Sensor IDS: a merger

When two strong parties meet, there is a multitude of possible outcomes. Aetos Drones and Trinova saw the advantage of joining forces and offering high-quality services under the new name Sensor IDS.

Unique in our service

Sensor IDS is the only drone service provider with a VCA* company certificate. So it is in our genes to service SEVESO companies, operating according to the highest possible safety standards.
The Port of Antwerp is our cradle, and our drive for innovation has already presented many challenges. As a result, we have acquired extensive knowledge about flares, chimneys and tanks, which we inspect visually and thermally, both on the outside and inside.
(Petro)chemistry, and the oil and gas industry are our biotope, but thanks to our unbridled ambition we have also built up a broad portfolio in other sectors. Take a look at our ‘services’ page and discover: how we use photogrammetry to bring cathedrals to life in 3D, expose thermal differences, inspect wind turbine blades or measure raw material volumes efficiently and accurately.

Experience, expertise and specialisations

The backbone of Sensor IDS is a team of specialists with many diplomas, training and experiences:
4 Certified pilots with years of flight experience know perfectly how to visualize an object, so our reality modeler conjures up a digital twin on your screen. Trained by the Global Wind Organization (GWO), we inspect wind turbines on- and offshore with the necessary skills.
Our level 3 thermograph detects any gas leak with its Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera.
Do you have a challenge to make your company safer? Our robotics engineer develops technology to support you.

a drone company, ready for the future

We realize that it is important to work with a solid partner. Thanks to the industrial Groep Maes, we remain a stable company in a rapidly evolving new market.
Of course, we extend far beyond the port of Antwerp and are not only active in Belgium, but throughout the Benelux, France and Germany. With unified European legislation in sight, we are preparing ourselves for the future, not only ours, but yours as well.
