Inspection & Security
Drones and quadrupeds for site inspection and patrol.
Questions to answer before choosing
Use these three questions to define the job before comparing products.
- Which hazards, defects or anomalies must the system detect?
- What terrain, weather and communications conditions will it face?
- How are alerts verified and connected to the existing incident workflow?
When not to automate yet
Consider whether improving the current workflow would meet your needs first.
- Repeatable routes and defects with observable evidence
- Hazardous or hard-to-reach areas where remote capture helps
- Operations with a defined alarm and work-order owner
- Sensor evidence against trained inspector findings
- Communications, weather and route recovery
- Data retention, privacy and regulatory requirements
- A replacement for human judgment on unusual findings
- A reason to ignore false alarms
- A successful pilot with movement but no action
Three ways to solve the same problem
Choose the lowest layer that reliably removes the bottleneck.
Process first
Standardize the workflow, remove unnecessary steps and measure the bottleneck before buying technology.
Software automation
Use workflows, RPA or AI agents when the work is digital and the inputs and exceptions can be defined.
Physical robot
Use an arm, AMR, drone or humanoid when movement in the real world is the constraint to remove.
