THERMAL DRONE INSPECTIONS

Petrov Sky Dynamics is a high-tech company owned by SKY PICTURES BULGARIA, specializing in intelligent inspections and diagnostics of industrial and strategic facilities using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and specialized software for thermal, optical, and spatial analysis.

What We Offer

Our core services include:
• Preventive and on-demand UAV inspections of:
• Photovoltaic parks and rooftop solar installations;
• Wind turbines;
• Industrial and manufacturing facilities;
• Buildings (including roofs, façades, and insulation);
• Energy, gas, and oil infrastructure;
• Maritime facilities and vessels;
• Metal structures and other critical systems.

• Detection of defects invisible to the human eye, including:
• Overheating and inefficiency in solar panels;
• Leaks in roofs, façades, and pipelines;
• Corrosion on metal parts and joints;
• Damage to insulation, cables, and connectors.

• Energy efficiency analysis of buildings and facilities
• Monitoring of ecological zones and water bodies (rivers, sea, reservoirs)

Technological Advantages

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Drones)

We operate top-tier industrial drones (Enterprise series) equipped with:
• Thermal cameras (FLIR, MWIR, LWIR) – to detect heat anomalies;
• High-resolution RGB cameras – for detailed visual comparison;
• AI-based software – for automatic recognition of defects, objects, and anomalies;
• RTK GPS – for millimeter-level precision positioning;
• LiDAR (optional) – for 3D modeling of structures and terrain.

Operational Resilience in Harsh Conditions

Our drones can fly in winds up to 20 m/s and operate in a wide range of weather conditions, enabling:
• Missions in hard-to-access or hazardous areas;
• Uninterrupted work across all seasons, day or night.

Real-Time Diagnostics

Our software platform allows:
• Real-time transmission of thermal and visual feeds to a command center;
• Comparative analysis with past inspections for trend tracking;
• Full reports with problem localization, temperature data, defect type, and
recommendations.

Thermal and standard cameras stream video live to a ground station, where a second operator monitors a larger screen with enhanced software that detects specific heat signatures or constructs high-resolution environmental maps. This second operator can be located anywhere in the world, supported by modern connectivity solutions.

Additionally, all involved institutions and stakeholders can be granted real-time access via a simple web interface. Video, telemetry, and AI-analyzed data are transmitted with no delay—or minimal latency of just a few milliseconds per camera—enabling immediate decisions and coordinated response.

With a single touch on a screen, mobile phone, or device, the system can transmit GPS coordinates with a visual marker to another agency or field team involved in the operation—ideal for rapid action during time-sensitive missions.

When and Why to Choose Drone Inspections

Preventive drone inspections:
• Reduce the risk of breakdowns and costly downtime;
• Enable early detection of issues before they escalate into serious faults;
• Are fast, safe, and far more cost-effective than traditional methods involving lifts, ropes, or human access.

Applications and Use Cases

• Photovoltaic plants – overheating, damaged cells, contamination, electrical connectors, inverters, diode groups, mechanical faults;
• Renewable energy (wind turbines) – inspections of blades, rotor heads, gearboxes;
• Heat and gas pipelines – losses, leaks, insulation issues;
• Metal structures and tanks – corrosion, deformations, leak detection;
• Maritime vessels and tankers – thermal and visual checks of hulls, coatings, cargo areas, deformed or broken internal ribs, inspections while in motion, structural twisting;
• Buildings and infrastructure – energy performance, humidity, facade defects, leaks, square meter and volume calculations.
