Inspection at Scale - How to Build a Mission-Critical Drone Inspection Program
On-demand Webinar | Free
Making the jump from dabbling in drones to running a full-fledged drone program is a challenge. Managing large drone and pilot fleets across geographies, time zones, and even use cases can easily overwhelm program managers and stunt program growth. Join our webinar to learn best practices and pitfalls from drone industry veterans who can set you on the right path to scale the impact of your drone program.
This webinar will be hosted by Alden Jones, Sr. Director of Customer Success and Mauricio Barra, Sr. Director of Enterprise Product Marketing. Alden joins Skydio from American Tower Corporation (ATC), where he founded and led their UAS program to conduct 20,000 automated inspections per year. Alden’s team trained 175 existing employees to become UAS pilots and built a custom back-end automated post-processing system for analysis.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- Best practices and lessons learned from building large programs
- The factors that prevent many nascent drone programs from scaling
- How Skydio Autonomy makes it easier than ever to grow your program
