Inspection system and method for performing inspections in a storage facility

An inspection system for a storage facility, the storage facility having a floor extending along a horizontal plane, a vertical direction being perpendicular to said horizontal plane, the inspection system comprising:

• an automatic guided vehicle comprising
• a propulsion unit able to propel the automatic guided vehicle on the floor of the storage facility, and
• a bidimensional positioning system able to determine a bidimensional location of the automatic guided vehicle in the horizontal plane on the floor of the storage facility,
• an unmanned aerial vehicle comprising
• a propulsion unit able to propel the unmanned aerial vehicle and
• a measurement sensor able to acquire measurement data,
• wherein the inspection system further comprises:
• a position control system able to command the propulsion unit of the unmanned aerial vehicle to maintain said unmanned aerial vehicle substantially above the automatic guided vehicle in the vertical direction,
• an altitude sensor able to acquire relative vertical positioning data indicative of a relative vertical distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the automatic guided vehicle,
• a communication system able to transmit the measurement data to a remote server,
• wherein the inspection system is further able to transmit to said remote server a set of tridimensional coordinates associated with the measurement data, said set of tridimensional coordinates comprising
• a set of horizontal coordinates function of said bidimensional location of the automatic guided vehicle in the horizontal plane on the floor of the storage facility, and
• a vertical coordinate function of said relative vertical distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle with respect to the automatic guided vehicle.
