Operated by the main inspection players

The U130 micro-UAV solution has become the reference for close inspection over the last few years. Major players in the field of structure inspection have chosen the U130 solution.

Some prestigious missions have contributed to make the U130 the perfect tool for close inspection : the comprehensive inspection of the Millau viaduct (highest viaduct in the world), façades survey in the Gravelines’ nuclear plant (north of France), inspection of numerous hydraulic structures or high-tension pylons for the french electricity company.

 

More than a UAV, a comprehensive inspection solution

The U130 is a tool used for acquisition of data in the field. Novadem is aware that the main part of the work begins once back at the office with the processing of data, the interpretation and redaction of the final report for your customer.

This is why the U130 solution integrates technologies specifically developed for inspection and a one-of-a-kind software designed to facilitate the data processing.

Technologies adapted to close inspection

 Security and quality : Novadem has never compromised on none of them. To guarantee a high level of security and the quality of your inspections, Novadem has developed specific technologies for the U130 :

  • Range finder : Get a real-time distance information between the U130 and the inspected structure. Ensure a mastered and uniform distance throughout the inspection.
  • Propeller shields : add an additional level of security by protecting propellers from contacts with structures. Assemble and disassemble propeller shields easily in the field.
  • Laser sight : project two laser points on the inspected structure to obtain a scale in the picture allowing to determine the size of detected defects.
  • Embedded digital video filter : detect easily defects thanks to the embedded digital video filter which highlights cracks’ edges in real time (from 0,1 mm).
  • Auxiliary receiver : get the video flow and telemetry data in real time on a second laptop. A second operator can consequently take care of the orientation of the gimbal and pictures’ triggering.

A one-of-a-kind software designed for your business

NovaEDITOR has been developed to facilitate the processing of your data after a close inspection.

Get an exhaustive spatial representation of the structure, thus facilitating the visualisation and location of defects.

Annotate defects directly in the pictures thanks to customizable layers. A database of detected defects, integrating measuring information, is automatically generated.

Export the database in different formats (CSV, DXF) allowing to use results with your usual processing chain (ex : AutoCAD®).

Easily share the results with your customers thanks to the integrated viewer.
