Flyability ELIOS 3: Drone inspections in high-bay warehouses - safety and the shortest possible downtimes

As the person responsible for the safety of a high-bay warehouse, you know how important regular and thorough inspections are.

Damage to racking components such as bent uprights, cracks or loose connections must be detected at an early stage in order to ensure safety and fulfil legal regulations such as DIN EN 15635. However, conventional inspection methods are often time-consuming, expensive and risky.

  • With the Drone inspections of the Flyability ELIOS 3 we offer a modern solution that addresses all of these challenges. Our drones capture high-resolution images and accurate LiDAR data that enable a detailed and precise inspection of your high-bay warehouses - without the use of ladders, lifting platforms or scaffolding.

  • Although the inspection requires a qualified rack inspector, they can work particularly efficiently thanks to the precise drone images and create the inspection report quickly and comprehensively. This minimises downtime and ensures uninterrupted inspection while your business continues to run.

  • The ELIOS 3 drone not only ensures precise results, but also protects inspection personnel from risky work assignments. By using the latest drone technology, you save time and money while increasing safety in your warehouse. The detailed images and reports form a solid basis for targeted maintenance measures and long-term planning to maintain the safety and stability of your warehouse facilities.

  • Rely on the Flyability ELIOS 3 and experience how drone inspections, combined with the efficiency of a rack inspector, make your high-bay warehouse safer, more efficient and more cost-effective.

Our experts develop Customised inspection solutions for rack inspections and use the Flyability ELIOS 3 drone to achieve precise and reliable results even in hard-to-reach storage areas.

What are the advantages of a shelf inspection with the Flyability ELIOS 3 drone?

The Shelf inspection with the Flyability ELIOS 3 drone offers the advantage that even hard-to-reach areas in the warehouse can be inspected quickly and precisely. The use of the drone eliminates the need for complex scaffolding or climbing operations and minimises the downtime of the racking, which makes operations more efficient.

How does drone inspection differ from conventional shelf inspections?

In contrast to conventional inspections, which often require long downtimes and extensive preparations, drone inspection enables flexible and timely inspections. The Flyability ELIOS 3 drone can manoeuvre quickly and safely through tight and hard-to-reach areas and provides detailed visual coverage in real time.

Which racking systems can be tested with the Flyability ELIOS 3?

The Flyability ELIOS 3 drone is suitable for inspecting all conceivable racking systems.

How safe is the inspection with the Flyability ELIOS 3 drone?

The Flyability ELIOS 3 drone is specially designed for use in confined or hard-to-reach environments. The shelf inspection is carried out safely from the ground and the drone is completely safe for its surroundings.

How long does a shelf inspection with the drone take?

The duration of the inspection depends on various aspects. Roughly speaking, with a height of 20 metres and a length of 90 metres per aisle, you can calculate one working day for the inspection. An empty rack is of course inspected much more quickly.

Who prepares the expertises and test reports after the drone inspection?

After the inspection with the Flyability ELIOS 3 drone, the collected data is analysed by a certified rack inspector. We provide our Flyability Inspector 5 software for this purpose. The reports fulfil all relevant standards.

Is the ELIOS 3 easy to operate and do I need special training?

Yes, the ELIOS 3 is user-friendly and can be controlled intuitively. However, the manufacturer, Flyability, offers training to ensure that operators can utilise the full potential of the drone and comply with all safety precautions. Please note: We are a service provider ourselves and do not offer training!

What happens if defects or damage are discovered during the inspection?

If the drone inspection reveals defects or damage to the racking systems, these are documented and recorded in a detailed inspection report. Obvious defects are communicated directly to the customer on site.

Can the drone inspection also be carried out during operation?

The aisle or gear must be unlocked during the inspection. However, the required downtime is comparatively short.
