Painpoints
The structure’s complexity, with many blind spots, makes it challenging for inspection teams to conduct thorough inspections.
Oil fields are often hazardous and vast, requiring frequent inspections. This results in a significant allocation of human resources to inspection tasks.
Traditional inspection methods cannot be easily digitized, archived, or traced.
Oil field operations are subject to stringent regulations and must comply with local, state, and federal standards.
Advantages
Close-range, multi-angle inspections effectively address the issue of blind spots and dead corners, enabling the identification of potential problems.
Drones can cover large areas, reducing the need for manual labor on foot and ensuring the safety of personnel and production.
Inspection data can be easily stored and tracked over time, leading to improvements in asset management and preventive maintenance efforts.
Drone data can be utilized to monitor and ensure operational compliance, as well as to generate supporting documentation and reports for compliance teams.

Payload and Software
DJI FlightHub 2
Drone and dock’s cloud management system.
Workflow
1 Mission Planning:
– Use DJI FlightHub 2 to plan inspection routes based on high-definition 3D models of the facility.
– Or import previously saved inspection flight routes to the DJI FlightHub 2 via the Pilot 2 app using the Live Mission Recording feature.
2 Data Collection:
– Using DJI FlightHub 2 select the preferred dock and scheduled inspection mission.
– The Matrice 4TD or Matrice 4D will execute the inspection tasks according to the plan, and upload the captured data to DJI FlightHub 2.
– If an abnormaly is detected during the flight, adjust the flight mission with manual controls and live-stream from the command center.
3 Data Analysis:
– Analyze the images to detect defects or required maintenance work by manually reviewing the data collected. Transfer the data to a third-party sofware to identify equipment defects using model detection.

Workflow
1 Mission Planning:
– Using the Live Mission Recording feature, perform a manual inspection flight to generate the baseline flight route for future inspections.
2 Data Collection:
– Import the generate flight mission into the DJI Pilot 2 app.
– Perform future inspection task with one click by selecting the previously imported flight mission and the drone will collect the same data as the baseline route.
3 Data Analysis:
– Analyze the images to detect defects or required maintenance work by manually reviewing the data collected. Transfer the data to a third-party sofware to identify equipment defects using model detection.
