Drones are nowadays often seen flying above cities, woodlands, or construction fields. Their versatile usability ensures that more and more industries are interested in drone surveys and data.
In this article, we discuss how you can enhance the digital twin of your asset with drone data.
The data is just data without a proper analysis
Well-gathered drone data creates an accurate visualisation of a certain asset or area. When drone data is used in asset management, different tools are needed to get useful information out of the data.
- Measurements,
- cross-sections,
- volume calculations – all these provide important information about an asset.
Many data processing software contains some measurement tools. In GISGRO, you can use various tools and do the analysis after visualising the data.
Combine different 3D data for a comprehensive view of the asset
There are many different technologies to gather georeferenced 3D data, with photogrammetry and LiDAR drone survey being only one.
In most cases, more than one data survey method is needed in order to get a comprehensive view of the infrastructure and the assets.
In GISGRO, you can combine, for example, sonar, laser, and photogrammetry data in order to get a beautiful real-life image of your property from each angle.
You can upload most of the common survey data formats to GISGRO with an easy drag-and-drop feature, including, for example, .asc, .las, and .obj.
Communication is the most important use for a digital twin
The digital twin is a virtual representation of an asset, and its most important benefit is to ease communication between all parties involved in asset management. Enriching the model with additional documents, remarks, and information is one important step, and finally, you need to be able to share the data with your colleagues and partners.
Easy-to-use online asset management software like GISGRO simplifies it because it doesn’t require installations or training.
