Argentina’s infrastructure expansion requires precise inspection and automation. Microavia can provide this with infrastructure inspection drones with 60-minute flight time and 15 km range. 

Operators maintain 98% uptime through autonomous battery swaps completed in two minutes. Industrial drone automation reduces downtime, and improves safety and asset management across hard-to-reach sites. 

Microavia Drone-in-a-Box stations can minimize manual inspection risks while providing continuous monitoring of industrial infrastructure in Argentina.

Energy, Utilities & Hydroelectric Facilities in Argentina: Drone Solutions
Microavia drones operate in temperatures from -35 °C to +55 °C. This makes them suitable for Argentina’s hydroelectric facilities and remote power sites, including areas in Patagonia and the Comahue region, which face extreme weather such as winter lows below -19 °C and wind gusts over 100 km/h.

For inspection of power lines and hydroelectric stations, our Drone-in-a-Box stations offer:

• centimeter-level RTK positioning;
• EO cameras with 30× optical zoom and thermal imagers detecting objects at 2,428 m;
• automated pre-flight checks and return-to-home protocols.

Railways, Ports & Freight Networks in Argentina: Drone Solutions
Argentina’s transport networks can benefit from railway infrastructure and port monitoring drones. Microavia drones reach speeds of 60 km/h and cruise at 12.5 m/s, covering long corridors efficiently. Our docking stations provide 98% uptime with automated battery swaps, supporting continuous logistics monitoring. 

Encrypted communication and real-time video streaming maintain control across ports and railways. Weatherproof, dustproof, and water-resistant design allows our drones to operate in coastal and inland conditions.

Argentina’s oil and gas sector and natural reserves demand advanced monitoring: 

• large‑scale reserves and growing production mean more assets spread across remote or harsh terrain;
• non‑conventional operations — such as shale — often require more frequent inspections, and better logistics and safety standards;
• the infrastructure growth — export pipelines, new fields — increases surface area and complexity, which raises risk of leaks, failures, environmental impact, etc.

Autonomous smart monitoring drone systems for the oil and gas sector help prevent the high costs of downtime and failures.

Autonomous Oversight of Patagonia Production Fields Using Drones
Patagonia’s oil and gas fields are remote and exposed to extreme weather, with winter lows below ‑20 °C and strong winds. 
Microavia drones can provide autonomous oversight for oil and gas industrial monitoring. This includes: 

• detecting unauthorized access, environmental hazards, and operational anomalies; 
• continuous inspection of pipelines, well pads, and access roads;
• BVLOS patrols covering remote or hard-to-reach areas;
• centimeter-level RTK positioning for precise location tracking;
• real-time video streaming and automated reporting to central monitoring systems;
• automated battery swaps enabling 98% uptime and uninterrupted operations.

Wildfire Detection & Ecological Drone Monitoring in Argentina
Argentina’s forests, grasslands, and protected areas face wildfire risks and environmental hazards, often in remote or hard-to-access locations. 

Microavia drones can provide autonomous environmental monitoring and emergency response. This includes:

• tracking illegal logging or mining; thermal imagers identify people at 792 m and vehicles at 2,428 m;
• detecting heat signatures and smoke;
• providing detailed surveys through combined optical and digital zoom up to 16×;
• BVLOS patrols across remote or inaccessible regions;
• real-time video streaming, anomaly-detection AI, and automated reporting to central monitoring systems;
• operation in extreme environments, from -35 °C to +55 °C;
• high uptime and 24/7 monitoring thanks to automated battery swaps.
