Case Study: West Edmonton Mall achieves faster, safer amusement park inspections with Flyability's Elios drone

West Edmonton Mall cuts amusement park inspection time by 90% with Flyability

West Edmonton Mall, the largest shopping center in North America, faced significant challenges in inspecting the hard-to-reach infrastructure of its amusement park and waterpark rides. Manual inspections were slow, expensive, and posed safety risks, as they required erecting scaffolding and having personnel climb to dangerous heights. The mall partnered with vendor Flyability to utilize its Elios drone for a safer and more efficient inspection solution.

Flyability's Elios drone allowed inspectors to fly into confined spaces and closely examine areas that were previously inaccessible. This solution drastically reduced inspection times by approximately 90%, from 10-20 hours down to just 1-2 hours. The use of the Flyability drone also resulted in substantial cost savings of 84%, reducing inspection expenses from $68K to $11K USD, while simultaneously enhancing safety by eliminating the need for personnel to climb scaffolding.
