By conducting inspections using a drone, it is possible to carry out safe and quick checking at high places where scafoldings are necessary or at narrow places where people cannot enter, and at underwater structures where a diver is required. Furukawa Sangyo selects the most suitable drone for the target equipment and for the inspection required location based on the conventional experiences. Accumulating deliverables and data is useful for daily maintenance and conservation as well.
