UT Drone-Based Plant Inspection

Expanding the frontier of maintenance with drones

UT Drone Inspection Solutions – Drone Digital Transformation

Performing ultrasonic testing (UT) with drones, instead of manually, streamlines inspections and significantly reduces the time and cost of setting up temporary scaffolding to work at heights.
Seika’s original technologies also enable other advanced inspection solutions as part of a drone-based digital transformation.
