Enhancing Drone Inspections: CLUE's DroneRoofer and the DJI Matrice 4T

In an exciting development for the drone technology sector, CLUE Inc., located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has announced that its innovative roof and exterior inspection service, DroneRoofer, will now support the industrial-grade infrared drone, the DJI Matrice 4T. This enhancement marks a significant step forward in drone-assisted inspections for various large structures including solar panels, schools, and hospitals.

Key Features of the DJI Matrice 4T

The DJI Matrice 4T stands out with its upgraded infrared camera capabilities that offer a higher resolution compared to its predecessor, the DJI Mavic 3T. One of its most remarkable features is the 112x hybrid zoom, which allows inspectors to conduct thorough assessments without needing to be in close proximity to the structures they are analyzing.

High-Resolution Infrared Camera

The advanced infrared camera now provides clearer, high-resolution thermal imaging. This improvement allows inspectors to easily detect minute temperature differences, which helps identify issues like water leakage and abnormalities in solar panels. Additionally, it enables inspections of exterior wall tiles that were previously challenging to analyze.

Hybrid Zoom Capability

With a 16x optical zoom and an incredible maximum of 112x hybrid zoom, the camera empowers inspectors to capture detailed, high-quality images even from a safe distance. This is particularly beneficial for inspecting expansive structures, allowing for the detection of fine cracks and other defects directly from afar.

Expanded Use Cases for DroneRoofer

The integration of the DJI Matrice 4T into DroneRoofer broadens its application possibilities significantly:

Water Leak Detection

Utilizing the high-resolution infrared imaging, inspectors can now discern temperature variations more precisely. This capacity enhances their ability to pinpoint even subtle water leaks that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Solar Panel Anomaly Detection

The clear infrared images can accurately identify hotspots on solar panels, ensuring that maintenance teams can effectively manage the performance and efficiency of solar power systems.

Assessment of Exterior Wall Tiles

The meticulous imaging capabilities of the Matrice 4T help assess the minor elevation of exterior wall tiles for maintenance or replacement decisions, an area that could be challenging without high-tech assistance.

Safe Inspections from a Distance

One of the most significant benefits of this technology is that it allows inspectors to conduct assessments from a safe distance without climbing structures. This capability protects workers from potential hazards while maintaining high levels of efficiency and accuracy.

DroneRoofer has long been recognized as a standard tool for safely and efficiently conducting roof and exterior inspections, and with its compatibility with the DJI Matrice 4T, it now possesses enhanced precision and adaptability for larger building inspections. CLUE aims to capitalize on this development by accelerating the provision of drone-based inspection solutions for large-scale structures like offices, hospitals, and other institutional buildings.

Opportunities for Trial Flights

For enterprises considering this new inspection solution, CLUE is offering trial flights to experience the capabilities of the Matrice 4T firsthand. Businesses interested in leveraging drone technology for inspection tasks of large buildings are encouraged to reach out for this exclusive opportunity.
