Overcoming existing asset inspection challenges

How drone data can optimise your workflow improving productivity and profitability

Unprecedented access and insight to your entire asset portfolio

Challenge

Current condition of many assets continue to remain unknown or incomplete due to the major difficulties inspecting large, tall or difficult to access structures. The most common problem is a lack of quality data.

Solution

Trendspek provides you with comprehensive information on the condition of the entire asset. Assets can be delivered in ultra-high detail to provide unparalleled levels of knowledge, thus allowing you to make better decisions and form effective management strategies.

Convert drone images into useable and meaningful inspection data


Challenge

Inspections using drones typically deliver a large number of images. They can lack context to the asset position. They are cumbersome, difficult to sort and manage.

Solution

Single images are transformed into a highly useful, practical 3D models that are highly intuitive and simple to use, creating new efficient workflows that improve productivity.

Keep accurate baseline and historical asset records

Challenge

Many asset managers lack detailed and accurate historical records of asset condition. Not having full records makes it difficult to analyse trends, verify or track rectification works and can even leave you exposed to liability disputes.

Solution

With repeat data captures, time can be ‘re-wound’ to show the past condition of your asset in millimetre detail. This provides you robust, non-subjective data and a source of absolute truth.

Comprehensive and complete asset data


Challenge

Conventional reports often consist of handwritten drawings, images taken from low resolution cameras or from non-ideal vantage points. They don’t record the condition of the entire asset (only defects identified visually at the time) and thus are subject to human error which can allow defects to be missed.

Solution

The ability to view ultra-high detailed inspection models allows you to analyse even small defects over the entire asset such as cracking, chipping, corrosion and more. You can see exactly what needs doing, and accurately plan equipment, materials and manpower required.

Inspect, analyse and monitor long term asset trends

Challenge

Trends and change are difficult to monitor and evaluate using traditional inspection reports. If a defect is missed in an early stage it cannot be analysed retrospectively

Solution

Trendspek makes it easy to compare multiple datasets captured over time. Be empowered to identify long term trends and implement corrective action plans in advance.

Using multiple drone datasets you can compare your asset over time and compare them side by side.

A single source of truth

Challenge

Manual inspections and the information recorded at the time are subjective to the individual inspector, which leaves them exposed to human error.

Solution

Through Trendspek data, multiple parties can assess a defect using first hand information directly from the source. The data is non-subjective, reliable and error free providing you with confidence and certainty that nothing has been omitted.

Asset data delivered in a digestible form

Challenge

Most geospatial software is technically challenging to use meaning only a select few have the capability to interrogate and analyse the data output, or alternatively it doesn’t present data in digestible format.

Solution

Trendspek data can be processed and delivered in an easy to use, digestible format, meaning everyone from the CEO to the maintenance contractor can easily use the platform to it’s full potential..

Effective collaboration is key to success


Challenge

Collaboration between managers, stakeholders and contractors is difficult as no easily understood, single point of reference exists. Emails, meeting notes and reports are often missed or overlooked.

Solution

Trendspek data provides information in context, that is easily understood by all involved. With the added ability to easily share and chat live about asset data and analysis findings, to allow effective collaboration from anywhere, any time.

Drones; A faster, safer, more effective way to inspect assets

Challenge

Manual inspections on large structures are slow, costly and involve many safety risks to personnel. Therefore, they often need large and cumbersome machinery such as EWP’s or involve dangerous scaffold or rope access.

Solution

Drones are the fastest, safest and most economical solution to completing visual inspections of large structures, Therefore, they enhance profitability and productivity for those managing any physical asset.
