On today’s podcast we have a special guest, Joshua Marriott, Director of VDC and Field Solutions at Weitz, who talks to us about the role of drones in the drone industry.
Today’s podcast is brought to you by the Drone Mapping and Flight Mastery class on December 6th. Out special bootcamp is a three-day boot camp plus one-day Flight Mastery Training. We will present and introduce different types of data collection, followed by discussion and instructions on how to process the data obtained. From Pix4d Mapper to Pix4d React, to deploying drones and Optelos. Students will go through a total of 12 exercises to master the workflow for the various outputs. The goal is to map and create location models for this training. We only have 2 places available and please contact Rob to sign up.
We invite our special guest, Joshua Marriott, into our studio today to discuss drones in the construction industry. Joshua comes with many years of managing challenging projects in the construction industry and is an expert in managing drone programs and projects. We discuss the all-important construction industry and the role that drones and drone data play in ensuring the industry’s operational efficiency. We discuss data, technology, use cases, data analytics, lessons learned, GCP usage, as well as the potential impact of the DJI ban on the drone industry.
