The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), one of the foremost professional engineering associations worldwide, is responsible for creating numerous influential codes and standards, including the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC). The BPVC stands out as ASME's most comprehensive and widely-used code, recognized globally as the benchmark for designing, constructing, and maintaining boilers and pressure vessels across diverse industries.

Flyability is honored to participate in the Special Working Group (SWG) and bring its wealth of expertise in deploying drones for inspections in challenging environments such as indoors, hazardous zones, and confined spaces. Our team, comprising engineers, pilots, account managers, and partners, is dedicated to offering the committee valuable, hands-on insights into the safe and effective use of drones in various operational settings.

As the adoption of UAVs for inspections continues to grow, ASME is developing a standard to ensure the safe and reliable operation of this innovative technology. This new standard will be integrated into Section V, Nondestructive Testing, of the BPVC. According to ASME, the Special Working Group aims to establish guidelines and standards for inspecting industrial facilities—such as power plants, petrochemical facilities, and manufacturing sites—using safe and reliable UAS/UAV operations. The committee consists of inspection experts from some of the world’s leading industries.

“We’re incredibly excited to contribute to this groundbreaking initiative,” said Alexandre Meldem, Project Manager at Flyability. “The Special Working Group underscores the importance of leveraging robotics for faster, safer, and more cost-effective inspections. Through our involvement, we hope to help define the future of UAV inspections by sharing best practices gained from years of practical experience. Our goal is to ensure these inspections are conducted safely, reliably, and accessibly to those who require them the most—inspector teams.”

Moreover, Flyability believes that establishing standardized protocols will not only enhance safety but also foster broader acceptance of drone-based inspections within the industry. By collaborating closely with the ASME committee, Flyability hopes to address common challenges faced during UAV deployments, such as regulatory compliance, data management, and operator training. These efforts align with Flyability’s mission to democratize access to advanced inspection technologies, making them available to organizations of all sizes and technical capabilities.

As the project progresses, Flyability remains committed to sharing its expertise and fostering dialogue among stakeholders. The company anticipates that this collaboration will pave the way for more widespread adoption of UAVs in critical industrial applications, ultimately improving efficiency, reducing risks, and driving innovation in the field of nondestructive testing.

Scutching Machine

Scutching machine is a textile equipment used to open and untwist yarn or fabric from yarn spindles or looms, in order to facilitate subsequent processing or treatment. It usually includes opening device, untwisting device, tension control device, transmission device and other parts, which can be adjusted and controlled according to different yarn or fabric characteristics. The opening and twisting machine is widely used in textile, knitting, printing and dyeing, clothing and other industries.
