How customers use Skydio to accomplish more.
We previously spent 60 hours flight time collecting topography for the pit. We now spend 4 hours with the Skydio...
We are safely patrolling construction sites where conditions change daily for three months, reducing site progress inspection from 1 hour to 10 minutes.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection was able to reduce manhunts to address an illegal group crossing from 5 hours to 10 minutes by sending in a drone to surveil prior to taking action.
We went from a team of 6-8 people to a team of 2-3 to scan and analyze the data.
We are able to inspect a pole every 20-30 seconds and decrease the project timeline to 1 week.
