Nutradia opts for smoke detector inspection using drones
The challenge: safety in a complex environment
For Nutradia, a company in the food industry, safety is an absolute priority. This also applies to the periodic inspection of fire detection systems. With smoke detectors and beams suspended at a height of 10 metres between high racks and complex structures, this inspection was a logistical challenge.
Aurore, trainer and prevention advisor at Nutradia, explains, ‘For me, the switch to drone inspection was mainly a matter of safety. In a food company, that is extremely important. It is also much faster and more practical.’
The solution: precision and efficiency through drone technology
Vinçotte deployed its advanced drone inspection system to tackle the challenge. The inspection was thoroughly prepared, with our experts visiting the site in advance to assess the conditions.
The system proved to be exceptionally effective. The drone was able to fly effortlessly over the high scaffolding and easily access all smoke detectors and beams on the 10-metre-high roof. Our inspector was able to carry out all tests without any risk at height, and the results were perfect: all detectors responded correctly, without the slightest anomaly.
The result: a stronger safety culture
The inspection went smoothly and safely and also had the great advantage of not disrupting daily activities on site.
‘The inspection went very smoothly,’ confirms Vincent Wautelet, supervisor for the technical side at Nutradia. ‘The preparation was crucial and made the process very easy. I think this approach is much safer for everyone.’
At Vinçotte, we are proud of our innovative approach, which not only guarantees the safety of our customers, but also contributes to the efficiency of their business operations.
