Announcement of tunnel inspection drone “PD4-AW-S”
PRODRONE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, President and CEO: Masakazu Kono, hereinafter referred to as PRODRONE) is pleased to announce that it has developed the PD4-AW-S, a drone that can fly automatically even in environments where GPS systems cannot be used. This machine will be on display at the PRODRONE booth at the industrial drone exhibition "InterDrone 2017" to be held in Las Vegas, USA from September 6th to 8th, 2017 (local time). "PD4-AW-S" is equipped with multiple laser systems. Automatic flight is possible even in environments where GPS systems cannot be used, such as in large warehouses or tunnel inspections. This makes it possible to reduce the burden of personnel costs for wide-ranging and long-term inspections. PRODRONE's unique autopilot system allows it to automatically avoid unexpected obstacles that can occur on construction sites and warehouses, which change daily, ensuring thorough safety measures. Video captured by the PD4-AW-S is transmitted in real time and can be viewed by the operator. Please look forward to the future of the tunnel inspection drone "PD4-AW-S". Regarding the specific product outline, we will notify you as a new product announcement once the details have been finalized.
