The key topics covered by Pieter in this video:
- TotalEnergies' journey from the first Elios 1 to the latest Elios 3 inspection drone
- How drone inspections eliminate scaffolding and reduce confined space risks
- The main oil and gas applications: tanks, pressure vessels, drums, ovens, and stacks
- The top three benefits of drones: reduced downtime, lower costs, and improved safety
- TotalEnergies' future plans: integrating the new UT payload for roof thickness measurements

Using the Elios 3, TotalEnergies can save up to €15,000 per tank inspection while improving worker safety and operational efficiency.
