E ERGYTech ReviewThe term "Drone" is no longer synonymous with "futuristic." The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulation for drones has opened the door for large-scale, licensed commercial drone work at lower upfront costs of equipment and the efficiencies across various sectors. That being said, drone programs now offer an improved analysis of data to inform business decisions by providing a practical solution for day-to-day challenges businesses face in industries such as power transmission and distribution (T&D), wind, and solar. Most importantly, the technology supports efforts to avoid hazardous manual tasks.These factors act as catalysts for the adoption of drones in the global energy sector. UAV tech for instance, with functions such as real-time drone mapping, gathering of data for any map, model, or analysis, robust processing capabilities, providing the users with powerful cloud photogrammetry, and more is creating waves across the space. More reasons for stakeholders to side with the technology?Not only does it improve site operations but also allows overseeing each project completion through all the phases by conducting aerial surveys, efficient identification of any risk, and monitoring of assets across production facilities and pipelines. Drone specific platforms with the capability to appeal to diverse users are also providing flexibility in terms of export formats, volume calculation, and accuracy in dealing with large amounts of data.As the technology in the space continues to evolve, it can be challenging companies to keep up with the changes and adapt.
