Top 20 Drone Technology Solution Companies
CIO Review
Unleashing new innovative possibilities in the field of remote sensing, drones are addressing the questions of spatial data. By offering a game-changing feature of mapping, drones provide real-time data of industries they are put to use. Aerial imagery using drones can be of great help in gathering data from a different angle to better understand the operational picture and enhance decision-making process creating a secure environment. These unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are rapidly revolutionizing methods of data acquisition and unveil new avenues of scientific research and environmental monitoring.
The data captured from these aerial imagery devices, be it images or videos, can then be used to mitigate risks. For instance, there is a parade or a football game going on, a drone can capture the entire event and live stream it to the command center for securing it effectively. Importantly, the data is instantly and securely transferred to command center without getting stored anywhere maintaining complete security. Numerous industries such as agriculture, construction, insurance, mining, telecommunications and public safety can benefit from the drone technology.
In order to assist enterprises in identifying the Drone Technology solution most suitable for optimizing their business, a team of prominent CIOs, CEOs, and analysts along with CIOReview’s editorial board has analyzed the strengths and capabilities of the top contenders in this field. This edition of CIOReview features companies with in-depth expertise in providing cutting-edge Drone Technology solutions that help consumers tackle the challenges involved in consumption and management of energy.
