Honeycomb Aerospace SU-50 intelligent unmanned airport was deployed in a region in Northwest China and successfully implemented the task of intelligent patrol of 100-km-long oil and gas pipeline. The managers of the inspection workstation accurately identified problems such as pipeline exposure, leakage accidents and the surrounding environment through the Honeycomb Aerospace UAV, significantly enhancing the efficiency and effect of oil and gas pipeline inspection.

In this project, because the total length of the oil and gas pipeline network is 100 kilometers, the geographical environment is complicated, the terrain is undulating, and it is crisscrossed with gullies, the traditional manual inspection method has a series of problems. In order to solve these problems, Honeycomb Aerospace has provided a complete set of "air, space and ground integrated intelligent inspection" solutions for the region.

By using the functions of SU-50 intelligent unmanned airport such as autonomous inspection, automatic charging, remote planning and command, and real-time data-returning, all-round and all-weather monitoring of oil and gas pipelines and the surrounding environment in specific areas can be carried out. This ensures that every part of the oil and gas pipeline system can be effectively covered and monitored, and the inspection coverage of the whole-scene of the oil and gas pipeline can be realized.

Through full-scenario UAV inspection of oil and gas pipelines, comprehensive monitoring of the situation of the pipelines and their surrounding environment can be carried out. Problems can be promptly detected and solutions proposed, so as to ensure the safe operation of the oil and gas pipeline system, minimize the likelihood of accidents, improve the efficiency and accuracy of inspection, and provide important support for the operation and management of oil and gas pipelines.

With the application of AI recognition technology, potential hazards in the vicinity of the pipeline can be quickly detected, and the information can be transmitted to the staff for real-time disposal. The Honeycomb Aerospace intelligent management platform is equipped with AI recognition technology. Based on deep learning and neural networks, adopting the "cloud-edge-end" integrated collaborative recognition mode, it can quickly identify and accurately locate potential hazards in the vicinity of oil and gas pipelines, and automatically identify and classify these potential hazards.

In order to comprehensively monitor the inspection process, Honeycomb Aerospace has developed an unattended monitoring system to grasp the daily pipeline inspection situation in real time, and to timely understand the inspection progress, potential hazards and real-time inspection images and videos to ensure that the safety status of the pipeline is under control.

The deployment of Honeycomb Aerospace SU-50 intelligent unmanned airport has not only greatly reduced the security risks and difficulties caused by manual inspection, but also significantly improved the inspection efficiency and precision of oil and gas pipelines. Whether it is regular survey of oil and gas pipelines, or emergency inspection and treatment of emergencies, the system can provide 24/7 uninterrupted surveillance. It opens up a new way to solve the pain points and difficulties of oil and gas pipeline inspection, and promotes the intelligent upgrading of oil and gas pipeline management.
