Energy, Inspection
The use of UAS in the energy and oil & gas sectors are pushing the boundaries of traditional inspection methods that require extensive labor, time and resources. Drones increase efficiency, reduce costs and provide increasingly more precise data that improves safety, detects and mitigate hazardous risks, and reduces environmental impact. Today, innovation though cloud platforms, ultra-high spatial resolution aerial imagery, AI and machine learning, predictive analytics and big data are opening up new opportunities and accelerating time to value while removing barriers to adoption. In this session attendees will learn how the use of drones and advanced data analytics are helping Hanging H, a pipeline construction company detect and address possible vulnerabilities before they become safety hazards. Additionally, they’ll cover common challenges, share tips for overcoming them, and provide best practices for developing a successful UAS program built for scale.
