Gazprom representatives learned about ZALA’s expertise in digital infrastructure monitoring
Representatives of PJSC Gazprom visited the Italmas research centre at ZALA to learn about the latest developments in aerial monitoring for the civil sector using artificial intelligence technologies. During the visit, the guests were given a detailed presentation of ZALA’s unmanned monitoring process, which today goes far beyond simple data collection and enables detailed analytical data on changes at extensive sites to be obtained directly during flight, with a final detailed report available just a few hours after the UAV lands.
The process is underpinned by the company’s state-of-the-art ZALA unmanned aerial vehicles and technological solutions, which are based on artificial intelligence algorithms — IRRA on-board hardware and software complex and the specialised software "GeoHorizon" and "GeoDynamics". Centralised data management is implemented through 4Z1 digital platform. The geoinformation resource provides the customer with continuous online access to overhead imagery from UAVs and to the media archive.
The technologies presented are already actively used by the largest drone operators in Russia, confirming their reliability and efficiency. The visit of the Gazprom delegation reflects the growing interest of big business in intelligent infrastructure monitoring tools and could become a starting point for further cooperation in the digitalization of the fuel and energy sector's processes.
