This eBook by DroneDeploy came out in May 2021. It discusses the benefits of drone technology for inspections and takes a closer look at how drone software transforms facilities and property management inspections. Through drone inspections, decision makers become more strategic: managing more effectively, lowering costs, determining measurable outcomes, optimizing assets, and driving ROI, the authors argue. To start, drone solutions help companies collect an accurate baseline view of their assets. Creating a pavement condition index (PCI) empowers users to see pavement conditions down to the foot-by-foot level. Low-cost drone flights over roofs and walls provide thermal imaging and empowers clients to understand where problem areas are and can often detect leaks or water erosion invisible to the naked eye. More importantly, customers save time for their employees, take preventative action before problems get more costly, and spend millions less on annual maintenance.
