As the sun sets, variation in surface temperatures reveal unseen anomalies in the roof of this distribution center.

Data collection for roof inspections can take tremendous amounts of time. Large, deteriorating roofs are tricky and dangerous for inspectors to navigate on foot.

Thermal cameras have long been used to help identify issues unseen with the naked eye. Attach one to a drone and you can access hard to reach, unsafe areas in a matter of minutes.

In a fraction of the typical inspection time, a thermal drone helped identify anomalies in this roof. Replacing only damaged areas saved the owner from excessive cost and  down time.
