ATON DRONE TECHNOLOGY
Technology for port inspections
Professional drones, sensors and dedicated software for planning and carrying out inspections of marine aids to navigation and port infrastructure, and reviewing the results.
Modular equipment
Real-time data
Digital data and reports
THE SOLUTION
Three connected components
01 / Equipment
Drones and sensors
Drones of different sizes and sensors selected to suit the asset, inspection type and operating conditions at the port.
02 / Field operations
Control application
Flight control, inspection tasks and data acquisition brought together on the drone’s remote controller.
03 / Planning and analysis
Web platform
Port and aids to navigation data, operations management, and access to imagery and results in a shared web environment.
KEY FEATURES
Functions throughout the inspection
Automated inspection flights
Repeatable flight profiles and routes adapted to each inspection task.
Real-time inspection data
Images, measurements and inspection progress available in the control application.
Remote monitoring
Access to data through the web platform when connectivity is available during the operation.
Sensor integration
Cameras and measuring equipment selected to suit the asset and the information required.
Inspection reports
Results and supporting evidence organised for technical analysis and inspection documentation.
Inspection history
Operations, imagery and results stored for later review and comparison.
PROFESSIONAL DRONES
The right drone for each operation
ATON Drone by ITE uses commercial drones selected to suit the inspection task and deployment requirements. Each configuration is adapted to the port environment and the sensors required.
- Compact drones for easy transport and deployment at different locations within the port
- Fixed docking station configurations for repeated missions from the same location
- Higher-capacity platforms for specialist sensors and payloads
ITE updates the ATON software to extend compatibility with new drone models and configurations. Equipment is selected for each application.
CONTROL APPLICATION
Flight control and inspection data on one screen
The ATON application brings flight control and inspection functions together on the remote controller. The operator can carry out tasks and monitor image and data acquisition through a single interface.
- Flight control and inspection functions in a single application
- Real-time imagery, measurements and inspection progress
- Tasks and flight profiles adapted to each inspection type
WEB PLATFORM
Planning, monitoring and review of results
The platform centralises information on ports, aids to navigation and infrastructure. It supports operations planning and access to inspection data and results. With connectivity, it also enables remote monitoring of the operation.
● Remote access when connectivity is available
- Prepare and organise inspection operations
- Monitor inspection data remotely during the operation
- Review results and access the inspection history
DATA AND REPORTS
Documented, accessible results
Data from each inspection is organised alongside imagery and measurements to support technical analysis and report preparation. Results remain available for review and monitoring over time.
- Inspection data and measurements
- Georeferenced imagery and supporting evidence
- Documented results tailored to the inspection type
- Access through the web platform
