Liberaware Inc. successfully conducted an investigation using "IBIS2" over approximately 600 meters of public sewer pipes in Kobe City. This case will be one of the sewer pipe investigation examples following the investigation in Kitakyushu City using "IBIS2" on May 30, 2025 (Friday). In Kobe City, sewer pipe investigations have been conducted using visual inspections and television cameras (self-propelled and floating types) for some time. However, there were pipes that were difficult to investigate using conventional methods due to high water volumes, sediment accumulation, and the presence of toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, our company decided to conduct the investigation using aerial drones. *For more details about the news, please refer to the related link.

Sankyu, a major plant maintenance company engaged in engineering, logistics, and operational support. Inspection work to identify defective areas in plant equipment primarily relies on visual inspections by personnel. While scaffolding is set up and inspections are conducted using aerial work platforms, the time and cost required for these preparatory steps pose challenges. Moreover, these defective areas are often located in high, narrow, and dark places that are difficult for people to access, making the work challenging and dangerous. To address these issues, the company has introduced our inspection drone, 'IBIS.' It is used for inspections of production equipment in steel and petrochemical manufacturers, capturing images of facilities such as gas cleaning equipment and exhaust ducts. Furthermore, these images are utilized to generate orthomosaics. *We have compiled a case study on the use of inspection drones at Sankyu Corporation in a document.
