Intelligent drone inspection
from dispatch to review

We develop and integrate unified control systems for drone inspection, linking docks, routes and missions with image capture, AI analysis, alarm dispatch and follow-up review. Functions and device compatibility are scoped per project.

Client confidentiality & capability illustrations

To honor client confidentiality, related cases and scenes are anonymized. Client identities, locations, site imagery and client system screenshots are not shown. Images, videos and interfaces are illustrations of technical capabilities and applications, not client sites, measured system results or proof of project delivery. Maps, device identifiers and on-screen values are examples. Technical figures retain their stated sources, measurement methods and conditions; scope and acceptance criteria depend on site validation and project agreement.

Workflow

Dispatch, analysis and follow-up review

Each mission links devices, routes, time windows and captured results.

Combining missions across scenarios or clients is assessed against permissions, payloads and flight conditions.

  1. Dispatch

    Schedule recurring and ad-hoc missions; check device status, payloads and flight windows

  2. Flight

    Plan routes by target and capture point; log mission execution and image capture

  3. Analysis

    Edge or platform analysis per deployment; suspected anomalies go to human review

  4. Alarms

    Link anomalies to asset records and work orders by business rules; interfaces scoped separately

  5. Review

    Archive handling evidence and re-inspection results; used for model evaluation once authorized and quality-checked

Architecture

Unified control and business coordination

A unified control architecture built around inspection missions, with interface development and business integration.

3D mission dispatch: docks, closed-loop routes and flight altitude

3D route planning: closed-loop inspection and return to dock

3D route planning: closed-loop inspection and return to dock (Chinese UI) · Illustration, sample data

Routes leave from a dock and return to the same dock after inspection; altitudes are example heights above ground. Actual routes must be checked for terrain, obstacles, endurance and return margin, with return-to-home settings configured to device capability.

System Development

Unified inspection control: development and integration

Following the inspection workflow, we develop and integrate device access, route and mission management, flight monitoring and results archiving, with modules and interfaces configured per project.

Dock fleet management

Registration, status monitoring, remote operation and self-check for compatible devices

3D routes and missions

Waypoints, altitudes, capture points and recurring or ad-hoc missions on 3D terrain, configured per project

Operations records

Work areas, geofences, plans and flight logs, scoped per project

Live monitoring

Video link monitoring, manual takeover and return-to-home settings, subject to device and link conditions

Batteries and maintenance

Swap / charge status, cycle count, health and spare part alerts

Results delivery

Raw imagery and analysis archived by mission; backfill and distribution defined by the interface plan

  • Mission priority: emergency and recurring missions scheduled by agreed rules, with interruptions, resumptions and operations logged
  • Multi-tenant isolation: access to missions, routes, results and operations views configured by tenant and role
  • Offline strategy: local missions, caching, backfill and mission reconciliation confirmed against device capability and operating constraints
Inspection Algorithms

Algorithm evaluation and model iteration

Samples and evaluations are organized by line, season, lighting and target class. Human-reviewed data is used for iteration only after authorization, labeling and quality checks, and updates go live only after validation.

Visual recognition

Defect detection, change detection, smoke and fire, behavior and event recognition

Measurement and spatial analysis

Point cloud clearance, crack dimensions, volume and area calculation

LLM assistance

Alarm summaries, draft reports and procedure lookup from approved sources, reviewed by the business team

Deployment and updates

Edge or onboard deployment assessed by compute, model version and link; latency confirmed by testing

Delivered as subscribed scenario modules. Scenarios, modules and private deployment scope are set in the contract; ownership and use of training data are agreed separately.

Ten Scenarios

Inspection scenarios and targets

Scenario solutions organized by inspection target, capture method and deliverables.

S01

Power lines

Dispersed towers across mountains, river crossings and forests; components, corridor changes and review records must be linked.

Towers, fittings and insulators, conductors, corridors
S02

Solar and wind

Modules and turbines are captured by asset ID, operating condition and inspection area, with suspected faults checked on site.

Modules and strings, inverters, blades and towers
S03

Rivers and reservoirs

River sections, shorelines and levees need continuous segmented patrols with unified imagery, location and verification records.

Shorelines, levee hazard sections, intakes and outfalls
S04

Emergency response

After accidents or disasters, verifiable imagery is captured quickly and location and situation data provided to commanders.

Fires, hazmat incidents, flooding, landslides
S05

Forest fire prevention

Large forests with varied terrain and coverage; suspected smoke, hot spots and land changes need re-capture and ground checks.

Forests and reserves, restoration areas, water sources
S06

Urban management

Suspected new construction, bare land and facility issues spread across grids, linking discovery, dispatch and rectification checks.

Illegal construction, dust, street vending, municipal facilities
S07

Roads, bridges and tunnels

Bridge parts, high slopes and road sections are archived by component and segment for professional review.

Bridge structures and bearings, slopes, tunnel portals
S08

Pipelines and chemical parks

Pipeline corridors, stations and park facilities are patrolled by zone; construction changes and encroachment checked on site.

Pipeline corridors, valve stations, tank farms and flares
S09

Agricultural remote sensing

Plot and vegetation observations use consistent timing and boundaries, verified against ground samples.

Farmland and orchards, crop growth, disaster damage
S10

Earthwork survey

Progress comparison and volume calculation use a common survey area, coordinates and baseline, with versioned results.

Construction sites, cut and fill, stockpiles and spoil

High-voltage conductor measurement

A top-down view shows the tower crown, insulator strings and conductors. A magnified conductor region illustrates edge extraction, scale calibration and diameter measurement for human review.

Values shown are fictional examples. Accuracy for high-voltage tasks requires separate validation and does not inherit the low-voltage case figures below.

Rollout

Pilot validation and phased rollout

Start with a site assessment and a small pilot, then validate and expand in phases.

Confirm the first missions and validate device access, results review and settlement before assessing expansion.

  1. Site assessment

    Select the pilot city and 2–3 candidate sites; complete site surveys and airspace checks

    Suggested: weeks 1–2
  2. Requirements

    Visit 2–3 target customers to confirm first scenarios, deliverable standards and willingness to pay

    Suggested: weeks 2–4
  3. Responsibilities and contract

    Agree site use, cost sharing, revenue split and regional scope

    Suggested: weeks 4–5
  4. Deployment and pilot acceptance

    Build the first dock, open the platform and deliver the first inspection report for the agreed scenarios

    Suggested: weeks 5–8
Phase 1 · Validation2–3 sites

First site built and first inspection report delivered

Phase 2 · Expansion review10–20 sites

Assess more sites, mission volume and operating resources based on pilot results

Phase 3 · Regional expansionCross-region

Assess cross-region operating conditions, service organization and system support

The pace is a suggestion and can follow site availability and customer budget cycles. Keep Phase 1 small until procedures and airspace processes are in place.
