Drones: The Insurance Industry's Next Game-Changer?Cognizant
Drones promise to be the next disruptive technology -- poised to dramatically alter how industry sectors, including property and casualty insurers, conduct business. Drones have the potential to streamline and reduce the cost of insurance-related processes, including claims adjustment, risk-engineering, post-catastrophe claims settlements and weeding out fraudulent agricultural claims.
The need for adopting drone services as an important part of farming processes is driven by a large group of end users, including farmers, who are moving towards smartly integrating the information gathered by these drones for pesticide management and better irrigation methodologies. Infrared and high-precision images of crops and soil quality that help farmers to ascertain the stress levels of crops and their growth parameters will continue to fuel the demand for drone services in the agricultural sector.
Drones are a different kind of new technology from what we’re used to. They offer something else: the conquest of physical space, the extension of society’s compass, the ability to be anywhere and see anything.
For the past few years, one of the most exciting class of gadgets on display has been drones. They got cheaper, lighter, and easier to use even as they became more powerful.
We believe 2015 is an important year for drones as they will change how brands interact with consumers in both advertising and events, and here's everything you need to know about the drone technology.

El "incipiente" mercado relacionado con el uso de drones está capacitado para generar oportunidades de negocio por un valor total de 127.300 millones de dólares (111.846 millones de euros), donde las infraestructuras, la agricultura y el transporte serían los sectores más beneficiados.
Professionals with extensive expertise play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of crucial infrastructure. However, the logistical challenges of deploying experienced personnel to inspection sites, include costs, time constraints, and safety concerns. This can hamper their ability to make well-informed decisions. By leveraging drone inspection services, these barriers can be effectively overcome. This in turn can result in noteworthy time, resource, and human life savings.
Advancements and Applications of Drone Technology: A Comprehensive ReviewIRJTAE
Drones have gained significant attention in recent years due to their increasing utility across various sectors.
These unmanned aerial vehicles come in a range of shapes and sizes, from small consumer drones to large
military-grade UAVs. The accessibility and affordability of drone technology have spurred innovation, leading to
new applications that were once considered impractical or too expensive. The advancement in drone technology
has been fuelled by improvements in battery life, sensor technology, and artificial intelligence, allowing drones
to perform complex tasks autonomously.
The growing use of drones has not been without challenges, however. Regulatory bodies worldwide are
struggling to keep pace with the rapid technological advancements, leading to a patchwork of regulations and
safety standards. Additionally, the potential for drones to invade personal privacy or cause safety risks has raised
public concern. This paper aims to provide a detailed exploration of the current state of drone technology,
focusing on key applications and the challenges faced by the industry. One significant aspect driving drone
adoption is the economic potential they represent. In sectors like logistics and agriculture, drones can
significantly reduce operational costs and improve efficiency. This economic incentive has led to increased
investment in drone technology, further accelerating its development. At the same time, this rapid growth
requires a balanced approach to ensure that drones are used safely and ethically.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

