AI POWERED PROFESSIONAL DRONE SERVICES
OUR DRONE SERVICES
• We have a great team of professional drone experts available right here in the USA
• We provide the HW & SW expertise and personalized support to any drone project
• We are not just a drone service company but with our in-depth expertise in AI and machine learning
(ML), we develop actual applications to expedite the analysis and increase the accuracy of the studies
• All the images and videos collected by the drones are post-processed by our AI software stack that is
customized toward various industries
• We provide tailored solutions with our drone services, training, consulting, and AI/ML software
development branches.
• Everything from inspections to maintenance to identifying pioneering ways to keep your costs
competitive while remaining profitable, we got you covered.
DRONES IN CONSTRUCTION
• Monitor and track productivity on all construction projects via detailed aerial views with high quality images
and videos
• Collect comprehensive data for site planning and modeling. Offer cost-effective volume calculations and
analysis. Identify challenges and opportunities presented by the terrain to assist your people in every phase of a
construction project
• We offer inspections for buildings, bridges, roadways, railroads, roofs, cell towers, cooling towers, oil and gas
infrastructure, solar and wind farms
• We use thermal imaging coupled with our own software to detect leaks, faulty material and structures, as well
as potential energy loss in a fraction of the time it would take to manually inspect an object
• We provide accurate 2D/3D aerial maps and topographic surveys. The drones capture detailed images and
videos of large areas, allowing you to identify obstacles and take advantage of geo-spatial data features
VALUE PROPOSITION FOR DRONES IN CONSTRUCTION
• Inspections with drones are significantly faster, more efficient, more accurate, and cheaper
• Provide high resolution images and videos from any vantage point
• Can be used to document the construction progress
• Allow for real-time distance, area, and volume measurements via the 2D/3D models
• Significantly reduce costs and improve safety for high rise inspections
APPROACH
• We compile various models based on (thermal) images and videos. The data is analyzed via our software stack
to create detailed maps and models of the buildings, job sites, or structures. These maps and models are
available onsite or at the headquarters for further analysis or client meetings. Based on the drone data, we
provide detailed facade analysis of buildings and structures. The drone can be flown in a predefined pattern
capturing images of every inch of the structure. These images can then be analyzed by the engineers, managers,
or (building) inspectors in a safe manner. Further, the data provides digital records of the process where the
current state can be accurately documented, and potential issues can be addressed instantly. This data can also
be used for insurance purposes and further analysis.
• The 3D models of the buildings, job sites, and structures can be used to accurately determine distances, areas,
height profiles, and volume measurements. These measurements allow builders to plan potential alterations or
repairs to the building or structure. The thermal images can be used to identify deficiencies in building materials
and so improve safety and allow for timely repairs. All of this allows for a much more streamlined cost and
time analysis, as well as actual cost predictions of the construction jobs.
DRONES FOR ROOF INSPECTIONS
• Drones expediate roof inspections and surveys
• Provide brisk assessment & problem area identification
• Provide comprehensive scans of large buildings
• Provide roof assessments for property owners, engineers/architects, or for insurance
claims
• Report on areas of possible leaks, faulty material, damage, and/or roofing deficiencies
VALUE PROPOSITION FOR ROOF INSPECTIONS
• Roof inspections traditionally require observations either from the ground level, from a ladder, or by physically walking the roof.
These observations not only involve steep angles, but also spacious and even inaccessible areas. The amount of time required
for these traditional methods is costly and rather risky. As the traditional approach is time consuming and has physical
limitations, accurately observing every inch of a roof is extremely unlikely, and the quality of these inspections is very limited.
• A drone is able to capture high quality images and videos of not only the roof, but of the entire structure and property in a
fraction of the time it takes to do this via the traditional way. Drones allow to observe the results of the inspection from the
ground and with our AI software, we can prepare a detailed analysis of the data in less time and with virtually no risk of injury.
We use thermal imaging for roof inspections and with our software, are able to detect water infiltration in roofs and facades.
Piloting a drone with a thermal camera allows us to detect areas of water damage, leaks, mold, and rot. The traditional way to
detect water damage is either based on educated guesses or requires the removal of the building’s exterior to get an
assessment.
• We provide detailed 2D/3D models of the property and its structures that reveal the condition of the elements that can be
used to establish accurate plans for repair and replacement jobs. Our software stack can even identify wind or hail damage, data
than can be used to file a claim with an insurance company.
DRONES FOR WIND TURBINE INSPECTIONS
• Drones can fly tremendously close to structures, allowing to inspect objects with complicated designs and hard to reach areas in a
very efficient and accurate manner. Regular preventative maintenance significantly extends the lifespan of turbines and ensure that
they output the maximum possible power under all conditions. Inspecting turbines is a challenge, as they depict rather tall
constructs and the internal structure of the blades is prone to structural problems that may not be visible from the outside.
• Since the internal structure of a blade heats and cools at different rates, using thermal images coupled with our software, we can
identify the small fluctuations and report on it. Inspecting turbines with drones allows an outage to shrink from hours to minutes.
Some other benefits are:
• We safely assess the condition and orientation of all components of wind turbines
• The wind farm remains functional during inspection
• Increase efficiency due to data accuracy and reliability
• We proactively identify and mitigate risks for power distribution
• Lower the inspection cost by up to 50%
• Increase safety as nobody must ascend to dangers heights
• Real-time analysis of the data
• Thermal images are used to inspect and monitor the blades and the general structure
VALUE PROPOSITION FOR DRONES IN WIND TURBINE INSPECTION
• The traditional way requires to halt the turbine with a blade in the six o’clock position
while operatives are lowered down from the top (on ropes or cables) and the inspection
is conducted by banging on the blade to estimate the soundness of the material. The key
issues here are:
• The process is very time consuming
• The approach is rather subjective and so is definitely error prone
• Outside factors such as wind or rain further reduce the accuracy of the traditional method
• The turbine is out of service for hours and hence income is lost
• Operatives are put at risk by working at these heights
• Damaged turbines are a massive financial loss, as well as a safety hazard
