UAVs are used for collecting data sets that can be used to optimise the entire inspection and maintenance process by helping to predict failures. In order to conduct human-led inspections, shutdowns are necessary to minimise risks and prevent physical harm from coming to inspectors. While using UAVs plants don’t have to be shut down for inspections. This is a significant cost benefit as shutdowns can costs companies millions of dollars in lost revenue per day. UAVs can collect an abundance of data through the use of, RGB camera’s, thermal cameras and various sensors.
