Industries We Serve

Oil and Gas

    •    Pipeline and refinery inspections, focusing on leak detection and corrosion via thermal and visual data.

    •    Flare stack and offshore platform monitoring, with NightSense enabling operations in low-light or remote areas.

    •    Environmental compliance audits, mapping spill risks and vegetation around infrastructure.

Construction and Infrastructure

    •    High-precision site surveying and topographic mapping, generating centimeter-accurate 2D orthomosaics and 3D models for planning and earthwork calculations using Pix4D and RTK-enhanced data.

    •    Progress tracking and volume measurements (e.g., stockpiles, excavations) through repeated flights, with AI analysis in Optelos to detect changes and anomalies.

    •    Structural inspections, including crack detection (down to 0.1 mm resolution) and thermal scans for heat loss or moisture issues.

    •    Safety compliance audits, such as identifying hazards on active sites via autonomous flights and digital twin visualizations.

Agriculture and Precision Farming

    •    Crop health monitoring through multispectral and thermal imaging to assess vegetation indices, irrigation efficiency, and stress factors.

    •    Precision mapping for field boundaries, yield estimation, and variable-rate application planning, with RTK accuracy ensuring reliable geofencing and data overlay.

    •    Pest and disease detection using AI models in Optelos to analyze imagery for early intervention.

    •    Livestock tracking and environmental assessments, including water source inspections, enhanced by night operations for minimal disturbance.

Energy and Utilities

    •    Power line, substation, and wind turbine inspections, identifying faults like broken insulators or overheating components via thermal radiometry (<30 mK sensitivity) and AI-automated defect detection.

    •    Pipeline and grid monitoring for leaks, corrosion, or vegetation encroachment, with 3D reconstructions for maintenance planning.
