A quick story about
technology
disruption...
Sir Charles Vernon Boys
1855-1944, British Physicist

4
Hummingbird effects sometimes happen
when an innovation in one field exposes a
flaw in some other technology that can be
corrected only by another discipline
altogether.
But sometimes the effect arrives thanks to a
different kind of break through: a dramatic
increase in our ability to measure something,
and an improvement in the tools we build for
measuring.

EFFECT

MEASUREMENT LEADS
INNOVATION
New ways of measuring almost always imply new ways of making.

6
How can we use advancements in
measurement tools to help the
environmental engineering industry
remain competitive?

7
The traditional methods, technologies
and skill-sets that the environmental
engineering sector has relied upon to
deliver value to its customers and
constituents are no longer sufficient.
PROBLEM

8
CHALLENGE
Identifying current ongoing and pipeline
opportunities within that can quickly convert
and capture measured value. Prioritized order
of target value propositions:
● Cost reduction
● Risk mitigation
● Digital transformation enablement
● Profit generation
OPPORTUNITY
The enterprise drone industry is
predicted to deliver over $126B in
business value to companies over the next
year. This will be our starting point for
initial market estimates.
Drones excel at reaching and traversing areas where it is
arduous for people to maneuver; making large
environmental sites prime value targets.
Cost-reduction and risk mitigation will always be
primary short-term value propositions, but should not
be the only opportunities we explore.

9
COSTS
By 2020, enterprises will be spending over $6B
a year on drone-related technologies.
Before considering major CAPEX spending we
must first focus on identifying high value use-
cases, understanding the associated values, and
operationalizing the solutions.
BENEFITS
$95B of that value is shared across
markets directly served by our
environmental engineering clients.
With a primary value proposition of cost savings,
demonstrate early success by focusing on quick-delivery cost
and time savings opportunities first.
TIP; use your current market share estimates to calculate the
total potential value from your existing clients over the next
year.

10
To survive and thrive,
organizations must evolve with
the new digital economy.
SOLUTION

11
Environmental stewards must
prioritize the broad adoption of new
GIS-centric capabilities with the goal
of creating new sources of business,
civic & environmental value.

Site Plan
Existing facilities and structures need
images of present conditions of
facilities to identify future work.
3D Modeling
Using the power of 3D visualization,
new views of a site open new
possibilities for interpretation.
Additional Sensors
Site contaminants are better qualified
and quantified using multiple layers of
spectral analysis.
ISMO
Acts as both a proof-of-concept and
first-look at site conditions.
Advanced Tools
Increase efficiency and decrease
uncertainty with built-in data analysis.
Future FlightsContinuous drone mapping missions
give the project manager the a
temporal view of a site as it changes
with time.
THE SOLUTION
Our solution is designed to align with your project workflows. Deliverables can be instantly accessed through our data platform
and brought into your work environment, various file format downloads support other 3rd party tools you use.
Custom 2D Map, 3D Model, 4D Information; Delivered via new enterprise collaboration platform.

16
Costs Saved
Pre-planning for Site Walks saves field budget,
save on sampling costs, collaboration platform
options available for driving organizational
efficiency.
Effort Saved
Efficient strategies can be made for future
boots on the ground.
Time Saved
Total project time for Skybernetics: 1-
week. Estimated time for traditional
survey methods: 33-days field work, 2-
weeks processing.
Repeatability
With each successive visit, the efficiency
during each site mapping increases.
THE SOLUTION
Deliverables made accessible to all
employees, in the office and field, for
enhanced collaboration and shorter project
turnaround time.
