Drone Applications
Drones raise the bar when it comes to innovative approaches to ongoing issues: Facility inspection, aerial mapping, security patrolling, traffic monitoring, delivery, you name it, a drone can do it. Smartworld maximizes drone capabilities by advanced drone applications. Our drone solutions can be combined with state-of-the-art analytics to produce a multitude of valuable outcomes. We also offer drone traffic management tools that allow organizations to better manage their drone fleet.
Inspection:
Any facility, process, site, or structure that requires inspection is a prime candidate for a drone solution. Drones efficiently collect up-to-date data at regular intervals with minimal cost and disruption to operations. Sensor technology enables operators to collect high-quality precision data from LiDAR and other camera sensors. Furthermore, data obtained from hard-to-reach or inaccessible areas can be processed immediately on-site or at the office and shared with stakeholders. Drones can dramatically reduce costs, competing or replacing inspection regimes that would typically require significant manpower and planning to execute. Structures that are dangerous and hard to access without additional equipment are effectively examined using high-definition zoom and thermal cameras.
Mapping:
Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or UAVs, excel at rapidly acquiring data from vantage points inaccessible to humans. Drone-based mapping and surveying solutions are performed with downward-facing sensors, such as RGB or multispectral cameras and LIDAR payloads. They are invaluable to industries such as Oil & Gas, Utilities, Agriculture, and Construction. One drone flight produces thousands of measurements, presented in different formats (orthomosaic, point cloud, contour lines, etc.). Each pixel of the rendered map or point of the 3D model contains 3D geo-data, with actionable topographic data. Thermal imaging can quickly identify abnormal heat signatures. In construction and project management, drone surveying can provide critical data that supports Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Surveillance:
Smartworld can fit drones for low-decibel surveillance, edge analytics, infrared cameras for night vision, thermal imaging, and many other ‘eye ion the sky’ requirements. Drones can cover large areas in brief periods, with predetermined flight patterns, and return to home endpoints. Periodic patrols can be assigned using predetermined waypoints on the dashboard interface. Smartworld drones can be equipped with special payloads for delivery or annunciators for relaying instructions. We offer drone stations that are independent units used to recharge and redeploy the drones automatically. In short, Smartworld can replicate any ground-based surveillance technique in the sky.
Live Streaming:
With advanced battery power, drones can remain airborne for extended periods, even with moderate wind and lighting changes. This adds a measure of practicality to event live streaming and broadcasting. Drones equipped with live-streaming systems, transmitting via 5G networks, can output remote ID signals via a satellite and advanced router technology. Smartworld delivers a safer beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) experience with risk mitigation and high-speed networking connectivity, supported by remote tower capabilities for drone tracking.
