DroneDeploy announced a major expansion across its products, making it a single platform for all drone operations. The launch includes automated fleet management, enhanced workflow integrations, a low-altitude inspection mode, and advanced analytic capabilities.
“Today’s product launch is a reflection of the demand from our customers for a complete enterprise-grade drone operating system,” said DroneDeploy Chief Executive and Co-founder Mike Winn. “We have customers with fleets of 100+ drones looking for a single enterprise platform for their entire drone program, and we believe this launch will reshape how they manage their drone operations and data.”
DroneDeploy’s new product release includes:
- Drone Operations Management. Record all flight activity automatically, in one platform, providing full visibility of entire drone program, including highlighted flight settings, maximum altitude and speed.
- Workflow Integrations. Sync DroneDeploy with preferred document storage or project management applications, including Autodesk, Procore, Bluebeam, Plangrid, and OneDrive.
- Inspection with Manual Flight. Fly in manual mode, allowing the flexibility to explore however you wish, including low-altitude inspections and custom photos and videos.
- Drone Academy. A comprehensive training program focused on teaching the basics of drone operations while offering insight into the business impact of drones.
- Earthworks. With advanced cut & fill capabilities and new 3D analytics, customers can quantify the amount of earth moved in a matter of hours, helping to avoid delays and cost overruns.
“With DroneDeploy’s Earthworks capabilities, I have the confidence I am providing my engineers with accurate information in surveying, tracking progress, and verifying contractor work,” said Greg Oetker, an inspector at Jones Carter. “I am able to use a map and model to help visualize the site, which makes planning more efficient and accurate. This new way of surveying has saved us hours of time each time we go out and capture data.”
