Tracks: Infrastructure, Inspection

Accessible aerial imagery and videos have transformed industries from real estate to energy to insurance to construction. But the use cases of drones expand beyond just the camera and into an array of advanced sensors including thermal and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). Today, neither are scalable since asingle thermal drone flight today is a $25,000 investment. Just as the democratization of drones and more pilots opened the door for affordable and scalable commercial drone flights, the thermal drone flights of tomorrow will expand use cases and make drones a regular mix of the decision making process. In this session, Dan Burton, CEO and Founder of DroneBase, will provide examples of how advanced sensors will impact energy and infrastructure inspection. The opportunities are limitless.
