Mining companies use Draganfly drones and photogrammetric sensors to conduct volumetric measurements and track inventory.
Oil and Gas companies use Draganfly drones to inspect infrastructure, locate damaged or fatigued components, conduct environmental impact studies, and leverage multispectral sensors to measure foliage encroachments near infrastructure.
Draganfly drones are able to aerially assess sites and vegetation for installation or power plants and send back data analysis in real-time to production engineers. They can also inspect equipment, such as highly pressurized offshore rigs.
Draganlfy dones are also being used for validation of installations, security assessments, monitoring of resources, and monitoring of workers. They are also deployed to assess the full reach of power outages, during a catastrophic event.
Electric and Renewable Energy companies use Draganfly drones to perform infrastructure inspections required for preventative maintenance, minimizing man-hours and downtime while improving safety.
The mining industry operates through a sequence of stages: exploration, discovery, development, production and reclamation. Mineral samples are able to be transported for quality testing within minutes, saving time and reducing cost. Additionally Draganfly’s delivery drone is able to fly a multiple array of sensors capturing vital data during the five phases of mine development.
Pilots can gain quick access to turbines and capture high-pixel quality images, allowing users to inspect the state of the blades. 3D images can be generated so that engineers and operators can get a better view of damages, erosion, or cracks without the need to temporarily turn the turbine off. Advanced analytics can provide accurate and real-time results about changes or repairs that need to be made.
Sophisticated drone software can help find the best spots for solar panel placement. Algorithms determine solar panel placement and factor in dozens of considerations that engineers would not. In addition, thermal and infrared imagery cameras allow drones to assess the productivity of solar panels.
The flexibility of supply and inventory cost savings can be achieved through the use Draganfly delivery drones, enabling vital components to be delivered from centralized stocks within minutes to maintain uninterrupted production.
The use of a drone allows for a quicker delivery time of these parts to the field, saving time and dramatically reducing the cost of equipment downtime.
Draganfly's UAVs can be deployed quickly and easily to transport critical supplies, equipment, and samples between offshore rigs and onshore facilities, without the need for costly and time-consuming manned missions. Drones can navigate challenging offshore environments with ease, delivering payloads safely and efficiently, even in adverse weather conditions.
Draganfly’s Extreme Terrain delivery allows for easy, seamless transport of essential equipment into hard-to-reach areas.
Fly in highly energized, GPS denied and obstacle-rich environments to inspect transmission, substation, and distribution networks. Draganfly Mapping systems allow for quick and complete acquisition of data while eliminating manned airborne or on-the-ground logistics.
Demand for drone hardware and services has never been greater. From emergency medical deliveries to agricultural management; community, government, and corporate drone usage is expected to see enormous growth up to and beyond 2028.
