Accessing the Unreachable, Safely and Efficiently
Robotics and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are revolutionizing industrial inspection by removing human inspectors from dangerous environments. Work that once required costly scaffolding, rope access teams, or complete facility shutdowns can now be done safely and in a fraction of the time.
BQCIS employs a fleet of advanced robotic solutions to gather high-definition visual data, thermal imagery, and ultrasonic readings from your most challenging assets. Our certified drone pilots and robotic operators can inspect towering wind turbines, the internal structure of massive cargo tanks, and complex, energized industrial plants.
This technology not only enhances safety but also delivers superior data. The high-resolution outputs are fed into our AI platforms for defect detection and integrated into Digital Twins, providing a comprehensive, data-rich model of your asset's condition.
Our Robotics & Drone Applications
Key Benefits of Robotic Inspections
Drastically Enhance Safety
Eliminate the need for working at height, rope access, scaffolding, and confined space entry, removing the biggest risks to personnel.
Reduce Downtime & Costs
Perform inspections while assets are still online, avoiding costly shutdowns. Save millions by eliminating the need for scaffolding.
Capture Higher Quality Data
Gather comprehensive, high-resolution visual and sensor data from consistent, repeatable flight/crawl paths for better analysis.
Increase Inspection Speed
Inspect an entire flare stack or wind turbine in hours, not days. Get faster, actionable insights to make critical decisions.
Success Story
Drone Inspection of LNG Tank Avoids $3M Shutdown
An LNG facility needed to conduct a mandatory 5-year internal inspection of a massive cryogenic storage tank, a process that traditionally requires a 4-week shutdown and complex scaffolding.
BQCIS deployed a specialized, collision-tolerant drone to perform the entire visual inspection of the tank's internal membrane, pumps, and ceiling, completing the work in just 2 days.
The client received a full HD video and 3D model of the tank's condition, met regulatory requirements, and saved an estimated $3M in deferred production and setup costs by avoiding the shutdown.
