Aerodyne Group
Aerodyne is a provider of drone based technologies for industrial and commercial application which was founded in 2014 in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.[1] The company adopts UAV technology and data analytics to carry out survey, aerial mapping, precision agriculture, inspection, surveillance and project monitoring[2] by using drones, replacing the traditional methods using helicopter, manual manpower and so on. This method also includes the use of technologies such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and automation to manage and process data from the visuals captured by the drones and turned into actionable data.[3]
Company timeline
2014: Aerodyne incorporated as a media company
2014 – 2015: The company deployed its DJI Matrice 100[4] and used thermal sensors to capture videos of the 2014-2015 Malaysia flood in Kelantan and Terengganu[2] to provide damage assessment and post-flood analysis.
2018: Aerodyne goes into R&D studies with an Australian NGO to develop autonomous drone & sensor systems on farms.[5]
UAV Applications
Main article: Aerial Vehicle Applications
There are numerous civilian and commercial applications for UAVs.
These include:
Civil
Disaster relief, archeology, conservation (pollution monitoring and antipoaching), law enforcement, crime, and terrorism.
Commercial
Aerial surveillance, filmmaking, journalism, scientific research, surveying, cargo transport, and agriculture.
Aerial mapping or aerial survey is a method used to collect visual data by using airplanes, UAV, or other aerial methods. Drone operators usually use photogrammetric technologies to measure these images.
Drone-powered solutions are becoming more and more in demand nowadays as the pressure to shift to cleaner energy and to cut cost is forcing enterprises to stay competitive.[6] On top of that, safety concerns are also crucial to enterprises, for example risks of exposure to heights, dangerous atmospheres, high gas pressure, and also unhygienic areas like sludge. With DPS, not only can drones capture visual data way more efficiently than human, but the risk of human lives could be minimized and mitigated.[7]
Other applications of drones in the future seem to be greater. For example, the current applications using technology such as thermal imaging cameras and multispectral image cameras could be combined with Machine learning and artificial intelligence. The result would provide even greater efficiency and features to inspections and maintenance of critical infrastructure.[7]
