October 20, 2023 — Flyability, a leader in drone technology for confined spaces, is proud to announce the launch of a new Surveying Payload for its Elios 3 drone at InterGEO in Berlin. This latest innovation marks a significant step forward in improving the accuracy and efficiency of drone-based inspections in challenging environments.
The new payload, the Ouster OS0-128 Rev 7, offers enhanced performance with improved precision, a longer range, higher point density, and better photon sensitivity. It allows users to capture centimeter-level accurate scans of hard-to-reach areas, making it an ideal tool for professionals working in confined or hazardous spaces. The payload is sold as part of a complete package that includes training, reflective targets, and FARO Connect, a powerful software solution designed to process and manage the data collected by the Elios 3.
FARO Connect streamlines the workflow by automatically recognizing reflective targets as ground control points, enabling precise georeferencing and noise filtering. It also helps align multiple point clouds into one cohesive dataset, ensuring clear and accurate visualizations. The results can be exported in standard formats, making it easy to integrate with other tools and workflows.
This new payload is a great addition to the Elios 3’s capabilities, offering users more flexibility depending on their specific needs. Whether it's inspecting wastewater pipes, industrial facilities, or other inaccessible structures, the Surveying Payload provides the detail and reliability required for high-quality surveying work.
“We’re excited about this new payload because it represents a major advancement in what drones can achieve in terms of data quality,†said Adrien Briod, CTO and co-founder of Flyability. “It’s another step toward our vision of making drone inspections routine and efficient with minimal hardware changes.â€
Leo Martinez, Director of Mapping Products at FARO Technologies, added: “Flyability’s new survey package is a game-changer. Combining the updated payload with FARO Connect delivers a powerful solution that makes mapping inaccessible environments safer and more efficient.â€
The Surveying Payload is now available for purchase directly from Flyability and its authorized resellers. For more information, visit the Flyability website.
