Discover how NS Stations, the national rail authority in the Netherlands, have developed and deployed a unique drone program to empower their team with a safer, faster inspection workflow.
NS Stations manage critical buildings around rail networks, including the train stations themselves and nearby storage areas. They use infrastructure inspection drones like the Elios 3 to inspect roofspaces and internal structures that can be hard to reach without shutdowns that can cause massive disruption for goods and people.
Using drones for large facility inspections like this offers minimal disruption, streamlined data collection, and keeps the inspection teams safe. The result? Accurate digital twins of critical infrastructure without any of the headaches, slow down, or high costs associated with traditional inspection methods. No trains cancelled or delayed, but all of the data needed to make decisions.
