industry unlocked
“ This is a great first step and a concrete result of our partnership with Telefónica ,” said Jorge Muñoz , Vice President of Business and Marketing at Unmanned Life . “ This innovative product is unique in its style , will set a benchmark in the market and will allow us to demonstrate that it is a secure technology that delivers concrete benefits to users . Together we are building an autonomous future that will improve security and inspections in an optimal , safe and environmentally sustainable way .”
Telefónica Tech has also used drones to develop a predictive maintenance solution for electricity grids , with the aim of ensuring their reliability and guaranteeing their proper functioning . Its implementation will increase the safety of companies , improve the quality of the process and optimise costs compared to traditional methods .
The drone used for the inspection of medium and high voltage networks ( VTOL , which combine fixed wing with propellers and whose take-offs and landings are performed vertically ) has
Telefónica Ingeniería de Seguridad ’ s solution is designed especially for companies that lack specialised personnel in these surveillance and security functions or for those that want to assign their human teams to perform other tasks of greater added value . an optical camera , a thermal camera , a LiDAR ( remote sensing using laser light ) and a gas sensor . The aircraft weighs only 5.5kg , reaches a maximum speed of 100km / h and has a range of up to five hours .
The information captured by the sensors is transmitted via 5G for processing with pre-trained Artificial Intelligence algorithms , which combine this data with historical and other external sources to assess which elements require maintenance . If anomalies are detected , the system is able to generate early alerts that indicate the need for more detailed analysis or to establish a new flight for more specific captures .
The solution also has a flight management platform where the drone ’ s functions and movements are controlled , flight missions are planned , annotations are made on the map based on the data collected by the aircraft and video with telemetry information is collected .
“ We are very proud to continue innovating and accompanying companies www . intelligentciso . com
