Abstract:
An inspection system for a storage facility including an automatic guided vehicle with a bidimensional positioning system, an unmanned aerial vehicle with a measurement sensor, a position control system to maintain the unmanned aerial vehicle above the automatic guided vehicle, an altitude sensor to acquire a relative vertical distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the automatic guided vehicle, and a communication system to transmit the measurement data to a remote server. The inspection system transmits to the remote server a set of tridimensional coordinates associated with the measurement data comprising horizontal coordinates function of the bidimensional location of the automatic guided vehicle on the floor of the storage facility and a vertical coordinate function of the relative vertical distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle with respect to the automatic guided vehicle.
