The Evolution from Drone-as-a-Service to Docked Drone-as-a-Service Models
This presentation examines how the emergence of docking systems is completely redefining drone service delivery, enabling a shift to the Docked Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) model that promises greater efficiency, reduced costs, and expanded operational capabilities. Limitations of traditional DaaS models include travel time and cost inefficiencies, on-site pilot requirements, training complexities, and the substantial overhead that comes with distributed operations. These limitations will be outlined along with real-world examples that will illustrate how these factors have constrained growth and profitability despite clear value delivery.

Overcoming Challenges in the Development of DRONEPORT for Autonomous Infrastructure Inspections
Learn how a fully automated drone-in-a-box system was developed as a cost-effective, reliable, and eco-friendly alternative to helicopter inspections of critical infrastructure. This presentation covers the journey of creating an autonomous drone system focused on flight safety and EU regulatory compliance for robust, repeated use. Discover how technical and regulatory hurdles were overcome, leading to the 24/7 Exabotix DRONEPORT solution, which offers higher data frequency and a safer, more efficient, and cheaper approach to infrastructure monitoring.
