SCHIEDAM, the Netherlands – Huisman has launched a drone inspection service for cranes, drilling and pipelay equipment.
Its drone inspections are based on artificial intelligence (AI) and high-resolution camera technology.
By performing a remote visual inspection with a qualified drone pilot, there is no need for scaffolding, thus removing the requirement for people to access hazardous locations. Not only does this process improve safety, but it also offers a faster approach to inspection, enabling repair and maintenance work to start sooner, the company said.
Huisman and H3 Zoom developed the specialized ‘Equipment Inspector’ AI software to analyze collected data and create a detailed report that indicates whether the inspected assets need to be repaired urgently or in the future.
Since April 2021, the company has been certified by Lloyd’s Register for the use of a remote inspection technology system.
