Frequently asked questions
The cost of a drone inspection cannot be quantified across the board, as they depend heavily on the specific requirements and challenges of the mission. At Kopterflug we know that Quality and expertise have their price, but this price is justified by the value we offer our customers.
Our many years of experience in industrial inspection enables us to deliver precise solutions for complex problems. For many years, we have built up our expertise in the inspection of demanding industrial plants using drones. This expertise is reflected in our numerous successful projects and references.
Why does a drone inspection with Kopterflug cost its price?
Extensive experience and professionalismEvery project we carry out benefits from our years of experience and in-depth knowledge. We always arrive on site as a team of two to ensure maximum precision and safety.
State-of-the-art technologyOur drones, such as the Flyability Elios 3, cost well over 45,000 euros and require regular, rigorous maintenance. Only such highly specialised equipment can provide the quality and accuracy that our customers expect from us.
Complex data acquisition and processingCompliance with specific customer requirements and the professional preparation of the collected data are demanding processes that require in-depth technical understanding and state-of-the-art software.
Problem costs in the high five- to six-figure rangeThe problems we solve for our customers often run into the five to six-figure euro range. Our inspections help to minimise these considerable costs through preventive maintenance and early damage detection.
Years of expertiseOur expertise did not develop overnight. It has taken us years of intensive work, training and significant financial investment to reach the level we offer today. That's why our services have their price - they reflect the value we bring to our customers.
Cheaper and safer than conventional methodsDespite the investment in technology and expertise, a drone inspection is still significantly cheaper and safer than conventional methods such as erecting scaffolding or using cranes. Especially when you consider the costs of production downtime.
ConclusionDrone inspection is more cost-effective and safer compared to traditional inspection methods. It is not "cheap" in absolute terms, but it is a smart investment. This is because the use of our specialised drones and the extensive expertise of our teams guarantee a level of quality and safety that other methods simply cannot offer. While "flying a drone somewhere outside" is a simple task, navigating safely and precisely in complex, often dangerous indoor spaces requires a level of professionalism and skill that few possess. We are the experts for this.
