Making Money With Drones, Drones in the Construction Industry. Second Edition.

The boom of drones in the industry represents a step in the process of automation and digitalization of all industrial processes. The reduction of the size of the aircrafts and the possibility of being piloted from the ground caused the reduction of acquisition costs with the consequent versatility in multiple functions. The "Making Money with Drones" series focuses on describing most of the functions, utilities, technologies and business possibilities that can be performed with drones to meet the needs of the various existing industries. This series is not intended to be a tutorial that automatically makes you money just by reading it, but the reader interested in starting a business with drones should act on the drone service opportunities that can be realized according to this book series. This collection is intended to cover the needs of industries such as agriculture, civil construction, mining, manufacturing, livestock, archaeology, oil and energy, naval, mechanical and military. Subsequently, solutions are sought in which digitalization and automation using drones are prioritized, to finally indicate which are the factors that enable income after these services and how to scale them up.

In this first volume, the study of the civil construction industry will be covered, prioritizing first its deficiencies as well as its opportunities for improvement. It is observed that the construction industry has not evolved technologically, still using conventional tools of centuries ago both in the construction and in the registration of the work. The use of analogical processes in the work progress registry continues in spite of the use of the BIM format. In this volume, more than 90 business opportunities were reviewed in which some are already applied, others are in practical experimentation and the rest are still in theoretical evaluation. All of these services are scalable and can be integrated so that the UAV can develop multiple tasks at the same time. In the same way, the technologies in sensors and cameras for the execution of drone tasks are described. This guide is the first step to monetize drones in the construction industry, in which there is minimal competition even in developed countries.
