[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] DB Insurance announced on the 16th that it will utilize drones for safety inspection consulting at customer sites.

It has become possible to easily inspect wide areas and tall structures that were previously impossible or required a lot of time using conventional methods. In particular, quantitative risk assessment is possible by using not only simple photography but also thermal imaging cameras and 3D surveying cameras.

The drones are planned to be used at large business sites, construction sites, accident sites, and natural disaster areas, and it is expected that human, material, and social losses can be prevented in advance at these sites. DB Insurance explained that on the 8th, it conducted its first drone survey at the solar power facility in Taean, completing the inspection of 40,000 panels in just two hours.

Kang Jeung-su, head of the Risk Management Research Institute at DB Insurance, said, "We plan to build an automated safety inspection system using artificial intelligence in the future based on data acquired by integrating advanced technologies," adding, "It is the natural duty of an insurance company to contribute to the safety of customer sites by adopting rapidly advancing cutting-edge equipment."
