You're standing beneath a high-voltage pylon or walking the length of a pipeline, and everything looks fine. The thermal camera shows nothing alarming. The visual feed is clean. But something in your gut says otherwise. That instinct, it turns out, has a scientific basis and now, there's technology that can back it up. When we first started thinking seriously about the limitations of drone-based inspections, the problem kept...]]></description><link>https://www.dutchwing.eu/post/how-acoustic-cameras-are-changing-industrial-drone-inspections</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ea1ce9ab5395dde608ab30</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:47:20 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2ec73e_7d089b52d808414683a27310610ed3b6~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_682,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Marcel de Graaf</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[True sovereignty isn’t a concept; it’s a conscious choice.]]></title><description><![CDATA[When we look at the DW-10 on our table, we see more than just a carbon fiber/EPP drone. We see a system we built ourselves, starting from the very first line of code. In this industry, it’s common to take the easy route: buying off-the-shelf software and hoping the updates keep rolling in. We do things differently. Our vision on in-house software development: Data security without compromises.

If you’re managing a wind farm in the North Sea or overseeing security at the Port of Hamburg, the "where" and "how" of your hardware is starting to matter just as much as how long it can stay in the air.

However, a shift is underway towards specialized fixed-wing UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), such as our DW-10.

A fixed-wing drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed with rigid wings that generate lift, much like a traditional aircraft. Instead of relying on multiple rotors, it combines forward thrust and aerodynamic efficiency to achieve long-endurance flight.
