DroneDeploy

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted DroneDeploy a nationwide waiver for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations, allowing the company to oversee large-scale construction projects remotely. Expectedly, the use of autonomous drones for monitoring critical infrastructure across the US can go up significantly.

Reality capture and drone data management specialist DroneDeploy has introduced Safety AI, a new tool designed to automatically identify safety risks on construction sites. This innovative solution, which uses proprietary artificial intelligence and models from Google and OpenAI, aims to help contractors meet OSHA standards more effectively.

Amid an AI-driven digital transformation, the construction of data centers is reaching unprecedented heights. To keep up with the surging demand for computing power, drones are now playing a crucial role in monitoring these developments, thanks to a partnership between DroneDeploy and GLOBHE.

Reality capture and drone data management specialist DroneDeploy has released a new security product to enhance the security of DJI Dock and Dock 2 automated drone nests.

Drone management specialist DroneDeploy has announced open beta support for the DJI Dock drone-in-a-box solution. Meaning, you’ll now be able to plan and execute your DJI Dock flights directly in the DroneDeploy platform.

Reality capture and drone data management specialist DroneDeploy is giving users a sneak peek into its upcoming January 2024 product update.

Reality capture specialist DroneDeploy and autonomous drone dock operations powerhouse FlytBase are joining forces to bring the best of both platforms to customers. FlytBase users now have a way to automatically load captured drone data into DroneDeploy to generate highly accurate 3D maps.

DroneDeploy customers flying their DJI drones at large sites, or in remote areas, can now create high-accuracy maps without relying on Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) connectivity. The drone management company has launched a new unified reality capture platform, following the acquisition of StructionSite, and it comes with support for drag-and-drop Post Processed Kinematic (PPK) functionality for all DJI RTK-equipped drones.

The DroneDeploy Flight app for the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise has received a fresh update to enable autonomous RTK flights for DJI’s newest flagship enterprise drone.

Flight planning platform DroneDeploy now supports autonomous mapping missions on the new DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise (Mavic 3E) drone, using the RC Pro Enterprise remote controller.

Drone mapping platform DroneDeploy is joining forces with interior reality capture specialist StructionSite to accelerate automation in the construction and energy industries.

Editor’s note: DJI Air 2S drone compatibility is now available for both Paid and Trial accounts in DroneDeploy.

You can use DroneDeploy’s iOS mobile app to create maps, 3D models, panoramas, and more autonomously with the DJI Air 2S drone.

So, you use DroneDeploy to visualize and analyze your Skydio drone data? You can now upload imagery captured on any Skydio drone directly to the DroneDeploy cloud platform without ever touching your SD card!

Flight automation software DroneDeploy has added support for DJI Mavic Air 2. This means you can now undertake commercial tasks such as inspecting facades and rooftops or mapping small sites completely autonomously with a small, affordable $799 drone.

Drones and ground-based robots are starting to work together. When it comes to enterprise work, particularly industrial inspections and surveillance, you just can’t beat the combination when it comes to some applications. And so it’s both not surprising and pretty forward-thinking that DroneDeploy has acquired New Zealand-based robotic software company Rocos.

So we had a realization the other day: We’d never tried out DroneDeploy software. And while we had a basic understanding of what it can do, we wanted to learn more. So we had a one-hour briefing with the company. And we’ll share with you what we learned.

Big news from drone enterprise data company DroneDeploy: It’s raised another $50 million in capital that it will use to accelerate its development “beyond drones.” The news came in a release, which we’ll get to in a sec.

During the DroneDeploy conference, remote pilot Gareth Pickford from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife shared how drones were used to assess the damage caused by the devastating bushfires, known as the Black Summer, earlier this year in Australia.

DroneDeploy, the drone software company out of Silicon Valley, will soon be opening up shop in Australia. The company will help the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority monitor the deteriorating ocean habitat.
