Navigating the complexities of raw drone data without an effective management solution can make it difficult to use the information effectively. This often leads to imprecise reporting, indecisive actions, and, ultimately, sub-optimal maintenance efforts. Building upon the groundwork laid by Inspector 4, Inspector 5’s Asset Management Extension enhances asset management by integrating data from numerous […]

Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are aircraft either controlled by pilots from the ground or autonomously following a pre-planned flight path. Unlike fixed CCTV security systems, drones provide dynamic surveillance capabilities, outpacing ground patrol land coverage by up to 86%. Security drones can carry multiple sensors, such as thermal, night vision, and zoom, to highlight […]

Drones in education have created new learning opportunities among high school and university students to create interactive experiences within STEM learning. Through hands-on activities in coding, robotics, and aviation, drones offer a practical learning experience. Students can learn to program drones and participate in projects like 3D mapping and LiDAR. Why are drones used in […]

The UK’s first drone superhighway, developed by Altitude Angel, is set to open this summer, creating a 165-mile network between Coventry and Milton Keynes. This innovative project, part of a significant investment in aerospace, aims to enhance emergency response, organ transportation, and efficient surveying through a system of 30 Arrow Towers for drone control. However, […]

Surveying and construction professionals have more advanced tools at their disposal than ever before, with drones revolutionising data collection across the industry. Two of the most powerful methods used today are photogrammetry and LiDAR, each offering unique advantages depending on the application. But how do you decide which one is best for your projects? Let’s […]

In the realm of public safety operations, deploying drones equipped with advanced capabilities can significantly enhance situational awareness and response effectiveness. DJI‘s Matrice 30 Series and Matrice 4 Series are two prominent offerings tailored for such demanding applications. This article provides a comparative analysis of these two drone series, focusing on their specifications and suitability […]

In the realm of asset integrity and inspection, the advent of drone technology has revolutionised traditional methodologies, offering unprecedented efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Industries such as oil and gas, maritime, power generation, and infrastructure are increasingly integrating drones into their inspection protocols to enhance operational performance. The Transformative Impact of Drones on Inspections Drones, equipped […]

A groundbreaking initiative in the South West of England is demonstrating how drones can transform the way we restore natural habitats. In an ambitious project led by the The Woodland Trust, drones have been deployed to scatter 75,000 tree seeds across previously inaccessible terrain—marking a major step forward in reforestation efforts. Why Drones? Traditional tree […]

The anticipated DJI Dock 2 has launched, promising a design that is both lighter and more powerful than before. This year has seen significant advances in autonomous flying technology. Plans from the government show that by 2027, the UK plans to widely use Beyond Visual Line of Sight for drone operations. Drone docks or drone […]

In industrial settings, piperacks serve as vital conduits, supporting and organising pipelines that transport essential materials across facilities. Ensuring their structural integrity is crucial, yet traditional inspection methods—such as deploying cherry pickers, scaffolding, or rope access—pose significant safety risks and often entail substantial costs. TURNER SPECIALTY SERVICES, L.L.C., a division of Turner Industries Group renowned […]
