How has Covid-19 affected the Drone industry?

 

The current pandemic has affected the world and has made society across all angles of the globe re-evaluate their lifestyles.

However, how it affects industry is a completely different area to discuss. And one area that needs exploration is the Drone industry.

So has Covid-19 affected the Drone industry? And if so how?

Here, Quotes 4 Drones explains it all.

It’s not rocket science to understand that the Drone industry was initially met with hesitation but since the pandemic, it looks as though the positive elements to this industry, has out-weighed the negatives.

And here’s a few reasons why Drones are a good addition:

Sanitisation:

In a bid to reduce the rise of the infection rate, the use of agricultural spray Drones are now being used to sanitise public spaces.

And while it’s too soon to analyse data to see if this method actually works and if there any risks involved, it is quite clear that, for now, it can only help.

Healthcare:

With an investment of an estimated $300m since 2012, according to commercialuavnews.com, Drones are certainly making traction in a number of areas, including medical supplies.

Drones also aid reducing patient travel. And by that we mean that the UK government unveiled a £90m funding package to enable medicine deliveries across Southampton, Portsmouth and other areas in England. While hospitals are overrun with treating Covid patients, those with other illnesses are sometimes overlooked.

But with Drones, chemotherapy kits could be flown from Southampton to recognised locations where they would be taken to the patient’s home and administered by local medical staff. In addition, drones could also be used to transport urgent blood and organs.

Employment: 

Unlike humans employment during this pandemic Drones are always available and do not have to quarantine rules, affecting productivity. But there are obviously negatives. One effect will be on the supply chain for Drone manufacturers. The time frame for components may become hindered, according to Patrique Zaman, Founder & CEO AVY.

Underwater Drones are transforming marine science

  The vast and mysterious underwater world has always fascinated scientists and explorers alike. From vibrant coral reefs to the dark, unexplored trenches of the ocean, understanding these environments is crucial not only for marine biology but also for monitoring the health of our planet. Recently, scientists and researchers have been employing a revolutionary tool underwater drones to study marine life, monitor environmental changes, and explore underwater ecosystems with unprecedented detail. Studying Marine Life in Their Natural Habitat Traditional methods of studying marine life often involved direct human observation through diving or the deployment of stationary cameras, which can be limited by depth, time, or visibility. Underwater drones change this dynamic by enabling: Detailed behaviour analysis: High-resolution cameras capture real-time footage of marine creatures, revealing hunting, mating, and social behaviours. Tracking elusive species: Wit...

Exploring the Depths: The Advent of Underwater Drones

  The vast and mysterious realm of the ocean has always captivated human imagination. From the beautiful coral reefs teeming with life to the dark, uncharted depths where sunlight cannot penetrate, the underwater world holds countless secrets waiting to be unravelled. In the not-so-distant past, the only way to explore these depths was through manned submarines and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), but now, a new player has entered the scene: underwater drones. The Rise of Underwater Drones Just as aerial drones revolutionized the way we gather information and conduct surveillance from the skies, underwater drones have opened up a whole new frontier of exploration and research beneath the ocean's surface. These remotely operated submersibles are equipped with cameras, sensors, and sometimes even manipulator arms, allowing them to capture stunning imagery, collect data, and even perform tasks in otherwise inaccessible underwater environments. Applications and Uses The poten...

The Benefits of Using Drones for Exterior Building Cleaning

In recent years, the use of drones has become increasingly popular in various industries, including the cleaning and maintenance of buildings. One innovative application of drones is in exterior building cleaning, offering a range of benefits over traditional cleaning methods. Let’s explore the advantages of using drones for this purpose: 1. Cost-Effective: Using drones for exterior building cleaning can be more cost-effective compared to traditional methods that may require specialized equipment, expensive scaffolding, or manual labour. Drones can access hard-to-reach areas without the need for expensive equipment, resulting in cost savings for building owners and cleaning companies. 2. Efficiency: Drones can clean building exteriors faster and more efficiently than manual methods. With their ability to fly and move around structures, drones can cover large surface areas in a shorter amount of time, reducing the overall cleaning time required. 3. Safety: Cleaning the exter...
