Deliverables
Data collected with drones can be processed into a digital twin of any asset. This digital twin provides asset owners with a three-dimensional geometrically and geospatially accurate model that transforms the ways assets are managed. These models can be annotated and tagged with inventory and inspection information that can be stored and shared locally or on cloud-based asset management platforms. The data can be exported and used in a wide variety of CAD and GIS platforms.
