Inspection Drone for Confined Space Market Insights
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Building scaffolding to conduct manual inspection is an expensive process; also, manual inspections often fail tofind the exact problem that requires fixing. By using dronesfor inspection, companies can reduce the actual maintenance costs by up to 80–90%. Also, drones are equipped with sensors to perform tasks other than just visual inspections. For instance, an agricultural drone for an indoor farming application is equipped with multispectral sensors, allowing farmers record crop images in distinct spectral bands. Further, the installation ofa thermal camera in drones for HVAC inspections helps identify heat leak in a building.
Drone Type-Based MarketInsights
Inspection isa key application ofdrones; however, the selection of drone differs from industry to industry, depending on the complexity of the task. Based on drone type, the inspection drone for confined space market is furtherbifurcatedinto quadrotor drone and multirotor drones. Quadrotor drones, commonly known as quadcopters, are capable of flying in any direction;also, they smoothly hover in any specific place. Although the control system between quadrotor and helicopters considerably varydue to the flying dynamics, quadrotor can perform vertical take-off and landings similar to helicopters. A quadrotor is equipped with four rotor arms and are available in various sizes; itcan also carry smaller payloads, e.g., a camera. They are widely used in inspection operations across energy installations fields such as oil refineries, construction sites, and mining.
Application-BasedMarket Insights
Inspection tasks in confined spaces in diverse industries, such as oil & gas, construction, and marine, can be difficult,time-consuming, dangerous, and expensive. Further, confined spaces can be riskyfor humans. Also, limited accessibility and visibility may restrict the inspector’s ability to perform an effective and comprehensive inspection of confined spaces. Companies across the world are leveraging robots, including drones, to safely inspect various confined spaces in their facilities, including tanks, boilers, pipes, tunnels, and chimneys. Drones help reducing time and cost of equipment and labor, along with lowering risk factors to human workers.
The players in the inspection drone for confined spacemarket focus on strategies such as market initiatives, acquisitions, and product launchesto maintain their positions in the market. A few developmentsby key players are listed below:
