mission challenge
Complex terrain · Low labor efficiency
The target route passes through mountains and canyons. Traditional manual tower inspections have a long cycle and high safety risks, and it is difficult to complete full route coverage within a limited window period.
The customer needs to complete the quarterly inspection within two weeks and output an archiveable defect list and coordinate positioning.
solution
DX-H6 + dual load autonomous inspection
It uses a DX-H6 pure electric module equipped with a visible light zoom camera and an infrared thermal imaging pod to fly autonomously according to a preset track, and combines RTK positioning to achieve centimeter-level pole and tower coordinate recording.
The ground station monitors the image transmission in real time, and after the task is completed, it automatically generates a defect report and thermal comparison chart for the operation and maintenance team to dispatch work for processing.
