The adoption of Drones in the security sector is becoming more common as the enhancement of technology makes them more useful in securing a large area.
Drones can be programmed to follow a particular flight
path to monitor assets broken down into zones.
One advantage of using Drones for monitoring asset is the
time saved compared to traditional methods. A zone can be inspected in rapid
time in comparison to usual ground patrols.
A drone will perform the same task while feeding real
time information back to the main control centre, meaning the time spent on
ground patrols are more efficient.
Percepto AIM (Autonomous Inspection & Monitoring) is
one of many companies offering this service.
According to their website: ‘Autonomous robots managed by
Percepto AIM, automatically, constantly and remotely conduct perimeter security
patrols, gate inspections, parking lot monitoring, inventory inspections and
more – all without the need for additional security personnel. With minimal
on-site human presence required, Percepto increases 24/7 all-weather patrol
frequency and efficacy – detecting and alerting breaches in real-time and
enhancing overall site safety and security.’
They go on to add: ‘A major international automaker
deployed the Percepto solution at one of its production facilities to augment
security efforts on site. With security teams already stretched thin, the
facility looked to increase coverage, reduce human error and keep their employees
safe. When COVID-19 hit, they were forced to close the plant and rely on
hundreds of monthly remotely controlled autonomous drone flights to maintain
security while personnel couldn’t get on-site. Percepto drones constantly
monitored the closed site, with real-time security breach alerts empowering the
security team remotely.’
