Among the main records was the<strong> integration of <\/strong>optimized<strong> ultrasonic sensors <\/strong>that have significantly improved the accuracy of technical measurements. <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, a <strong>gas detector<\/strong>was integrated into <strong>the drones<\/strong>to increase safety in closed and potentially hazardous environments such as crude oil tanks. In addition, the use of a new, improved wire brush allowed up to 10 times more inspections to be performed during the same period. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Continuous power supply<\/strong> through a connected cable minimized the need for landings for battery exchange, optimizing work times and reducing operational risks. This renewed agreement for fiscal year 2025 is focused on perfecting the drone&#8217;s structure and developing new measurement technologies. <\/p>\n\n<p>Moreover, <strong>redesigning the airframe<\/strong> to improve its maintainability, stability and robustness will facilitate its global deployment in different locations. The integration of high-resolution cameras and reinforced mooring cables will also contribute to increased inspection capacity in large tanks. <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, advanced explosion-proof measures will be implemented for cabled systems and the design will be optimized to <strong>facilitate the aerial transport of drones<\/strong>, responding to logistical needs in international operations.<\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-7452d964-8e0e-434c-8722-e283cd8a8d98\"><strong>Follow us on social networks and don&#8217;t miss any of our publications!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-e2855ed1-40c2-45d5-8f10-42fa8b26dae2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inspenet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow\">X (Twitter)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@inspenet?_t=8qqIL6dRGNR&amp;_r=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-a90af035-7ee7-4f00-80b9-6c97f3d833b3\"><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modec.com\/news\/2025\/20250617_pr_TerraDrone.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MODEC<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The renewal of this strategic alliance increases the commitment of both companies to the digitization and automation of critical processes in the oil industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":268507,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13036],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-268950","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-oil-and-gas"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/268950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/268950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=268950"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=268950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
