XPONENTIAL - Agenda Announced for Drones and Energy Summit, Co-Located at AUVSI's 2016 XPONENTIAL in New Orleans
Produced by UAS Magazine, this one-day event will highlight how the energy industry is using drone technology and services
New Orleans, Louisiana - (Apr. 19, 2016) - UAS Magazine announced this week the preliminary agenda for the UAS Energy In Sight Summit, a one-day event co-located at the worlds largest unmanned vehicle event, AUVSIs XPONENTIAL. Produced by UAS Magazine, the UAS Energy In Sight Summit, at AUVSIs XPONENTIAL, May 4, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, will provide an unprecedented look at the need and opportunity for the unmanned aircraft systems industry to serve energy producers and energy infrastructure entities with aerial imagery, data and better options to perform dull, dangerous, dirty or difficult services.
"Our final agenda includes a range of content will span the entire energy industry, from wind and solar to oil and pipelines," says Luke Geiver, editor of UAS Magazine. "If a UAS can, has or should be used for energy-related purposes, it will be talked about in some fashion at this event. These incredible storylines have mostly gone untold in the greater UAS world," added Geiver.
A sample of the current panel topics includes:
• Advancing The Wind Energy Industry Through UAS Operator, Software Analytics Collaboration
• Flying For Oil, Gas: Lessons Learned From Aerospace And Hydrocarbon Production Industry Veterans
• Flying Beyond Visual Line Of Sight For Rail
• How UAVs Have Become Worksite Tools
• Meeting Unique Client Needs Via UAS
• Market Insight: UAVs and Pipelines
• Solar And UAS: Metrics For Economical Applications
• Onsite Energy Awareness: Legal, Regulatory Considerations For In-Field Ops
This event is the first dedicated gathering of parties who are interested in both unmanned aircraft vehicles and how they are used in the energy industry. Selected presenters will reveal the market opportunities for UAS entities looking to work with energy producers from Texas to Maine to California in the oil and gas, wind, solar or renewables space. Analysis and overviews of the size of each energy market and its potential need for UAS will be revealed, along with case studies and examples of how UAVs have already been implemented into the energy sector.
Attendees of the UAS Energy In Sight Summit also receive a complimentary, one-day pass to the XPONENTIAL expo hall and can network with all of the exhibitors on the tradeshow floor.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
