Maximum workplace safety: Protect your crew from the risks associated with working in confined, dark ballast tanks. The ASIO X takes care of visual detection in hazardous areas, while the pilot controls it from a safe distance.
Seamless corrosion monitoring: Thanks to 40,000 lumens and 4K cameras, you can reliably detect every detail, such as cracks or corrosion spots, even in pitch-black cargo holds.
Drastic time savings: Reduce inspection intervals from days to hours. The ASIO X is ready for immediate use without time-consuming preparations such as ventilation or safety systems.
challenges
The inspection of ships places extreme demands on technology, as massive metal structures often push conventional systems to their limits. We offer solutions to overcome these hurdles.
Interference from massive metal structures
Optical sensors and compasses often fail in confined metal environments. Our specialized radar stabilization system is insensitive to magnetic interference and moisture, allowing the drone to navigate safely even where other systems become unstable.
Navigation on large ship hulls
Maintaining a constant distance from smooth vertical walls is almost impossible for pilots to do manually with any degree of precision. The Wall Lock algorithm automatically keeps the drone at the perfect angle and distance from the hull, enabling seamless and focused damage assessment.
Danger from toxic gases in tanks
Closed ballast tanks often harbor invisible dangers due to gas concentrations. The ASIO X's integrated 4-gas measurement monitors the atmosphere (H2S, CO, O2, LEL) in real time and provides critical safety data even before personnel have to enter the facility.
Flybotix ASIO X
The ASIO X is the Swiss precision tool for maritime digitization. With its market-leading flight time of 20 minutes and orientable lidar system, it creates precise 3D point clouds of complex structures. The robust carbon protective cage easily withstands contact with frames or ladders.
