Let’s Talk About DJI Drones for Surveying and Mapping
Have you ever sighed at the thought of surveying a large parcel of land? In the past, that is usually where drones come into the picture. Drones are just perfect for surveying and mapping— they fly over large areas in minutes to hours, they take pictures or videos from different angles, they keep you from having to traverse the dangerous terrain.
As surveying drones become more and more common with each passing day, let’s ask the question: how important are drones in your surveying and mapping operation?
DJI Zenmuse L1; LiDAR Survey Made Easy
For a multitude of reasons, DJI’s first Livox LiDAR payload — the Zenmuse L1, is gaining a lot of traction among drone professionals. First of all, the DJI Zenmuse L1 incorporates the powers of both laser and visible light; this payload can simultaneously capture both LiDAR and Photogrammetry data. L1 is well known for capturing ‘accuracy’ by integrating a Livox LiDAR module, a high-accuracy IMU, a survey-grade camera, and additionally, it comes with a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. Well, not just that, there is a lot more to explore on this unparalleled player in the Drone-based solutions!
Applications of Drones in the Energy Sector
Drones seem to be everywhere— inspecting telecom towers, surveying land, assessing power lines, inspecting solar power plants, and more. But, why are drones so prevalent? The answer would be ‘why should we compromise our Time, Money, and Energy, on less accurate and inefficient data when there is an unparalleled alternative that does the job way better?’ Yes, it is as simple as that!
Why You Should Consider Drone Powerline Inspections?
While integrating a new system into current workflows may seem like a headache right now, the benefits quickly make up the difference and then some more. For example, the traditional inspection methods are time-consuming, expensive, and out-of-date. Read more on the downsides of traditional powerline inspections here. In this article, we’ll be exploring the Drone Powerline Inspections – why drones are the superior choice.
DJI M30 Series: The New Compact and Powerful!
DJI, the world’s leading manufacturer of drones, has just announced a brand new commercial drone – the DJI M30 Series. This is a significant release for DJI as it represents their first foray into the realm of large-scale drones. The M30 Series are packed with features and promises to be a game-changer for those in the commercial drone industry. In this blog post, we will explore some of the key features and changes that make the M30 Series so special.
Confessions of a Drone Professional: Why We Love the M300 RTK
There is no doubt that DJI’s Matrice 300 RTK has set a new standard for the commercial drone industry. With its array of purposeful and powerful features combined with a robust build, you’d be hard-pressed to find better. However, this isn’t an article where we discuss the features of the M300 RTK — there are plenty of those already; in this article, we will be discussing why the pilots at FEDS-drone Powered Solutions love working with this powerful drone system.
Making Drone Solutions More Accessible Through Sigma Expertise
Drone technology is ramping up to support applications across the middle east; a sector that significantly benefits from drones is the surveying field. The Drone Centre is now partnered with Sigma Enterprises to serve our customers better.
The Future of Fire and Safety with Drones
Firefighters have long braved hair-raising and dangerous situations, combating fires and saving lives. But, while this has been the norm for years— it no longer has to be with drones. The idea of rushing into unknown hazards and danger is what drones are here to change and improve fire and safety.
Emlid Reach RS2 GNSS Receiver – Too Good to Be True? Interview with a Professional Surveyor & GNSS Expert
GNSS receivers are one of the most vital tools at a surveyor’s disposal. They speed up surveys and provide much-needed accuracy to the data. So as a firm that conducts many surveys, we can never really have enough GNSS receivers, but this posed a challenge— most industry-leading GNSS receivers are pretty expensive. The price of these receivers can be rationalized, they do provide accuracy up to the mm, but when you’re doing land parcel surveys, earthwork etc., you don’t really need this high accuracy. To address this, the minds at Emlid came out with the Emlid Reach RS2, a multi-band RTK GNSS receiver.
Emergency Response Drones: Saving Lives, Improving Response Times
In an urgent response situation, the team and authorities are working against the clock. Traveling to the incident site, establishing situational awareness, and requesting additional resources all take time- precious time that can save lives. While traditional teams have to deal with road conditions, distance, and longer deployment times, drones do not. Emergency Response Drones are life savers. Emergency response teams are now leveraging drones to save lives, improve response times and optimize resource allocation.
