Case Study: ICL Dead Sea boosts productivity and streamlines inspections with Percepto autonomous drones

How ICL Dead Sea boosts productivity and streamlines inspection

Israeli Chemicals Ltd. (ICL) Dead Sea, a global manufacturing company, faced significant challenges in inspecting its critical infrastructure, including a private power grid and material piles, at its harsh desert site. Manual and piloted drone inspections were infrequent, costly, and posed safety risks, hindering productivity. To address this, ICL partnered with vendor Percepto to implement an autonomous drone-in-a-box solution.

Percepto’s system automated multiple on-site tasks, performing beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) inspections and security patrols 24/7. The solution provided actionable insights through thermal and visual data, enabling early fault detection and real-time emergency response. For ICL, this resulted in enhanced safety, optimized security, streamlined inspections, and a significant reduction in downtime and operational costs, thereby boosting overall productivity.
