Traditional Drone Inspections Are Failing Asset Managers — Here’s the Fix

Traditional Drone Inspections Are Failing Asset Managers — Here’s the Fix

Last updated on

Let’s cut through the noise.

Drone inspections have come a long way. But here’s the truth: if you’re still handling data flight-by-flight, you’re not managing assets — you’re babysitting fragmented video files. And no one has time for that.

Asset managers don’t want to sift through raw data. They want clear, consolidated insight into the state of their infrastructure. One version of the truth. One digital twin. One actionable report.

That’s where Flyability’s Asset Management Software Extension comes in.

This is next-gen asset intelligence. Built specifically to turn your Elios 3 drone flights into a living, evolving digital twin that tracks inspections across time, across flights, and across the entire site.

And here’s the kicker: it requires zero post-processing. All of this happens live, during capture.

What’s the big shift?

Until now, drone-based inspections produced disconnected silos of data — one flight, one dataset, one headache at a time.

This extension changes that:

Real-Time Data Merging

Build your asset’s digital twin flight by flight. The software automatically merges each new inspection into a unified 3D model. You’re no longer reviewing flights—you’re managing your asset.

Asset-Centric Visualisation

Forget clip-by-clip reviews. Click a point of interest and jump straight to the right frame in the right video. Data that used to take hours to interpret is now accessible in seconds.

Smarter, Faster Reporting

Compile a multi-flight inspection into a single, accurate, exportable report in just a few clicks. Maintenance planning and decision-making are now driven by live data, not spreadsheets and guesswork.

Complete Overview, Not Isolated Snapshots

Colourise your point cloud by flight. Visualise and filter it all in one view. Use unified timelines to switch across flights effortlessly. You’re not just getting data—you’re getting insight.

Designed for the Real World

9200+ racking joints captured in 4 days.
37 flights merged live for a tank thickness inspection — no post-processing.
All UT points displayed in context, on the digital twin.
Safe, efficient, and completely grounded — no working at height.

This isn’t theoretical. This is live and in use with major UK organisations right now.

The Bottom Line

This is the kind of capability asset managers have wanted for years. It makes inspections faster, safer, and more intelligent. It doesn’t just reduce time on site — it fundamentally changes the ROI of every inspection you run.

And if you’re operating in the UK, here’s the non-negotiable detail:

This solution is only available through Coptrz.

We’re not just selling a feature — we’re offering a complete asset intelligence platform that turns drones into decision-making tools.

So, if you’re tired of drowning in disconnected data and ready to start managing infrastructure properly, talk to Coptrz.
