Service Providers
Drone service providers cater to a wide range of industries, including agriculture, real estate, geospatial analysis, energy utilities, and oil & gas. Lightweight, autonomous mapping drones offer a user-friendly solution for independent operators entering the market while also scaling to meet the demands of larger enterprises. These drones deliver highly accurate datasets, helping businesses reduce costs, enhance client relationships, and drive growth opportunities.
How are drones used by service providers?
· Surveying ‒ Site progress tracking in construction, volume measurements in mining.
· Aerial photography ‒ Real estate sales and building, media field assignments.
· Utility infrastructure inspection ‒ Thermal imaging for construction, energy and security.
· Residential ‒ Roofing and estate appraisals, insurance claims and inspections.
· Precision agriculture ‒ Crop health monitoring, population counts, pest & disease identification.
· Emergency response ‒ Site reconstruction, documentation, search and rescue.
What are the benefits of drones for service providers?
Reduced flight times – Drones excel in efficiency, requiring fewer flights and reducing overall operational time.
Increased project capacity – By saving time on each mission, drones enable teams to take on more mapping projects in a given timeframe. Replacing slower quadcopters with drones has been shown to double project output, especially for larger-scale operations.
Enhanced mission and flight safety – Remote aerial data collection keeps surveyors out of harm’s way at construction sites, roadways, and other hazardous environments. The lightweight, intelligent design of Skypath’s drones, paired with the flight planner, ensures robust safety during operations. These drones are optimized for advanced missions, including Operations Over People (OOP) and BVLOS flights, providing a safer and more efficient alternative to heavier platforms.
Simplified maintenance and upgrades – Skypath’s modular drone design allows users to quickly swap sensors, perform repairs, and conduct regular servicing without hassle. With readily available parts, downtime is minimized, offering a more streamlined alternative to many VTOL systems.
Optimized mobility – Designed for portability, Skypath’s drones are among the lightest professional-grade platforms available.
What types of drone data outputs can you expect?
The data output depends on your sensor and processing software, as dictated by your data requirements, which in turn determines the drone you will need to carry the payload with sufficient flight time. Typical drone data outputs you can expect include:
Orthomosaic raster ‒ A large image comprised of adjoining orthorectified images that have been digitally reconstructed. Orthomosaic maps are helpful to service providers for monitoring site activity and measuring distances between points.
3D point cloud ‒ Point cloud maps comprise millions of individual points featuring X, Y and Z geospatial coordinates and an RGB value. Surveyors in construction use them to calculate complex stockpile volumes and automate cut/fill analysis.
Digital Surface Model (DSM) ‒ 3D display of an area that includes the tops of buildings, trees and other ground-based objects. Detailed models captured by drone are valuable for tracking earthworks, water flow, or flooding across terrain and measuring excavation depths.
Digital Terrain Model (DTM) ‒ 3D display of vector data that features natural terrain and regularly spaced points. DTMs can be used in planning new construction developments or monitoring changes to the landscape for land management.
3D textured mesh ‒ Realistic reproduction of an area using photogrammetry mapped to edges, faces, vertices and texture. 3D models are helpful in planning and inspections or in large construction projects when data needs to be widely shared with numerous corporate and public stakeholders.
Contour lines ‒ Topographic map that delineates surface elevation using contour lines. The construction industry benefits from these contour line outputs for grade and slope monitoring.
Cadastre maps ‒ 2D property maps. Updated cadastral maps of entire townships and cities help determine where easements are located, utilities and other features adjacent to a work site.
