Exploring Drone Use in Construction and Agriculture Industries
Drone Industry Insights
The primary source for global market intelligence for commercial drones, urban air mobility, and electric aviation.
When we talk about drone use for Construction, there is a lot that they could actually be doing, such as, for example: drones can carry out aerial imagery for site planning, management, and communication (photography & filming method); they can also survey construction sites and produce topographic surveys or 3D reconstruction of slopes (mapping & surveying method); and we also often see the use of drones for monitoring construction sites to avoid illegal trespassing or thefts of site assets or supplies (localization & tracking method).
Similarly, for drones in Agriculture, they could identify/locate dead, hurt, or sick animals (inspection method in the animal production sub-vertical), or spray crops with pesticides or insecticides (dispensing & spraying method in the crop production sub-vertical), or carry out forest inventory and count trees along with their size (mapping & surveying method in the forestry sub-vertical).
There are of course several other drone application examples in various industries. For example, the Inspection method is most common in Energy, Transportation, and in Mining, among others. Alternatively, looking at the various methods described, we could derive that in the Agriculture industry, the use of drones is often for Spraying & Dispensing, Mapping & Surveying, and sometimes Localization & Tracking.

1 年"...count trees along with their size" is not only reserved for "mapping & surveying method[s] in the forestry sub-vertical[s]" but important for perennial food crops too, such as vines, trees, and bushes. Raisins, Nuts, Berries. Important crops for a growing population, arguably even more so compared to fresh fruit which in many cases comes with a shorter shelf-life. Thanks for the share, but I would have like to see more substance to the info in your article Drone Industry Insights. Like mention of beneficial insect use, distributed by drone, only the usual mention of spraying chemicals. More detail in terms of stats and metrics mapping provides, etc.

1 年What an amazing environmentally safe use of drones improving our environment from what we did before.
