The Software

Aeriosense drone automation software eliminates the safety risks and the high costs of performing detailed inspection of electric transmission lines and other elevated infrastructure. Unmanned Aerial Systems can now obtain high quality actionable data while reducing cost by as much as 50% to 90% and increasing inspection speed by over 50% compared to conventional methods.

Aeriosense software platform provides automated flight control, work flow and data management, allowing organizations to integrate drone inspections into their routine condition assessment practices. Asset data is transformed into pre-set flight plans used to automatically guide the drone to the most optimal vantage points, while the inspector is free to focus on inspection without being a professional pilot.
