Case Study
Problem
Ductwork issues in the ceiling of the paper machine building. The only way for the mill to access it was to spend thousands of dollars on scaffolding.
Solution
Thompson proposed our new drone technology as an alternative to the dangerous and expensive scaffolding. The drone was able to inspect hard-to-reach areas quickly and safely saving the mill significant time and money.
Result
The Paper Machine Manager at the mill reported that “the video quality was perfect and allowed us to see our problem area. If there are issues in hard to reach places, then Thompson’s drone inspection service is the way to go.”
