Drones “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” are not in the future, they are already in the present, and they are used in many different industries worldwide.
- Aerial Mapping
Drones equipped with LiDAR sensors can be used to create high-resolution 3D maps and models of the terrain and features of an area. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to measure the distance to an object or surface. By analyzing the data collected from the LiDAR sensor, it is possible to create a 3D model of the surveyed area with centimetre-level accuracy. This can be useful for a wide range of applications, including mapping, surveying, construction, and more.
- Monitoring and management
From traffic monitoring to agriculture and environmental protection.
Drone technology provides a quick, safe, and cost-effective way to map and monitor large areas for environmental purposes, such as investigation, protection, and management. This method is particularly useful in situations where it is dangerous or difficult for humans or vehicles to access. By using drones, we can easily gather important data and make informed decisions, even in challenging conditions.
- Construction
From Real Estate to Land development
Drones can be a very useful tool for topographic surveys and construction projects. Aerial images and 3D models generated by drones can provide a comprehensive overview of the site and can be used to plan and design the project more efficiently. Drones can also be used to monitor the progress of the construction project, identify any potential issues or bottlenecks, and ensure that the work is being carried out according to plan.
- Photography and Videography
From Advertising to Cinematography
Advertising companies are using drones to complement their marketing campaigns. The images and videos captured by UAVs are used to create higher quality and more engaging content to engage customers.
- Inspection
From Roof inspection to Oil and gas industries
Drones are being used by the oil and gas industry to inspect and monitor their assets, such as pipelines, storage tanks, and offshore platforms. Drones equipped with sensors and cameras can quickly and safely collect data and images of the assets, which can be used to assess their condition and identify any potential issues. This can help to reduce downtime and minimize the risk of accidents or incidents, as it is often more efficient and safer to use drones for inspections than to send technicians to physically access the assets.
