This document discusses using drones to inspect industrial components and structures. It provides guidelines for carrying out drone-supported surveys, including choosing drones and sensors, flight planning, and risk assessment. Drones can be equipped with cameras, thermal sensors, and other devices to inspect equipment, pipelines, solar panels, buildings, and more. Regulations divide drones into classes based on weight, and pilots require certifications. Future regulations in Europe may create a single drone category and adjust certification requirements. Inspections allow evaluating assets without direct contact or safety equipment and can reduce time and costs compared to traditional methods.
