Drones or UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) have been popular for their application in the
military. But you will be surprised to know that they now have over a hundred commercial
applications from photography and delivery to security and disaster relief. The drone
technology does not only replace costly methods efficiently but also reduces the need for
human efforts on dangerous sites. That is why it has come to be a critical element in different industries.

In this article, we talk about five commercial spaces where the UAS technology has been
adopted and is being increasingly used. Let’s get started.

  1. Shipping and Delivery
    Drones are like pilotless aircraft that can deliver food, goods, and other packages to a specific location. Several drones can be controlled remotely by a single operator, which means the delivery of all packages can be tracked accurately. Companies like DHL, FedEx, Amazon, etc. are among the top 10 companies by revenue that use drone delivery because of benefits, such as:
     Reduction in road congestion due to the reduction in the usage of vans or delivery
    vehicles
     Reduction in carbon emission, thus environmental pollution
     Reduction of delivery durations
     Reduction of transportation costs
  2. Construction
    The use of drones in commercial construction is becoming more widespread every year.
    Unmanned Aerial Systems offer reliable, high-quality information, which makes them a great tool for decision-making in construction. For example, UAV aerial inspection helps get accurate 2D/3D models of the site before, during, and after the construction for a better understanding of the site plans. This can help in getting accurate project estimates and efficient progress monitoring from ground level. Moreover, the drone can go into places humans can’t, which can help in the early detection of defects, flaws, and potential problems.
  3. Precision Agriculture

According to Bank of America, agriculture is projected to make up to almost 80% of the entire commercial drone market by the year 2025, with the potential to generate $82 billion worth of economic activity. Using drone technology is a cheap and effective way for farmers and agriculturists to regularly monitor their crops. The infrared sensors in drones can detect the health of the crop and enable farmers to better regulate the input of insecticides or fertilizer.

The improved management and regular inspection of the crop then lead to a better yield of the crops.

  1. Energy
    The use of drones in tower and power line inspection has several benefits, such as improved safety, reduced risk, and money-saving. It provides insight into power line assets, ensuring their continuous inspection and longevity. In solar farms, drones can be used to detect abnormalities, making it easy to rectify problems early on.
  2. Telecommunications
    Drone tower inspection is used to capture high-resolution imagery, which is then used to create a digital model of each tower. This enables clients to evaluate and generate reports for comparative analysis and maintenance predictions. And all of this is possible without the need to physically climb towers for maintenance.

A reliable drone service provider can help you chart out the plan for remote inspection using drones. Further, you and all the stakeholders can access inspection results on the third-party data platform to stay in the loop.

Start by doing your research into how you can use drones in your business, which will help you identify the best technology or service provider. You can then make a decision based on factors such as cost-effectiveness, efficient data capturing, speed, and safety.

James Rennie

Prior to starting Australian UAV (AUAV) James Rennie had a long career in natural resource
management. In 2012 he identified a convergence of a previous hobby, radio-controlled planes, and his passion for mapping data. Recognising this opportunity he established AUAV in early 2013, one of the first drone companies in Australia. With thousands of commercial flights completed, including in Antarctica, Armenia and throughout Australia, he manages the strategy and growth of the company.
