Voliro just dropped its latest upgrade for industrial inspections, the Voliro T Version 5, adding a punch of new features tailored for tough environments like offshore rigs and wind farms. With the addition of 5G connectivity and enhanced hardware for durability, the Version 5 upgrade is designed to meet the evolving needs of industries where accuracy and efficiency aren’t just nice to have—they’re essential.
5G Data Speeds and Real-Time Health Monitoring
One of the most notable upgrades here is 5G support, making real-time data transfer to the Voliro Cloud a central feature. This capability brings real-time health monitoring and proactive maintenance to the forefront, allowing operators to catch potential issues before they turn into full-blown problems. It also means faster and smoother software upgrades, letting operators manage adjustments remotely and cut down on on-site support.
For industries working on tight schedules and in hard-to-reach locations, the combination of instant data and proactive maintenance tools could be a game-changer. It means fewer trips out to remote sites and a more hands-off approach to maintenance, boosting productivity without cutting corners on safety.
The Voliro T Version 5Hardware Overhaul for Harsh Environments
The Voliro T Version 5 also got a hardware revamp to handle extreme conditions. With a new triple-redundant flight controller and redesigned electronics, the drone is engineered to keep operating in high-wind and GPS-denied environments. Improved components like a new tail motor, reinforced bumpers, and corrosion-resistant materials mean the drone can take on more extreme inspections, from hot, corrosive environments to high-altitude wind zones.
Operators also get upgraded motor control. The drone’s new flight controller now taps into data from its electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to detect any unusual motor activity before it becomes a bigger issue. These preemptive alerts help avoid interruptions, ensuring that inspections stay on schedule.
A Lighter, Faster-Handling Design
In addition to its added resilience, the Voliro T Version 5 has slimmed down by about 250 grams, extending its flight time and sharpening its handling. The lighter frame, along with streamlined assembly features, is aimed at making the drone easier to deploy and maneuver in tight spaces or challenging weather conditions.
Looking Ahead
Voliro’s latest version seems engineered for industries pushing into remote and rugged territories, where infrastructure maintenance is challenging and time-sensitive. As demand for non-destructive testing tech grows in fields like energy and utilities, Voliro T Version 5 is positioning itself as a versatile tool to handle the job. For companies aiming to maximize uptime while keeping personnel out of risky spaces, this upgraded drone could mark a new step forward.
