Equipment inspection for power, petrochemicals and new energy is not just an operation; it is the lifeblood of industrial safety. But let's be honest, manual inspection is a bother. They are slow, risky, time-consuming and money-consuming. That is why we built Sky Ranger. With the help of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, a new kind of high-precision inspection technology that can cover all areas above, below and around structures has now been developed. The three main uses of SLAM 3D navigation are AI models that integrate all kinds of data and the NVIDIA Jetson edge device. It will find a fault in the field 98 per cent of the time. It is 8 times faster than a crew of people and saves 60% in costs. To be honest, the ROI is good. It will help the company go digital and will also be in line with China's "dual-carbon" goals.
