Agriculture

Drones are becoming key in driving innovation in agriculture. Historically, farming has always been a ‘hands-on’ and time-consuming process, however Drones are increasing in popularity for farming. Drones can be equipped with a multispectral camera, allowing an entire field to be scanned in a matter of minutes. Other technology suited to agriculture include 3D mapping for land management and volumetrics for keeping track of waste.

Although it may be an unusual sight spotting a Drone on a farm, they are instrumental in improving efficiencies and helping farmers to:

  • Manage crops

    Counting crops or detecting pests and disease

  • Analyse

    Analyse soil and crop health all year round

  • Identify

    Identify where fertiliser is best delivered

  • Monitoring

    Monitoring livestock using night vision and thermal imaging

Forestry Environmental

Forest husbandry is an extremely important service to understand the health of our forests, increase overall vegetation coverage which in turn may prevent landslides, minimise disease outbreaks and improve yield estimations.
Drones play a vital role in collecting the required data utilising a wide range of sensors including:

  • High-resolution, high-speed RGB still images
  • High-resolution (up to 8k) video capture
  • Thermal imaging stills & video with co-aligned R.B.G.
  • Multi-spectral simultaneous five-band RedEdge and RGB with up-dwell ambient correction
  • Hyper-spectral 560 band

Weatherproofing and Drone resilience and endurance is key when performing missions over thick canopies in driving rain and strong winds to ensure that the mission is completed successfully and the Drone and sensor(s) is returned back to base safely

Cinematography

Possibly one of the most popular industries for commercial Drone services is aerial photography and cinematography. You’ll aften see footage from Drones throughout filming, in particular:

  • Establishing shots
  • Following action
  • Identify
  • Getting a camera into otherwise inaccessible places (such as when someone is climbing a rockface or a structure).

For low-level shots, it can be used as a very good alternative to a steady-cam or dolly-work which requires expensive equipment and a skilled operator, and it can enable a smooth and seamless transition to a crane shot and vice-versa.
Being able to fly pre-programmed paths with programmed camera positions allows for repeatability over multiple takes across different days if required.
Our cinematic Drones are multi-operator, allowing for the pilot to position the Drone whilst the camera operator and focus-puller have their own controls for the camera ensuring that the flight can be conducted safely as only the pilot has control over the Drone to satisfy regulatory concerns.

Logistics & Warehouse Management

Drones can provide a powerful alternative to manual processes associated with warehouse management. Our UAVs can efficiently collate data to provide insight and visibility for Inventory Management & Stocktaking, as well as delivering orders and revolutionising the way we shop. There are a number of benefits from using Drones in Warehouse Management:

  • Reduce the potential for human error
  • Reduce inventory costs, as it is fairly common to outsource Warehouse staff or resources for this task, especially during busy periods and the annual stock take.
  • Reduce staff workload as well as the number of staff required
  • Reduce fatigue and improve operator safety
  • Improve safety - it is much safer and cheaper for a drone to collect an item from high racking than an employee and the drone can then fly this onto the next department
  • Improve stock control of products on the shelf and changes to stock.
  • have dual roles, for example Drones could be used for Warehouse Management and security or surveying and repairs
Drone Delivery

Often featuring in sci-fi films as an outrageous concept in the distant future, it may come as a surprise that Drone delivery is already happening all around the globe and has been since around 2013. As Drone technology advances and customer demand increases, many companies are looking to implement a Drone Delivery service to reduce operational costs and meet unprecedented demand.

  • Aerial Drones don’t need to contend with road traffic, speeding up delivery times
  • Better for the environment, as Drones emit far less pollution than traditional delivery vehicles
  • Cheaper than fuelling a fleet of vehicles
  • Drone delivery will revolutionise the way we shop
