BENEFITS:

Safer – Inspecting with drones is far safer than sending people out to do it, especially when heights and possibly weakened structures are involved.

Faster – Aerial inspections with drones are typically carried out in fewer hours or days than previous methods.

Cost-Effective – Time is money. Some inspections typically require days or weeks to conduct and can call on multiple crafts, depending on the job. Drone technology provides a cost effective solution.
