Fully digitize
your inspection process
Manual visual inspection of industrial assets is costly, time-consuming and exposes human operators to risk of injury.
Scout 137 is a complete drone system for inspection of confined spaces and indoor industrial assets that eliminates the need for scaffolding or climbing.
Follow inspections live in our cloud portal, geo-tag findings with their precise location in the 3D asset model and generate reports.

ScoutDI and DNV GL successfully inspects an FPSO cargo tank for Altera Infra
Our drone system has successfully inspected a 19.4 meter high oil tank on board a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessel. The video shot by the drone was interpreted in real-time by an algorithm to detect cracks in the structure. The goal is to make tank inspections more efficient and safer for surveyors, delivering the same quality while minimizing operational downtime for the customers.

“The Scout drone system did a complete visual inspection of a tank on one of our FPSOs – avoiding use of climbers. We really like the way inspection data is geo-tagged and presented in the Scout web portal”
– Halvard Benjaminsen, Senior Control & Automation Engineer, Aker BP
“We want to be less intrusive, so class is not driving inspection regime, but that we are fitting into the regime to cut costs and be more efficient, and at the same time have better quality. “
– Are Torstensen, Director of Technology and Service Development, DNV GL
A complete inspection system
Ground Control App
Control the drone via a tablet with the Scout Ground Control app. Display the live video stream, control the camera as well as the powerful onboard illumination and register findings.
Scout Cloud Portal
Follow inspections live via our portal in the cloud. Re-play inspections in a split screen view, where the position of the drone along with the video is shown in a 3D model of the asset. Collect inspection data over time to develop trends and generate reports.
Tether System
Our tether system provides the drone with unlimited flight time as well as a reliable, high bandwidth data link. Never lose contact with the drone, even if it is deployed from the outside of a tank or a confined space.
