Intelligent Automation

Maximum asset visibility. Minimal human operation.

Automate your inspections to understand the condition of your assets, see changes over time and take action on issues before they become costly outages.

Inspect any asset across every site.

Reducing asset downtime starts with knowing conditions at all times.

Robots are the ideal tool to inspect industrial equipment.

‍They can conduct inspections at a rate and consistency humans can’t – and in harsh, remote and hazardous environments.

But that’s only if robots are properly tasked to hit the right waypoints, inspect the right assets and upload data into the right workflows.

‍Enter DroneDeploy. By displaying and geolocating your captured inspection data on top of your high-resolution maps and 3D models, you get the context you need to keep industrial assets running at their peak.

Automation meets simplicity (and security)

.…but when you’re BVLOS ready, so are we

Enable full automation for multiple flights a day with a remote pilot so you can expand how you use docked drones.

BVLOS not required…

Train your on-site team to become flight observers, freeing your reality capture specialist to set up flights without needing to drive to the site

(your IT team will thank you for)

Preemptive security

The most secure way to capture drone data. With DroneDeploy’s Dock Shield security offering, your data goes directly from the dock to trusted DroneDeploy servers in the U.S. via a secure tunnel.

High accuracy, by default

With DroneDeploy, you get the most consistently accurate data of any drone solution. Built-in RTK provides on-site GPS corrections, so every flight and every map processed is accurate by default.

One-click flight

One click and Dock Automation by DroneDeploy does the rest.

No charging, no batteries, no SD cards, no controllers – and no need to deal with takeoff and landing.

How DroneDeploy improves your inspection workstreams

1 / 5

Your assets are integrated

DroneDeploy creates a visual twin of your physical world by geolocating all of your assets in a 3D view of your environment.

And with inspection data integrated across your operations, each sensor and form factor now becomes a part of a centralized, cloud-based workflow.

2 / 5

Your inspections are scheduled

You select the assets you want inspected and on the schedule you want.

What’s more, you have the ability to create and update these missions remotely – no more heading to the site.

3 / 5

Your missions are automated

Automated missions convert everything into real-world coordinates – including the robot’s position – so you can align inspection data with maps, models and site drawings.

And because your robots will be sent on consistent, repeatable inspection paths, they’ll be able to detect small but crucial changes over time.

4 / 5

Your data is uploaded

All media is automatically uploaded and visualized in your DroneDeploy project, and integrated into your asset management system.

See all media captured of an asset over time from different payload sensors and robot form factors.

5 / 5

Your reports are delivered

Get instant insights based on enriched data from your in-house and machine learning models – things like gauge reading, object detection and safety protocols.

Automated inspections turn reactive downtime into proactive uptime

Manual inspections:

Blow budgets.
Inconsistent manual inspections create costly visibility gaps in high-value assets and dangerous blind spots for your team.

Fragment visibility.
Different inspectors walking each site leads to disjointed data capture, making it difficult for teams to get the context they need to make the right decision.

Spread stale data.
Outdated inspection data on things like steel fatigue, pipeline leaks and seal integrity gives your teams a false picture of an asset’s condition.

Automated inspections:

Minimize downtime (and hazard pay).
‍Flag issues faster, reduce operational downtime and get your people away from assets that are in a dangerous condition.

‍Build out a single source of truth.
With all your data in one place, all stakeholders can make critical decisions based on information they can trust.

‍Broadcast your site’s reality – in real time.
‍Accurate, up-to-date data about the state of your assets keeps you in the know at all times, saving you millions in unplanned downtime.

The biggest industries, down to the smallest detail.

Trusted by industry leaders - everywhere

Transforming asset management in oil and gas

Woodside sends autonomous ground robots to capture RGB, thermal and 360-degree asset imagery, then upload all that geolocated data to their digital twin software so inspectors can review assets remotely.

30% faster solar scanning

A crucial task for solar farms is recording the barcodes and locations of installed panels. Autonomous robot missions provide data on solar panels, helping OnSight detect quality issues and even look at trends across the entire site.

Speeding up a global mining network’s decision making

Drones are the next-gen canary for global mining leader Rio Tinto, who partners with DroneDeploy to inspect critical assets across thousand-acre job sites located in the most remote reaches of the planet.
