A demonstration experiment was conducted at a chemical factory in Mizushima Complex in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, to verify whether drones could be used for inspection of oil plants.

This demonstration experiment was conducted by the Mitsubishi Chemical Okayama Office in an attempt to verify that the plant inspection, which is usually carried out by the workers, could be carried out safely and efficiently by using a drone.

In the experiment, two large and small drones, such as those equipped with a camera with a maximum of 150 million pixels, were shot, and a tower of about 50 meters in height was shot from the sky to discharge gas outdoors.

In the future, we will ask photographers to take photos and videos to ensure that they have been photographed with a level of accuracy that can confirm the safety of the facility.

The use of drones for inspections of large-scale factories is expected to lead to the prevention of industrial accidents and the efficiency of inspections. In March, the government compiled guidelines that established safe operation methods. Promoting.

Mr. Junichi Morimoto of the Mitsubishi Chemical Okayama Plant said, “If we can inspect high places and places where humans cannot enter, we can conduct safer and more accurate inspections. I want to consider it positively. "
