There are many uses for drones in industry. These technologies are already being used to monitor water and land in the mining industry. They can also be used in multispectral data gathering, such frost and diseases, to create orthomaps to help field crews. These technologies can make agriculture more productive. Modesto, California's farmers use drones to monitor soil erosion levels and water levels.
Industrial drone applications
Drone delivery services for commercial purposes have become more common as more people shop from their homes. While traditional delivery services are costly, drones are becoming more efficient, reducing costs and CO2 emissions. Drones can deliver small packages or high-resolution information to remote areas. Drones can also create 3D maps. What's more, they're even offering bonuses to new signups.
GE Ventures
GE Ventures invests into drones for the oil and gas industry. Airware, an innovative startup based in San Francisco, has been chosen to partner with the company. Airware developed software and hardware that can be used to operate commercial drones. GE envisions drones being an integral part of various field service businesses, such as inspection of wind turbine blades or monitoring oil pipelines. The possibilities are endless, and Downey has some interesting family history. He is the son of a pilot family, which includes his grandfather and father. His great-uncle was even shot down over Europe during World War II. He laughs at his relatives who don't fly.
DJI
DJI drones' popularity has not been without its critics. Analysts believe that U.S.-China tensions might be having a "chilling affect" on potential purchasers, even though the company does not release official sales figures. Despite being relatively small, their competition has grown in recent years because of increased security concerns regarding Chinese drones and policy support. Parrot, a French company, has been able capitalize on the U.S. markets thanks to its drones, and Skydio, based in California.
SimActive
SimActive Inc. is a leader in photogrammetry software development and has announced the launch its drone mapping training program. This program offers educational documents, video tutorials, and on-site training sessions. SimActive's training covers all the basics of drone mapping, from drone operations to image processing. The program is intended for both novices and experienced drone operators alike. You should consider training drone operators if your company is considering adding them to its workflow.
Optelos
Optelos drones are a great option for industry. Optelos can be integrated with ServiceNow to populate GPS coordinates for detected issues. Optelos workflows could be tailored to meet organizational structures, to assign responsibilities to and complete route tasks. For additional insights, the thermography data can also be added to facility plans. Digital twin point cloud models can be used by users to measure stockpile volume and elevation changes.
Construction companies
Drones offer many advantages for construction companies. They provide precise aerial images that allow them to evaluate a site's progress and create a topographical map. The drones' sensors, laser scans, and multispectral cameras can collect many different aerial images, and these can then be stitched together using photogrammetry software to create an orthomosaic map of a site. This type of data is very useful for project management as well as inventory management.
