06Application scenarios
02
Mining Industry
Drones with LiDAR scanning, gas analysis and visual monitoring capabilities significantly improve the safety, productivity and effectiveness of mining operations. They can inspect hard-to-reach areas, create accurate maps of mine workings, and check resource reserves and equipment condition.
03
Oil and Gas Industry
Zillant can be used to monitor tanks, pipelines, distillation columns and cracking units on an ongoing basis. A variety of modules provide control from visual inspection to digital twins and 3D models.
04
Energy Facilities
Boilers, furnaces, tanks, chimneys, flues, pipes, turbines, cooling towers and other objects require visual or thermal imaging monitoring. The drone's compact size provides versatility for most types of power plants.
