The real impact of drones on workplace safety
A drone does not replace a worker. In certain cases, it replaces the need for that worker to be exposed to risk in order to gather information.

, Industrial SectorDrone LiDAR: mapping the terrain through vegetation
Surveying and mapping have a long-standing enemy: vegetation. Trees and scrub hide the real ground and hold back any technique that only "sees" the surface. Drone LiDAR solves exactly that problem, because its laser can pass through gaps in the foliage and return the terrain underneath. In this article we explain what drone laser scanning is, how it differs from photogrammetry, and walk through a real case in which we recovered the ground beneath a dense forest for wildfire prevention, hydraulic modelling and engineering projects.
, Industrial SectorThe 8 benefits of drone mapping for cartography
Drones have transformed mapping in recent years. Work that once took days or even weeks with traditional methods can now be done in a few hours with drone mapping, a technique that combines drones, high-precision positioning systems and photogrammetry software to produce maps, orthophotos and 3D models of the terrain.
, Industrial SectorDrones in industrial inspections: all the benefits
Industrial inspections are an essential part of infrastructure maintenance. Yet traditional methods often involve working at height, sending specialist staff on site and halting operations, all of which add cost and risk.
, Industrial SectorMeasuring hard-to-reach land accurately without walking it
At Droneit we regularly work with clients who need to measure plots, rural estates, farms or land earmarked for engineering and construction projects, where access is difficult or even impossible.
, Industrial SectorTop 5 uses of drones in industrial project management
A few years ago, talk of drones in industry sounded like a distant innovation. Today they are an increasingly common tool in project management.
, Industrial SectorDrone surveying deliverables: data and accuracy
When a client asks us for a drone topographic survey, as in this case, what matters is not only the flight but the deliverables they receive afterwards.
, Industrial SectorAerial topographic surveys: lower cost, wider reach and faster results
In recent years, drone topographic surveying has established itself as one of the most powerful tools for engineering, construction and land-planning projects.
, Industrial SectorDrone point clouds: when to use photogrammetry and when to use a LiDAR scanner
Drone-generated point clouds have become a key tool in sectors such as construction, engineering, surveying and renewable energy. They capture the condition of the terrain or a piece of infrastructure with centimetre-level accuracy, saving time and money compared with traditional methods.
, Industrial SectorDrone photos for mapping: technical features
Mapping has changed significantly in recent years thanks to advances in technologies such as drones. Today, drones can capture high-accuracy aerial images that are transforming the way maps, 3D models and land analyses are produced. Compared with traditional methods, drone photography offers a unique combination of resolution, accuracy and flexibility, making it an essential tool for surveyors, urban planners and environmental professionals. Below, the experts at Droneit, specialists in aerial solutions for mapping and geospatial analysis, run through the key features of these images.

One of our clients, the owner of a poultry farm raising chickens, made a significant investment to replace the roofs on two of the farm's four industrial buildings. The aim was to improve thermal efficiency and, with it, the quality of the indoor environment, which is essential for raising healthy chickens.
, Industrial SectorHow to detect heat loss in industrial buildings
Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of any industrial facility. In 2024, drones fitted with thermal cameras are establishing themselves as an essential tool for identifying heat loss and assessing the quality of thermal insulation in industrial buildings. This approach not only ensures better energy performance but also cuts operating costs and improves companies' sustainability.
