Although drones are hardly new to the power industry in our country, power lines stringing is a fairly new application, one that offers substantial savings in terms of time and money. This could change the way power companies work permanently. Matt Dunlevy founded SkyScopes as a spinoff while teaching a class at the business college …

Drones can cover a large area of space in a very short period of time, using aerial thermography to find people can potentially save lives. Thermography is the use of thermograms (images of radiation) to study and measure the heat (thermo) distribution in structures, regions, or bodies. An example of this would be detecting tumors …
According to research carried out by scientists at the University of Aberdeen, the use of aerial drones monitoring oil and gas pipelines can bring significant benefits to operators. Traditionally, inspecting and monitoring are carried out on foot or by helicopter, so it is clear to scientists that using drones makes total sense. Because pipeline networks …

Just as drones are increasingly impacting our everyday lives, the maritime industry is no exception. In fact, it is estimated that drones like so many other inventions will revolutionize the maritime shipping industry for many years to come. Although drones were developed for government and military operations initially, over the next half a decade its …
Utility Industry: Few, if any other industry, have benefited more from drone technology than utilities, and one of the most important reasons is that, because so much of its work is hazardous, drones have minimized much of that danger. Another important reason why public utilities have gained significantly by adopting drones is the sheer amount …

Drones come in all shapes and sizes and don’t just cruise in the air! Many people are totally ignorant of submersible or underwater drones. But drone technologies are hardly limited to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Although submersible drone business ideas have been available for a considerable time, it is only until recently that underwater drones …

The advent of technology and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with drone development, thermal imaging, methane gas detection, has been the major factor that convinced the oil and natural gas industries to adopt drones. With the addition of specific electromagnetic sensors, drones are being used to gather geological information to help geophysicists identify, and …

History shows us how technology has changed the nature of work and the technological strides in the drone sector has been nothing less than impressive. It is hard to argue against the claim that drones are becoming ubiquitous. Like so many other industries, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are transforming the mining industry. Let’s discuss how …
Although commercial drones have been in use for more than 30 years when they were used to spray pesticides on rice fields in Japan as a solution to expensive helicopters, telecommunications has been slow in using drones. In fact, it is one of the more recent industries being impacted by UAVs. Yet anyone knowledgeable about …
