Group of Engineers to Take Use of Drone-Based Data to New Heights

-Primary Applications include Insurance Underwriting for Ag/Commercial and Inspection of Bridges, Wind Turbines and Construction using APA System™ -InfraDrone Co-Founders--ISU Engineering Grads with Top Honors

DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- High-Tech firm InfraDrone LLC announced today the launch of their proprietary APA SystemTM designed to take the use of drones to new levels by equipping the drones with highly sophisticated cameras, imaging, and nondestructive evaluation technology and applying proprietary machine learning analytics to interpret the data effectively.


InfraDrone LLC (www.InfraDroneLLC.com) is a High-Tech company providing drone-based data and analysis with primary applications including Insurance Underwriting for Ag/Commercial and Inspection of Bridges, Wind Turbines and Construction using the APA SystemTM.

Co-Founders Tyler Carter (President) and Akash Vidyadharan (CEO and Chief Technology Officer) emphasize three major benefits to their APA SystemTM:

Access: Utilization of Drones provides easy and economical access into areas that are otherwise dangerous (e.g. heights), inefficient (e.g. difficult to access) or inaccessible (e.g. bio-containment livestock centers).
Penetration Imaging: Utilization of Drones equipped with highly sophisticated imaging technology including 3D/mosaic modeling, HD visual inspection, penetrating infrared thermography, and LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) scans, allows our system to "see what cannot easily be seen" using traditional models.
Application: InfraDrone recognizes the need to make the data applications practical for businesses to use and employs proprietary machine learning and algorithms to quickly interpret massive amounts of data, providing actionable interpretations and recommendations.
"Our strategy is to use highly specialized equipment to provide usable data and results for our customers," commented Mr. Carter (President) Tyler. "Our drones can gather data quickly, safely and efficiently compared to traditional means."

"Gathering huge amounts of data that is otherwise difficult or impossible has become part of our normal operations," stated Mr. Vidyadharan (CEO and Chief Technology Officer). "The key is providing value to our clients through data interpretation for decision making. Our software engineers are building machine-learning systems that are capable of identifying and classifying defects on many types of infrastructure in a variety of projects and are designed to drive learning and efficiency to new levels," Mr. Vidyadharan explained.

The company currently has a team of 10 highly skilled engineers and scientists, with degrees ranging from Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering to Computer Science and Systems Engineering, including a number of advanced degrees.

FAULHABER MICROMO - Impressive accuracy through the latest chip technology

FAULHABER MICROMO - Impressive accuracy through the latest chip technology

With the launch of the IEP3, FAULHABER expands its product line with an incremental encoder which, thanks to the latest chip technology, achieves a very high resolution and accuracy. With a diameter of just 8 mm, the IEP3 is very lightweight and compact yet still offers a resolution of up to 10,000 lines per revolution - made possible by the latest chip technology with high interpolation. In the standard version, the resolution is freely programmable from 1 - 4,096 lines per revolution. Moreover, the chip technology that is used ensures a high positional accuracy of typically 0.3 °m as well as a high repeatability of typically 0.05 °m thanks to accuracy compensation.
