NewDrone

NewDrone sells and sets up professional drones, robots and sensors for industry. It is a division of COMHAS Srl and works from Cinisello Balsamo, near Milan, in Italy. Its customers include utilities, industrial plants and operators of critical infrastructure.

COMHAS has more than 40 years of experience in industrial instruments and environmental monitoring. It started as a supplier of fixed measuring equipment. NewDrone brings that knowledge to aerial survey and mobile sensors. The company works with DJI Enterprise and says it combines reliability, precision and automation.

A key service is gas and methane detection with drones. NewDrone says drones lower the risk to people, inspect large areas fast and find leaks in places that are hard to reach. They also show leaks in real time, produce quick reports and fly automated missions that can be repeated exactly. Its sensors include thermal and optical cameras and gas analysis tools. They are used at refineries, chemical plants and energy sites. The company also offers a calibration certification service for drone thermal cameras, traceable to ISO 17025.

For solar farms, NewDrone supports automated thermal inspections that find hot modules and faulty strings. It also supports construction progress checks and rooftop plant inspections. For wind farms, it supports blade and tower inspections with AI tools that spot defects and corrosion.

The product range covers drones, payloads, the DJI Dock for remote drone operations around the clock, ground robots, flight termination and parachute kits, software and accessories. One payload is the Zenmuse L3 lidar sensor. NewDrone says it reaches up to 950 metres in range. The company also rents drones.

NewDrone helps customers choose the right drone or robot, set up the sensors and fit them into daily work. Its four-legged robots inspect areas that are dirty, hard to reach or unsafe for people. The company serves public safety, oil and gas, electric power, and aerial survey and construction.
