It’s a great move for both companies, moving another step closer to a seamless, end to end solution for enterprise customers. The Skyward platform allows customers to manage their drone program – from aircraft and battery to flight planning and approvals and mission operations. With the new integration, customers will be able to produce 2D maps and 3D images from the same interface. “Enterprises and drone pilots can now plan flights, receive approval to fly in controlled airspace with LAANC, fly with Skyward’s InFlight ground control station, and process data using Pix4D — all from within the Skyward platform.”
“Skyward has been bringing our customers tools to access airspace, plan, and fly — now they can produce business-ready data deliverables without leaving Skyward,” said Mariah Scott, Skyward President. “Enterprises in construction, energy and utilities, and the public sector can get even more ROI out of their drone programs when combining Skyward’s drone management platform with Pix4D’s market-leading photogrammetry tools.”
Transform drone data into business-ready deliverables
Skyward Mapping & Modeling, powered by Pix4D, enables customers to create, view, measure, and export 2D orthomosaic maps and 3D photogrammetric models right from Skyward’s web app. With the processing power of Pix4D, the market leader in photogrammetry software technology, Skyward customers can get business-ready data sets through a seamless plan, fly, process workflow.
“Enterprises are seeking to scale their drone operations and transform their businesses with better data and faster time-to-insight. Skyward’s platform, along with the power of Pix4D, delivers a powerful, comprehensive solution,” said Christopher Cressy, Pix4D Managing Director for North America.
Skyward will hold a webinar on June 8 at 2 p.m. ET: and enterprises and commercial operators can try Skyward Mapping & Modeling free for 30 days.
