Puyang Park: A new drone inspection model to support safe chemical production Author/Source: Zhongyuan Dahuahua Date: February 21, 2022 Clicks: 12 On February 21, Puyang Park held a ceremony for the delivery of drone equipment, carrying out the first flight-based inspection; this marked the introduction of intelligent drone inspection methods in this park, signaling the official adoption of this new approach. To advance the dual-carbon strategy and achieve a transformation toward unmanned, information-driven, and intelligent operations in tasks such as pipeline inspection and inspections at great heights, since the beginning of this year, the Information Technology Center and the Dispatch Center in this industrial park have successfully developed AI-based recognition and analysis systems, a drone inspection management platform, as well as training programs for operators of UTC unmanned aerial vehicles, taking into account the specific characteristics of the chemical industry facilities. By leveraging the excellent capabilities of drones, comprehensive and efficient inspections can be carried out without any obstacles in chemical plant areas, equipment, key sections of pipelines, dangerous zones that are inaccessible to humans, as well as in special environments. This approach helps to reduce the limitations and risks associated with manual inspections, thereby significantly lowering the risk level for workers who carry out high-risk tasks on the front line. It is understood that in the next step, the park will continue to expand the scope of applications for drones in chemical enterprises, enabling precise control of the payload carried by these drones. Functions such as flight task configuration, electronic safety fences, fire alarms, smoke detectors, detection of individuals not wearing safety helmets, and detection of people who have fallen to the ground can be flexibly utilized. Plans for drone inspection routes will be developed, and data from drone inspections will be analyzed to enable early detection of any abnormalities. Thanks to the various recognition functions provided by the AI platform, the level of drone inspection technology will continue to improve, thereby enhancing the efficiency and quality of inspection work and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the production facilities in the park.
