Challenges & Objectives
Client: Groupe-E, a leader in the energy sector, managing extensive infrastructure networks.
Key Challenges:
Groupe-E faced significant challenges in ensuring the safety and efficiency of its infrastructure inspections. Traditional inspection methods required considerable time, effort, and financial resources. The need to guarantee the safety of personnel during these inspections was particularly demanding, often necessitating elaborate setups like scaffolding or ropes. Additionally, comparing inspection results over time was difficult, as traditional methods lacked the precision needed to monitor changes in infrastructure over several years.
Objectives:
The primary goal was to streamline the inspection process while maintaining high safety standards. Groupe-E aimed to perform inspections with minimal preparation, reducing the time and resources required. They also sought to achieve more accurate and reliable data for comparing current infrastructure conditions with previous inspections.
Overcome Challenges
The adoption of the ASIO Drone significantly transformed Groupe-E’s inspection process, addressing the challenges they faced with remarkable efficiency.
Key Features & Benefits:
Elimination of Scaffolding and Ropes: The ASIO Drone’s ability to fly and navigate complex environments eliminated the need for traditional scaffolding or rope access. This not only reduced the physical risks associated with inspections but also dramatically decreased setup time.
Digitalized and Comparable Results: The drone provided digitized inspection results, enabling precise comparisons with past inspections. This feature was crucial for monitoring the condition of infrastructure over time, allowing for more informed decision-making regarding maintenance and repairs.
Workflow Improvements:
The introduction of the ASIO Drone streamlined Groupe-E’s workflow by reducing the need for extensive preparation. The process became faster, safer, and more cost-effective, with the added benefit of enhanced data accuracy.

The implementation of the ASIO Drone yielded significant improvements in Groupe-E’s inspection processes, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Quantified Results:
Cost Reduction: The inspection process became 60% cheaper, as the need for a team of three people on ropes was replaced by a single drone operator. This reduction in manpower and equipment led to substantial cost savings.
Enhanced Efficiency: The entire inspection process became more reliable and efficient, thanks to digitalization and 3D mapping. The time required for preparations was also reduced, allowing inspections to be conducted with less notice.
Qualitative Improvements:
Increased Safety: The need to expose personnel to dangerous situations was significantly reduced, enhancing overall safety during inspections.
Professionalism: The drone’s video recording capabilities and digitalized data ensured a more professional and thorough inspection process, providing detailed documentation that could be reviewed and compared over time.
Access to Previously Unreachable Areas: The ASIO Drone enabled inspections of parts of the infrastructure that were previously difficult or impossible to reach, ensuring a more comprehensive assessment of the installation.
Conclusion
Integration of Inspection Drones in Industrial Operations
The integration of the ASIO Drone into Groupe-E’s inspection processes has revolutionized their approach to infrastructure management. By reducing costs, increasing safety, and enhancing the accuracy of inspection data, the ASIO Drone has proven to be an invaluable asset. Its extended flight time, ease of use, and ability to navigate complex environments make it a standout solution in the market. Groupe-E’s experience highlights the significant advantages of adopting drone technology for industrial inspections, offering a faster return on investment and a more professional approach to maintaining critical infrastructure.
