Experience Direct Drone Repairs at SEKIDO and Toyo Can Event
On July 23, 2026, a unique free event titled "Direct Repair from Drones [SEKIDO × Toyo Can] in Tsurumi" will take place in Yokohama, Japan. Jointly hosted by Sekido Corporation, a licensed distributor of DJI drones, and Toyo Can Co., this event aims to showcase the innovative capabilities of drones in high-altitude maintenance and inspections.
Event Overview
The primary focus of this event will be on the immediate actions taken after inspections of high-altitude equipment, particularly addressing issues like water leaks, rust, leaks, and bird damage. Attendees will witness live demonstrations of the "SABOT-3 BLOCK2" spray can injection device, designed specifically for drone applications. The demonstrations will cover various repair tasks including
- - Water leak repairs with silicone paint
- - Rust repairs using a black rust converter and touch-up paint
- - Pipe leak checks with a leak detection liquid
- - Application of bird deterrents
- - Wall painting
- - Exterior wall marking
This hands-on approach allows participants to see how drones can supplement or even replace some aspects of high-altitude work.
How the SABOT-3 BLOCK2 Works
The SABOT-3 BLOCK2 is a remote-controlled spray can device that can be mounted on the DJI Matrice 400. It aims to streamline the initial response and emergency repair processes before scaffolding or high-altitude work vehicles are deployed. By enabling remote spraying, it broadens the range of options available for maintenance tasks traditionally limited by safety protocols and labor logistics.
What to Expect During the Event
- - Live demonstrations will cover a spectrum of applications from simple repairs to more specialized tasks, showcasing the potential of drones in industrial settings. Each session will allow participants to test the spray operation on their own, providing a first-hand look at the equipment's spraying accuracy and ease of use.
- - Since the event operates on a first-come-first-served basis, only ten participants can register for each session. This small group setting ensures personalized consultation regarding operational deployment and the implementation of drone technology in maintenance workflows.
- - Media representatives are also welcome to cover the event, with opportunities for filming and interviews with company leaders.
Who Should Attend?
This event is ideal for professionals involved in facility maintenance, factory management, and infrastructure inspections. Attendees will benefit by discovering how to expedite initial response actions after inspections, validating practical solutions for common issues like leaks and rust, and proposing alternative methods to traditional high-altitude tasks. Anyone interested in leveraging drone technology beyond inspection purposes will find this session particularly informative.
Drone Capabilities
The SABOT-3 system makes it possible to carry out tasks from merely observing to actively engaging in operational duties. It features remote spraying of liquids contained within drone-specific spray cans, providing functionalities for marking, light repairs, and pest deterrents. The implementation model, SABOT-3 BLOCK2, is compatible with the DJI Matrice 400, which is essential in extending its application for high-altitude repair and inspection activities.
