Hundreds of windows. Four crew members. Just two days.
Aero Velocity’s drone cleaning delivers results with less equipment, less water, and less disruption. Clean buildings, campuses, and industrial assets while reducing work at height, avoiding lifts and scaffolding, and minimizing downtime.

One of the biggest advantages of ScoutDI 's Automatic Surface Scan is the ability to collect consistent, repeatable inspection data with minimal pilot input.

This time-lapse shows three perspectives working together:
• Automatic Surface Scan executing the mission
• Scout Operator monitoring the flight in real time
• Scout Portal building the digital inspection as the data is collected

The result is more than just footage. It's a documented inspection that teams can review, analyze, measure, and compare over time to better understand the condition of critical assets.

Automation helps reduce variability between inspections, improves repeatability, and allows inspectors to focus on evaluating the asset instead of manually flying every inch of the structure.

This is where indoor drone inspections continue to evolve, from simply capturing video to creating reliable, data-driven inspection workflows.

Every hour a production tank or vat is offline can cost a facility thousands of dollars.

Traditional interior inspections may require confined-space entry, multiple crew members, scaffolding, and days of planning and downtime.

Using the ScoutDI indoor inspection drone, Aero Velocity can capture detailed visual data throughout these assets without putting personnel inside or constructing temporary scaffolding. What could take days using traditional methods can potentially be completed in a matter of hours, helping dairy and commercial food producers return critical equipment to service sooner.

Less downtime. Less risk. Faster access to the information needed to make maintenance decisions.

If your facility relies on tanks, vats, silos, or other difficult-to-access assets, let’s talk about whether drone-based inspection could improve your next planned outage.

What if you could inspect a confined space without sending someone inside?

Tanks, vessels, silos, stacks, and other confined spaces still need to be inspected. Putting people inside them can mean additional planning, permits, equipment, downtime, and most importantly, risk.

That’s where the Scout 137 changes the equation.

Built for operations in GPS-denied environments, the Scout 137 allows our team to capture detailed inspection data while keeping personnel outside the asset. With 128-beam LiDAR and optional ultrasonic thickness (UT) measurements, we can collect more than just video. We can build a clearer picture of asset condition and give inspection teams the information they need to make decisions.

For facility owners and inspection teams, the goal is simple: reduce exposure, minimize downtime, and collect better data.

See inside. Stay outside.

300,000 Images Captured During an Autonomous Hydropower Dam Inspection via Drone. (links to the video below)

A recent ScoutDI case study shows what's possible when autonomous drone inspections are combined with high-quality data collection.

At a hydropower dam in Sweden, the Scout 137 Drone System helped:
• Capture 300,000+ location-tagged, high-resolution images
• Increase inspection efficiency by approximately 50%
• Save more than 40 working days
• Eliminate the need for scaffolding and work at height
• Create a repeatable 3D model that allows engineers to compare crack progression over time

The biggest takeaway isn't just that the inspection was faster.

It's that asset owners now have a consistent digital record they can use to monitor structural changes year after year, making maintenance decisions based on data instead of assumptions.

This is where autonomous inspection is headed: safer operations, better documentation, and repeatable results for critical infrastructure.

As ScoutDI's U.S. partner, we're excited to help bring this capability to infrastructure owners across North America.

Why Distance Lock matters during an inspection

Flying inside a large storage tank isn't like flying outdoors.
There's no GPS.
The surfaces curve.
And manually maintaining the same distance from the wall for an entire inspection is incredibly difficult.

That's where Distance Lock comes in.

Distance Lock allows ScoutDI to automatically maintain a consistent stand-off distance from the surface being inspected while the operator focuses on the mission. Instead of constantly making small corrections to stay the same distance from the wall, the system helps keep that spacing consistent throughout the inspection.

Why does that matter?
A consistent distance means:
✔ More consistent image quality
✔ Better overlap between images
✔ More repeatable inspections
✔ More confidence when comparing inspections over time

It's not about making the drone fly itself.

It's about reducing one of the pilot's biggest workloads so they can focus on collecting high-quality inspection data.

Technology should help the operator—not replace them.

That's exactly what Distance Lock is designed to do.

Question for the industry:
What part of an internal inspection is the hardest to perform consistently from one inspection to the next?

Why fly the same inspection twice... differently?

Imagine inspecting the same storage tank every year.
If every flight is flown manually, the path, camera angle, and image spacing will naturally vary.

That makes it harder to compare today's inspection with last year's.

Automatic Surface Scan changes that.

Instead of manually flying every pass, the operator defines the inspection area and the ScoutDI follows a consistent scan pattern while maintaining a constant distance from the surface—even on curved tank walls. The pilot remains in control, monitoring coverage, image count, elapsed time, and the drone's position throughout the inspection.

The result isn't just easier flying.
It's more consistent data.

And when inspections are repeatable, comparing asset condition over time becomes much more meaningful.

That's the real value of automation.
It's not about replacing the pilot.

It's about giving inspection teams a repeatable workflow that supports better long-term asset management.

Question for the industry:
How important is repeatability when you're comparing inspection results year after year?
