Skylogic Research, the leading commercial drone industry research and advisory services firm, just announced the release of their latest research on commercial drone operations. The Economics of Using Drones for BVLOS Inspections is a white paper sponsored by PrecisionHawk, the leading provider of drone technology for the enterprise, which provides a foundation for businesses to evaluate when it’s best to use traditional ground and manned aviation, line of sight drones, or BVLOS (for “beyond visual line of site”) drone inspection approaches. It’s designed as a comprehensive primer of drone inspections in specific industries.
The paper answers questions like:
- What’s the best way to enable an effective drone strategy?
- What are the economic benefits of operating drones?
- What are the costs, benefits, and risks of using drones for BVLOS operations?
- How does that compare with traditional inspection methods?
As the commercial drone industry continues to evolve, widespread BVLOS drone inspection has the potential to significantly change business models for oil and gas, utilities, insurance, and other industries. Representatives we spoke with in those industries point to four main drivers motivating them to explore BVLOS operations:
- Safety
- Costs
- Data inconsistency
- Time to value
The 21-page report also provides a guide for when—and how—to deploy drones to inspect assets, use cases for how drone missions compare with traditional methods, and insight from PrecisionHawk’s customers about how they’re refining their inspection strategy—and their results.
