  • DroneDeploy Thermal Mapping Technology Could Save Lives
    Traditional drone mapping has always required a bit of post-flight production to reveal the data that was collected. Drone software company, DroneDeploy has just changed that timeline with the launch of its new Thermal Live Map application.
    While the standard survey process has utilized either an SD card or a live internet connection to collate data, this new solution sends real-time data directly to the operator’s smartphone. They can see the data as it’s collected, even watching as it’s stitched into the larger map that is being created.
    The map is saved locally to the operator’s phone or tablet, and is uploaded to the cloud once the device regains internet access.
    Real-time thermal imaging can help solar panel operators locate problems more efficiently, assist search and rescue operations in locating people lost in high density forests, and even help firefighters determine where a fire is hottest.
    The software is currently limited to iOS devices and DJI drones, due to DJI’s Occusync transmission technology.

  • Rolls Royce Addresses Engine Durability Issue
    Sometimes high-end products require high attention to detail, as well. Rolls-Royce has announced a new engine-durability issue that affects its Package B Trent 1000 engines. These engines, that power Boeing’s 787 airliner will require additional repair shop inspections, due to a recently discovered issue with the intermediate pressure compressor on what the company described as “a small number” of the engines that have been in service since 2012.
    This issue could affect approximately 166 engines, with evidence of wear already detected on some “high life” examples.
    This announcement comes on the heels of the increased servicing of Package C engines, where the defect was originally detected. 80% of the Package C engines have already been examined, with just under a third of those failing the inspection.
    Rolls-Royce will reduce discretionary spending to offset the funds needed for overhauls.

  • Automation Starting to Change Surveying and Mapping of Construction Sites
    Most major construction projects involve a significant number of human participants to reach completion successfully.
    A new collaboration between Israeli tech startup Airobotics and Shapir Civil and Marine Engineering Ltd, is making a dramatic change in those personnel requirements. The new joint venture, named “Shapir-Ashtrom”, is using completely automated drones for aerial data gathering and measurements, including stockpile assessments and construction progress monitoring.
    The pilotless drones, which are the 1st of their kind in the global market, can complete tasks within a 5Km radius of the central docking station in a 45 minute timeframe, a speed that would be impossible through traditional surveying methods.
    The 1st project for this new partnership is the construction of a new seaport in Haifa, Israel, currently the largest port construction in the country. The new port will cover approximately 810 acres, with the ability to process around 1.1 million containers per year and will be valued at just over $1B.
