How Can CIOs Use Drones in a Construction Startup?

Won’t it be great if a single device could cost-effectively multi-task and save hours spent by the CIOs and employees to carry out mundane operations?

FREMONT, CA: When it comes to periodic inspections, job site progress monitoring, and employee safety, CIOs and safety coordinators already have abundant work on their hands. Apart from these, they also tend to focus on delivering the products on-time cost-effectively. 

To the rescue of CIOs in a startup, drones are being introduced in the field of construction. It is solely because the commercial drones track and examine a location much faster than a human. Drones can accurately observe the site, more precisely than a human and the rising growth of it has encouraged the construction professionals to inspect their location with the tech now. The most crucial aspect of any startup is to utilize their time productively. Drones not only save time and examine better but also have several benefits in the construction world that a CIO can leverage.

Mapping Accuracy:

The traditional methods of mapping and surveying, along with collecting and processing the data, take a lot of time and also require human labor. But the introduction of drones having abilities to capture high-resolution photos and videos performs the job quickly and at a much lower expense than any traditional method. Drones are built with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor, which can complete the same task in nearly 60 to 70 percent lesser time. Furthermore, the technology helps in surveying locations at difficult or risky places and eliminates the need to send a human to do the same task. The LiDAR performs by broadcasting laser beams and measuring the reflection that bounces back, and since the drone is an aerial device, topography does not become an issue to navigate. With drones, mapping has become much more comfortable as a collection of data has become available in 3D modeling and analysis.

Life is Precious:

The construction sector has a severe issue of yielding lower productivity consistently, partially because the industry has lagged behind in adopting the new technologies rapidly like others.
