Flyability
About the project:
The winner of the 'Survey and Inspection' award is Flyability, whose use of drones indoors to undertake industrial inspections replaces the need for humans to do them. This is not only much safer, but also significantly reduces the cost of the inspection and the time needed. Because using drones indoor makes inspection safer, quicker and cheaper, this technology also has an impact on sustainability, allowing industrial sites to run more efficiently.
What Airwards Judges said:
A market-leading solution having a global impact in the inspection of hard-to-reach places, keeping humans out of harm’s way. Not only is this an amazing bit of kit, but as a product and service, it is very well designed and clearly provides significant safety benefits. It is designed with safety of personnel in mind, meaning no need to conduct inspections manually. The drone is designed to remove people from working at height and in hazardous spaces, and it also helps facilities run more efficiently and thus sustainably. Ultimately, this is not about replacing jobs; it is about helping people with their jobs and ensuring they’re not placed in danger.
