How we measure pipeline and tank inspection
Every claim is tied to the mission, the environment and test evidence. These are the indicators we capture, each with its denominator and conditions.
- Autonomous mission completion · rounds or tasks finished without help
- Interventions per 100 missions · how often a person has to step in
- Mean time between assistance
- Resource endurance · missions per charge in industrial · outdoor conditions
- Constraint compliance · zones, speeds and safety limits respected
Targets are agreed per site during the WaaS Assessment, never promised in general.

Where the return comes from
We model return from your own baseline, not from generic averages. For pipeline and tank inspection the levers are:
- Labor hours redeployed from repetitive rounds to higher-value work
- Exposure avoided · fewer people in hazardous or monotonous tasks
- Coverage and consistency · more frequent, evidence-backed cycles
- Avoided downtime · issues caught earlier
We do not publish generic ROI figures. Your WaaS Assessment produces yours.
