FAST & RELIABLE
the optimum solution for inspecting Solar Parks
IDS – INDUSTRIAL DRONE SERVICES has been active in the renewable energy sector in Greece since 2011. In 2019 we introduced our aerial inspection solutions to Solar Parks and other industrial installations using specialized drones.
Our services provide comprehensive, fast and cost-efficient solutions for the inspection and identification of anomalies in a wide range of industrial assets with the use of state-of-the-art aerial inspection systems.
IDS offers to businesses that own, maintain or manage Solar Parks a simple, centralised and efficient way to utilise innovative technologies for aerial inspection.
IDS drone services provide an extremely fast inspection-time on-site, support our clients in achieving lower inspection costs, asset performance optimisation, 100% site coverage and monitoring systematically and efficiently all assets through a comprehensive reporting system.
