The 2024 User Conference organized by Flyability in Switzerland was nothing short of extraordinary. Initially planned for 150 attendees, the event quickly sold out with a total of 180 participants filling the Alpha-Palmiers Hotel in central Lausanne. This venue, known for its elegance and functionality, was perfectly suited to accommodate the large turnout. The Flyability team was thrilled to meet enthusiasts from all corners of the globe, eager to learn more about the innovations driving the company forward.
One of the highlights of the conference was the unveiling of the Elios 3’s latest payload—the ultrasonic thickness probe. Co-founder and CEO Patrick Thévoz kicked off the proceedings, introducing the payload before CTO Adrien Briod took the stage to narrate the fascinating journey of its development. This payload had been a dream for Flyability since the Elios 2 era, but it was the Elios 3’s modular design that finally made it a reality.
Adrien Briod skillfully demonstrated the payload during the event, showcasing its capabilities as he caught the flying drone with ease. The excitement was palpable, and Cygnus Instruments, a partner with over four decades of expertise in ultrasonic thickness measurement, was visibly impressed by the response. Their representatives noted the overwhelming enthusiasm in the room as the payload was put through its paces.
Stefano Zampieri, the product manager for the UT payload, emphasized the rigorous testing the payload underwent, logging over 100 days of fieldwork. He highlighted key features such as the articulated arm and cleaning module, which enable the payload to function effectively in challenging environments. Following this, industry experts like Malcolm Connolly from C-Bird, Courtland Penk from Osprey Integrity, and Danny Landry from Acuren shared their insights as panelists, discussing their experiences as beta testers and their expectations for the payload’s impact across various industries.
For those interested in reliving the event, the broadcast is available for viewing online.
The conference agenda featured a diverse lineup of global speakers, representing industries from China, South Africa, the UK, and the USA. On the first day, Bureau Veritas’s Marine and Offshore division, led by Sumit Paul and David Huet, discussed their efforts in analyzing data collected inside ships using the Elios 3 and AI. Calvin Rieb from Cargill then spoke about demonstrating the value of drones to stakeholders, offering practical advice for drone users and service providers alike.
The afternoon session focused on real-world stories. Darryl Epstein from Delta Scan shared his journey in digitizing infrastructure, while Marcus Jocham from DEKRA Visatec illustrated how drones have revolutionized asset inspection, enhancing both safety and efficiency. The energy sector was represented by Anders Lindstrom from Vattenfall, who outlined the Elios 3’s applications in hydro and nuclear plants. Amanda Smith from Sellafield and Kevin Young from the Idaho Environment Coalition participated in a panel discussion on nuclear waste management, highlighting how the Elios 3 provides safer access and innovative maintenance practices.
The second day commenced with Professor Jonathan Li from the University of Waterloo discussing the role of drone-based LiDAR scans in mining. Anthony da Silva from Suez Sevesc, in collaboration with Flyability’s Lucas Senault, explored the benefits of drone inspections for sewer management. James Arnott from TEXO concluded the expert talks by analyzing the Elios 3’s potential in oil and gas inspections, particularly in offshore environments.
The networking dinner at Domaine de la Crausaz was a memorable affair. Nestled among the vineyards overlooking Lake Leman, the venue provided a picturesque setting for attendees to connect. Attendees tested the UT payload in a controlled environment, enjoying both the food and the camaraderie. Spontaneous performances by attendees, including harmonica and bagpipe renditions, added a touch of charm to the evening.
Back at the hotel, the "Fishbowl" session showcased the versatility of the Elios drones through presentations by six guest speakers. From emergency response in the UK to stock volume measurements at cement plants, the applications were varied and impressive. Robert Heinecke, a firefighter, even drew laughter with anecdotes of using the Elios drones in firefighting scenarios.
Patrick Thévoz summed up the event, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to bring together users from around the world. The event was a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of Flyability’s community. As the team prepares for future events, they remain committed to pushing boundaries and fostering innovation. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming developments and events featuring the new Elios 3 UT payload.
