Commercial UAVs

Improving Safety, Data Quality and Cost Effectiveness with Commercial UAVs

As technology advances further, the market for commercial UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) in Australia has doubled in size over the past 6 - 8 months. Utilising UAVs for surveying, scanning and aerial photography is improving data quality, speed of data acquisition, data accuracy, safety and cost effectiveness.

More and more industries are realising the potential of drones and the market in Australia and globally is predicted to grow significantly over the next 12 months.

The importance of real time, or at the least more frequent updates of imaging and data, is becoming more fundamental to all organisations bottom-lines and competitiveness.

Up to date geographical image data can help minimise errors, equipment failure, construction project faults and wastage or inefficiencies of operations.

FSM Australia is proud to present the 2nd Annual Commercial UAVs event to discuss the following key opportunities and challenges:

1. Achieving effective integration to improve data collection, collation and utilisation

1. Keeping abreast of the fast moving technology to maximise ROI

1. Complying with current regulations and training requirements
