SmartDrone - Providing new smart ways of working

"A common use case for SmartDrone is to inspect a building's condition and search for defects that are otherwise hard to detect, such as energy and water leakages. But the solution is so much more than just a new way of performing inspections. It is a powerful tool that can be utilized in many aspects of our daily work within property services as well," Ylva Norlin, Service Development Manager at Coor Group, explains.

Erik Sekse, Project Manager for Coor at Equinor in Norway, quickly saw a lot of potential in the solution when he accessed the 3D model of the customer’s facilities. He has a digital twin of the customer’s site, which he easily can access on his computer or smartphone, providing him with smarter ways of working. Erik Sekse is using the model for everything from controlling the dimensions of a window to planning larger reconstructions together with subcontractors.
According to Erik, the most time-saving use case so far is the BREEAM-certification of the building. "This is usually a time-consuming task because it requires detailed information, such as the exact size of windows and glass surfaces, dimensions of facades, where sunshade exists and so on. With the functionality in the tool, I easily get this information from the 3D model instead of having to run around the site to count and measure."
