Sep 03 2025

11:30 AM - 12:30 PM PDT

Summit Stage

For organizations in critical commercial and industrial sectors, standard off-the-shelf drone solutions often fail to meet highly specialized operational requirements. This panel explores how drone development and integration services are revolutionizing industry-specific applications by significantly extending the capabilities of commercial drone platforms. Panelists will detail…

  • Emerging and underserved markets where customized drone solutions can provide significant value.
  • Opportunities in areas like specialized inspections, advanced cinematography, environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, and unique event documentation.
  • The possibilities that are enabled when different packages and platforms are combined, which can include specialized sensors (lidar, thermal, multispectral, custom payloads) and cutting-edge software.
  • How to leverage advanced processing techniques and create customized data visualizations that provide clients with unparalleled insights.
  • Comprehensive and customized drone services that are true differentiators.
  • Value-based pricing and strategies for communicating the ROI of your customized offerings.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into assessment frameworks for determining when custom integration services are truly necessary compared to when commercial off-the-shelf solutions will suffice. Whether you are currently evaluating the enhancement of existing drone fleets or meticulously planning new deployments for highly specialized applications, you will receive actionable guidance on leveraging integration services to effectively achieve their unique operational objectives.
