Confined space entry means permits, gas monitoring, rescue cover and often a shutdown. A collision-tolerant drone such as the Elios can fly inside, fully lit and caged, and bring back imagery and video of places people should not have to enter.

Frequently asked questions
Is drone inspection safer than confined space entry?
It removes or reduces the need for people to enter hazardous spaces for visual inspection, cutting the time, permits and risk involved.
Does the drone need GPS?
No. Collision-tolerant confined space drones are designed to fly indoors without GPS, with onboard lighting and a protective cage.
What can a confined space drone not do?
It is a visual inspection tool. Where contact testing or thickness readings are required, the imagery helps target that work precisely.
