternatives.
For roughly the price of one traditional inspection, a one-time investment in a drone such as the SwitchBlade-Elite is one-way progressive companies are maintaining their advantage. The SwitchBlade-Elite can reach speeds over 60 mph. That means that one single inspector can easily inspect miles of power line in no time. Additionally, with 40 minutes of endurance, one has ample time for a thorough investigation of various sites with ease. So maybe the conventional system isn’t broken. But realistically, continuous improvement is a laudable goal.
Vision Aerial systems are designed and built for commercial infrastructure inspection. Both the SwitchBlade-Elite and the Vector models are capable of high speeds, precision GPS accuracy, have large payload capacities, and are encased in a sleek, collapsible design that is easily transported.
