Drones in Energy 2022

Drone technology is proving to be a significant change for the energy industry. Energy sectors like solar, wind, oil, and gas rely on inspections to maintain safety standards, but those inspections can take large amounts of time and money to carry out. With drones flying over the utility sites, damage to everything can quickly be identified and problems can be prevented before they grow.

This Drones in Energy conference will discuss the evolving future of Drones in the Energy Sector to make this sector more efficient than ever by using innovative Unmanned systems.

Topics
  • The policies and regulations status for use of Drones in Energy and its impact
  • The value of Unmanned Aerial Systems for energy sector
  • Integration of Drones data in the current operations
  • Deployment of Drones to conduct inspections and plan sites
  • Training and availability of skilled workforce
  • COVID-19 impacts and best practices
