Smart Inspections: Drones and Artificial Intelligence for a More Efficient Energy Sector
In an industry where every decision matters and the margin for error is minimal, the way we inspect and monitor facilities is in a profound transformation. Today, technology enables us to adopt a preventive approach: minimising incidents and optimising operational performance is no longer a utopia but part of our daily operations.
More Than Just Drones: Data-Driven Decision-Making
At Uali, drones are just a part of the equation. What truly transforms operations is the ability to access reliable, rapid and actionable data. Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, our drone captures critical information, even in hard-to-reach or high-risk areas. But the real difference lies in what we do with that data. .
Thanks to our artificial intelligence-based platform, we process vast volumes of information in record time. We detect patterns, anomalies, and unusual behaviours that may lead to failures or unscheduled outages. This allows us to take action before issues arise. It’s smart prevention — acting in time, avoiding unforeseen problems, and protecting resources.

Safety, Efficiency, and a Lower Environmental Impact
The use of drones and AI not only improves efficiency — it also reduces risk to personnel and lessens environmental impact. By avoiding unnecessary travel, complex manual tasks and exposure to hazardous conditions, teams can work more safely and with better planning. Furthermore, waste is reduced by eliminating poorly scheduled maintenance or repetitive inspections.

Inspections That Think
The future of inspections is not just about seeing more — it’s about better understanding what we’re seeing. With increasingly intelligent tools, inspections are no longer just another operational step; they become a strategic source of insight and continuous improvement.
