This opens up new possibilities for efficiently and precisely inspecting plant components, even in confined, hazardous, or previously hard-to-access areas. To fully exploit the potential of this technology, the vgbe team completed an intensive one-week training course at the manufacturer\u00bfs facilities in Switzerland. The aim was to further deepen safe and professional operation of the drone.   \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08b22fd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"08b22fd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50bb75b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"50bb75b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Drohne_vgbe-services_Beitragsbild_1280-1024x576.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-35635\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Drohne_vgbe-services_Beitragsbild_1280-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Drohne_vgbe-services_Beitragsbild_1280-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Drohne_vgbe-services_Beitragsbild_1280-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Drohne_vgbe-services_Beitragsbild_1280.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f69cba e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3f69cba\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-faf14a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"faf14a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With the Elios 3, 3D scans can be created and high-resolution images and videos captured, which can be analysed directly by vgbe experts. This provides detailed insights for condition assessments, quality assurance, and damage analyses. In addition, the integrated UT system enables wall thickness measurements.  <\/p><p>Limitations caused by short inspection times due to restricted battery life are a thing of the past thanks to the tether system used. This allows for unlimited flight time and is therefore ideal for longer and more complex inspections in confined or enclosed spaces.
