How to Make the Best Use of Your Drone Data

by mary shacklett

Drones are great for collecting valuable data insights. But the amount of unstructured data can overwhelm your systems or go unused if you're not prepared.

Internet of Things (IoT) and visual data are what drones record and collect, but they also deliver unstructured big data. The net of this for companies interested in using drones for their operations is that an IT plan for supporting the big data that results from drone missions must be defined and implemented. Such a plan must address not only the data collecting equipment and types of data that the drone carries and gathers, but also where data will be stored and processed.

Here are some questions to ask yourself and your team to help you design your big data plan.

  1. What types of drone operations and data collection will you do?
  2. What type of data security will you need?
  3. What type of storage architecture will you need?
  4. How will you integrate drone data so it can be used?
