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 had previously been conducted using visual inspections and television cameras (self-propelled and floating types), but there were pipes that were difficult to investigate using conventional methods due to high water levels, sediment accumulation, and the presence of toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, we decided to conduct the investigation using our aerial drones. *For more details on 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 costs associated with these preparatory steps pose challenges. Additionally, defective areas in such equipment 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 utilized for inspections of production facilities in steel and petrochemical manufacturers, capturing images of equipment such as gas cleaning systems and exhaust ducts. Furthermore, these images are used to generate orthomosaics. *We have compiled a case study on the use of inspection drones at Sankyu Corporation in a document.
