Use Cases

Additional Information

Increase Visibility:
Drones can provide the crane operators or workers on the ground a bird’s-eye view of the area, particularly around known blind spots. This is also useful for drivers of straddle carriers to see around high-density container stacks.

Autonomous Inspections:
The drone can be deployed to perform inspection tasks, for example, monitor the status of refrigerated containers, or inspect the roof of a container.
