Announcement of high-voltage electric wire inspection drone “PD8-AW-HR”

株式会社プロドローン(本社：愛知県名古屋市中区、代表取締役社長：河野 雅一、以下：PRODRONE)は、この度、高圧電線検査ドローン「PD8-AW-HR」を開発したことをお知らせします。本機は、現地時間2017年9月6日から8日まで米国ラスベガスで開催される産業用ドローン展「InterDrone 2017」のPRODRONEブースにおいて参考展示されます。 「PD8-AW-HR」は、PRODRONE独自のオートパイロットシステムにより予め設定した点検コースを自動で飛行します。キヤノン製の超高解像度のカメラを搭載することにより、鮮明な画像をリアルタイムでオペレーターの元へ送信します。優れた画像認識技術により、鉄塔と鉄塔の間で孤を描く電線に沿って自動で飛行し、確実に電線を撮影します。 It also accurately captures the shooting position of images, making later maintenance work easier. 従来は点検員が登ったりヘリコプターを使ったりしていた高圧電線の点検作業も、ドローンの導入によって安全性の高い点検が行えるだけでなく、コスト削減も可能にします。 PRODRONE supports the lives of many people while helping create a safe and comfortable working environment. Please look forward to the future of the high-voltage wire inspection drone "PD8-AW-HR." Regarding the specific product outline, we will notify you as a new product announcement once the details have been finalized.
