 Project objective

Current ecosystem of software for commercial drone usage suffers from the lack of automation. This renders many existing workflows in asset inspection, mapping/surveying & other drone usage scenarios prone to errors & not scalable. The most complex & least solved step in such workflows is drone-based data acquisition. At Drone Harmony we develop planning & flight automation software (mission planners) tailored for vertical inspection use cases, closing the data acquisition gap & guaranteeing a robust reproducible process. In contrast to existing products that apply manual & ad hoc approaches, our solution leverages existing data about the environment, including map information, CAD information, 3d models, digital elevation models & others to fully automate the planning process. This guarantees reliable data acquisition required for scalable drone-based inspections workflows. We automate the data acquisition process by making the software is aware of the asset & its environment complexity, process this information & produce optimal flight plans for drones to execute. Our mission planners have been installed on 30,000 devices during the beta phase with 100s of users executing ~200 autonomous flights every day. We have already sold our missing planning software to 130 customers in 30 countries. Since the beta release of our mission planning software in Jul 2018, we are generating monthly revenues of €9,000. The majority of the revenues come from sold licenses for which we have a retention rate of almost 100%. We have multiple sales collaborations with high profile partners, such as Bentley Systems, which gives us access to their sales channels & a large global reseller network. In this project we want to evaluate the market potential of a fully-fledged 4D modelling automated workflow solution for the enterprise market.
