Let’s cut through the noise. Drone inspections have come a long way. But here’s the truth: if you’re still handling data flight-by-flight, you’re not managing assets — you’re babysitting fragmented video files. And no one has time for that. Asset managers don’t want to sift through raw data. They want clear, consolidated insight into the […]

AI is revolutionising public safety. From real-time video analysis to geospatial intelligence, advanced technologies are helping police forces do more with less. For UK Police, tools like Reveal Farsight are making operations faster, safer, and more cost-effective. In recent years, AI has moved from tech buzzword to practical tool in policing. Advanced algorithms now analyse […]

The construction industry is undergoing a technological transformation, and drones are at the forefront of this change. Recent UK research, particularly from Imperial College London and the University of Bristol, is exploring how drones can revolutionise construction practices. One of the most promising developments is Aerial Additive Manufacturing (Aerial AM), where drones autonomously deposit materials […]

Drones (unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs) have become indispensable tools in civil engineering, offering aerial access and data collection for many tasks. They are widely used to capture high-resolution imagery and sensor data, enabling precise 3D models, orthomosaic maps, and inspections that inform design, construction, and maintenance. For example, surveying drones equipped with high-res cameras and […]

Routine inspection of wastewater infrastructure – from underground pipes to large tanks and clarifiers – is critical for safety and environmental compliance. Traditionally, utilities have relied on confined-space entry, scaffolding, rafts or sled-mounted cameras, and even complex robotic crawlers to inspect sewers, digesters, and clarifiers. These approaches are time-consuming, costly, and pose serious risks to […]

In the realm of industrial maintenance, inspecting tall stacks and chimneys has traditionally been a challenging and risky endeavour. Conventional methods often involve scaffolding, rope access, and significant downtime, all of which contribute to increased costs and safety concerns. Enter the Flyability Elios 3 drone—a game-changing solution that’s redefining how industries approach these inspections. Enhancing […]

Deutsche Bahn (DB), Germany’s leading railway operator, is undertaking a groundbreaking approach to modernise the Riedbahn rail link between Frankfurt and Mannheim. Recognising the challenges of traditional, piecemeal maintenance methods, DB has opted for a comprehensive five-month closure of the entire 70-kilometre section to execute all necessary renovations simultaneously. Central to this ambitious project is […]

In the realm of environmental monitoring, the detection of methane emissions has traditionally been a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. Conventional methods often involve ground-based inspections or manned aircraft, both of which can be costly, hazardous, and limited in accessibility. Enter drone-based methane detection, a transformative approach that leverages advanced technology to overcome these challenges. The […]

The UK drone industry is entering a new era of safety and regulation. As of April 23, 2025, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has introduced the UK Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) framework, replacing the old Operating Safety Case (OSC) methodology for higher-risk drone missions. This move is more than a bureaucratic change – it’s […]

In the ever-evolving field of geospatial mapping, the quest for accuracy and efficiency remains paramount. A recent independent study conducted by the Department of Special Geodesy at the Czech Technical University in Prague has shed light on the capabilities of modern mobile LiDAR systems, particularly in challenging environments like underground tunnels. The Study at a […]

In the realm of renewable energy, ensuring the integrity of wind turbine blades is paramount. Traditional inspection methods often necessitate halting turbine operations, leading to significant downtime and associated costs. Enter Drone Solution’s innovative approach: utilising UAV-mounted high-resolution cameras to inspect turbine blades while they remain in motion. The Challenge Conventional inspections require turbines to […]

When you’re deploying drones for critical operations — whether that’s public safety, infrastructure inspection, or utility work — every second and every feature counts. That’s why DJI’s latest aircraft, the Matrice 4TD, is turning heads and setting a new benchmark in efficiency, reliability, and intelligent performance. We recently took a deep dive into how it […]
