Transportation

The transportation and logistics environment has taken to drones in several areas because of their ability to maneuver around and above otherwise difficult-to-reach areas like warehouses and shipping container ports and terminals. And part of their repertoire includes multiple ways to communicate and share information.

Drone cameras are used not only to provide visibility to pilot the drones but also for identifying and inspecting items. Drone cameras are used to automatically read QR codes that identify shipping containers, machinery, and manufacturing equipment, and they can be equipped with RFID scanners that let them locate or identify items not easily visible from the ground. Drones are able to be quickly and accurately positioned to aim their cameras at areas of interest while workers on the ground use their tablets to control, view, inspect and document their observations.

- Ability to observe a larger area at a time.
- Ability to integrate Visual scanners through build-in cameras and other scanning accessories such as RFID
- Reduced inspection time
- Lesser requirement of human involvement
