For Linear Infrastructure
Power Lines, Pipelines and Railways
One of the biggest challenges in monitoring linear infra-structure such as power lines is the long distances involved. To ensure accurate data collection, the drone's stability and maneuverability require calm weather conditions along the entire along the entire route.
To accurately plan the mission, the NOVA Operations Platform allows you to simulate the flight beforehand, which is essential to evaluate the weather along the route.
For Solar Parks
A successful drone operation to monitor solar farms should take place under clear skies, mild winds and constant sunlight. In addition, drone battery life and flight time limitations can be a challenge when monitoring solar farms, which often cover large areas. Efficient battery management, including scheduling multiple flights or deploying multiple drones, may be required to ensure complete coverage.
NOVA has your back with a clear weather report showing your predicted flight time and battery status!
For Wind Farms
Wind farms, especially offshore wind farms, are subject to harsh weather conditions such as high winds. Due to their remote locations, high-resolution weather models, especially at different heights, can be difficult to find. Limited battery life can also be a significant limitation.
The NOVA Operations Platform has you covered: With global, high-resolution weather parameters, you can plan your operations even in remote locations. In addition, our 4D trajectory technology simulates a digital twin of the drone mission and analyzes potential battery constraints based on local wind conditions.
For Construction Sites
Some drone mapping projects require the absence of shadows and therefore require constant light with high cloud cover to ensure accurate and reliable results. Drastic changes in lighting, such as heavy shadows, can obscure details and make it difficult for photogrammetry software to accurately match points between images. By flying in low-shadow conditions, you minimize the presence of such variations and make it easier for the software to identify corresponding points in different images.
With the NOVA Operations Platform, you can identify flight windows that meet these specific light condition requirements!
