Storage. Presentation. Sharing. Reporting.
Scout Portal is ScoutDI’s inspection data platform — cloud software where inspection companies turn drone inspection data into delivered results. Every point of interest, UT measurement and video frame is anchored to a 3D model of the inspected asset, ready to review, annotate, share with clients, and turn into a report with one click.
Presentation in 3D
A SLAM engine automatically generates a 3D point-cloud model of the inspected asset from the drone's sensor data. Every point of interest, UT measurement and video frame is anchored to its exact position in that model.
One click on any finding jumps to its position in the 3D model and its timestamp in the video. Reviewers see context, not just data.
Review & annotation
Inspectors review each point of interest with its spatial metadata: distances to surfaces, camera pitch, and associated A-scan data for UT measurements. Pilot-flagged findings are surfaced first, making it easy to prioritise across hundreds of images.
Annotations drawn on images carry through to the report automatically. New points of interest can be generated from any frame of the 4K video — useful when a cleaner frame exists or a finding was missed during the flight.
Reporting & delivery
A one-click report generator produces a report containing all points of interest, metadata, image annotations and UT A-scans. Templates are customisable: add your own branding, layout and decide which metadata is included.
All data, including the processed results, can be downloaded from the Scout Portal whenever it is needed.
Built by ScoutDI, an ISO/IEC 27001-certified company. Inspection data is stored geo-redundantly on Microsoft Azure, with daily backups and encryption in transit and at rest. It is immediately available worldwide and easy to organise and retrieve years later.
Separate, fully isolated data areas per end client. External users are invited in for review. Read-only links with a set expiry can be sent to stakeholders who only need to view results.
Stakeholders can watch inspections in real time from anywhere in the world, giving immediate feedback and eliminating costly travel to the inspection site.
Scout 137 data flows straight into the Scout Portal with nothing to convert or configure. Designed for the unreliable, low-bandwidth connections of real offshore and remote sites, uploads hold up where a normal cloud tool would give up.
Every finding sits in a 3D model of the asset, so you can see exactly where it is and what surrounds it. Replay the inspection to put any measurement back in context, instead of reading rows in a spreadsheet.
Invite clients and stakeholders into their own secure space to review results, or send them a link when that is all they need. Everyone works from the same record, wherever they are.
Turn reviewed findings into a finished, branded report in one click, and hand over all the underlying data whenever a client or engineering team needs it.