and can be used effectively to capture
imagery for precision management decisions
such as variable-rate in-season fertilisation,
weed identification, livestock inventory and
identifying sick animals,” advised John
Nowatzki, an agricultural machine systems
specialist at North Dakota State University
and the principal investigator on a first-of-
its-kind agricultural research project incor-
porating drone technology. However, Mr
Nowatzki went on to note that small UAS
are “relatively limited by flight time” and
“cannot easily capture imagery of thou-
sands of acres on the same day”.
He points out that large UAS will be
required to collect high-spatial and tem-
poral-resolution imagery over entire regions
in a timely manner. “A large UAS could cap-
ture high-resolution imagery of one square
mile in a single image,” he suggested. “This
would make it possible to capture imagery
useable for precision crop management over
hundreds of thousands of acres in a single
day at very high resolution.” That said, while
advancements in drone technology are crit-
ical, the development of sensors and down-
stream analytical packages to generate
meaningful insights from these farmland
images is perhaps the real driver for growth
in agricultural drone adoption.
Harnessed by Hollywood
Meanwhile, Juniper’s research also found
that demand for UAVs in the film and tele-
vision sectors is soaring. Drones provide a
much cheaper, more flexible alternative to
the use of helicopters and other methods
to capture footage for the film and TV
industry, particularly for action sequences.
Certainly, drones have already become a
firm fixture on the sets of Hollywood block-
busters, with early examples including
James Bond’s Skyfall, which used drones to
follow the action as 007 chased a terrorist
across the rooftops of Istanbul’s famous
bazaar – and won an Oscar for its aerial
imaging platform, Flying-Cam 3.0 SARAH,
in so doing. Other early adopters included
The Wolf of Wall Street, The Hunger Games,
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,
Van Helsing and HBO blockbuster series
Game of Thrones.
Darryl Duzak, aerial cinematographer
and pilot at Skyline Studio – a company
specialising in cinema-quality aerial cine-
matography and video production – sees
ease of use, agility, and low cost as the
major advantages ushered in by drone
technology. “Drones are bridging the gap
between camera cranes on the ground and
helicopters in the air,” he enthused. “It
allows that level between 40 and 400 feet
to be filled unlike anything before it, and
enables me to add a needed new perspec-
tive in modern day film and television.”
Beyond that, with helicopter rental costing
around US$10,000 per day, the cost sav-
ings when compared to renting a drone for
an eight-hour day are clearly substantial.
Much needed power boost
Many companies in the oil, gas and power
industries have started adopting drones for
various operations as a faster, safer and
more efficient alternative to manned opera-
tions. Mitigating risk to workers is clearly of
great value to such businesses – especially
given that the stakes are typically high, the
standards are accordingly stringent, and the
price of personnel comes at a premium. As
such, the energy sector is increasingly using
drones to inspect both offshore and onshore
facilities at heights, in hazardous areas or
within confined spaces. “Minimising risk
by utilising cutting-edge technology in this
way is of great importance to the energy
industry. This technology provides a real
opportunity to decrease the number of falls
and fatalities that occur due to traditional
methods of working at height,” suggests
Chris Wilber, Pipeline Services Director at
SGC Engineering – a Houston-based sub-
sidiary of Lloyd’s Register. “Drones can also
be operated at a much lower per-hour cost
than many manned inspection vehicles and
offer the ability to collect data on a pre-pro-
grammed repeatable track, providing con-
sistency in the inspection data and making
the identification of maintenance trends
much easier.”
Given the sustained slump in oil price
and thousands of recent rig closures, per-
haps now more than ever drones could play
an important role in creating operational
efficiencies – and in a cost-effective way.
In the power utilities segment, companies
are deploying drones to inspect overhead
transmission lines and equipment – typi-
cally a high-risk activity to personnel,
however experienced. One such company
embracing UAVs is Austin Energy, which
is testing a novel solution for inspecting
transmission lines from the air using drones
and breakthrough imaging software from
It was almost 15 years ago – on 4th February
2002 – in Afghanistan’s Paktia province,
that the CIA first utilised an unmanned
Predator drone. It would become the first
of many targeted killings that would make
drones or UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles)
synonymous with death and destruction.
Between 2009 and 31st December 2015,
President Obama’s administration admitted
launching 473 strikes, predominantly with
drones, that killed a reported 2,372 and
2,581 terrorist “combatants”, alongside
up to 116 civilians. Indeed, according to
John Sifton – Advocacy Director for Asia at
Human Rights Watch – the advent of UAVs
in US military operations has ushered in an
era of killing that is “risk-free, remote and
detached from human cues”.
Yet as UAVs become more affordable and
ubiquitous, such technology is being put to
work in countless less controversial emerging
applications. A low price point – with high
performance models now available for less
than US$3,000 and consumer models for
as low as US$30 – has significantly reduced
the barrier to entry in many sectors, with
strong uptake of the technology for applica-
tions involving mapping, inspection and
monitoring. As a result, according to a recent
study from Juniper Research – Drones:
Consumer & Commercial Applications,
Regulations & Opportunities 2015-2020
– annual revenues from commercial drones
sales are forecast to reach US$481 million
this year, up an impressive 84 per cent on
last year’s figure (US$261m).
Agricultural applications on the up
Often viewed as one of the few remaining
bastions of tradition due to its considerable
dependence on human labour and intel-
lect, agriculture has, perhaps surprisingly,
emerged as one of the front-runner appli-
cations for drone technology. Juniper asserts
that the strongest growth is likely to occur
within the agricultural sector, which it fore-
casts will account for 48 per cent of all com-
mercial drone sales this year. Very much
part of the emerging concept of precision
agriculture, UAVs help save time and costs
over established methods like walking fields
on foot and using planes for fly-over filming,
alongside for more regular crop surveying.

Indian company Arcturus Business
Solutions. The firm’s pattern recognition
algorithms compare images of new transmis-
sion equipment with images taken by drone
to detect damaged tower components, hot
spots and coronas, and even to measure line
sag. Should such tests prove successful,
utilities have the potential to lower costs and
improve the safety, speed and precision of
inspections. Current inspection techniques
require physical access by lineworkers or
costly flyovers by helicopter.
Longer wait for drone deliveries
While the advantages for such applications
seem obvious, research by Juniper also
cautioned that a raft of privacy, safety and
security concerns could mean the usage of
drones within built-up areas for delivery
purposes is severely constrained or even
prohibited in the future – something that
would scupper the lofty plans on some of
the world’s tech giants.
Flying at an altitude of up to 400ft and
clocking speeds of up to 60mph, with
sense-and-avoid technologies that help the
drones evade obstacles, Amazon claims
its Prime Air drone innovation would make
deliveries a near instantaneous affair, with
vertical take-off and landing on an Amazon
branded landing mat that doubles as a
homing beacon for the drone (although
deliveries to those living in a flat or a tower
block would be somewhat trickier). Tests
have begun, yet there has been no roll-out
date announced, as the company waits for
UAV regulation to catch up with the tech-
nology’s real-life potential.
Elsewhere Google’s Project Wing claims
to be building the ‘next generation of auto-
mated aircraft, and is working towards the
day when these vehicles deliver everything
from consumer goods to emergency medi-
cine – a new commerce system that opens
up universal access to the sky’. Such uni-
versality raises issues, of course, given that
the skies would become significantly more
crowded – and more hazardous – should
unknown numbers of consumer consign-
ments suddenly become airborne.
According to Dr Windsor Holden – the
research co-author of Juniper’s new report
– regulators would be extremely wary of
giving planned services such as Amazon
Prime and Google’s Project Wing the
green light, except as a means of deliv-
ering to isolated rural communities.
“Regulators are understandably con-
cerned that the deployment of delivery
drones in inner cities would significantly
increase the risk of potentially fatal colli-
sions with cars or even pedestrians,” Dr
Holden warned. Yet in more remote set-
tings, the viability seems greater for e-
commerce deliveries – German logistics
giant Deutsche Post-DHL, for example, is
exploring the use of ‘Parcelcopter’ drones
to deliver goods to tap the growing Indian
e-commerce market with a specific focus
on the smaller towns in which the firm
soon plans to set up operations.
Dark skies or bright prospects?
Beyond the risk of mid-air accidents over
crowded city skies, Juniper’s new report
also highlights a potential danger that
delivery drones could be hacked by terror-
ists, conceivably delivering an explosive
payload into areas where they would be
capable of causing high levels of civilian
casualties. Such concerns are not without
grounding. In October, Peshmerga fighters
operating against ISIS near Erbil, Iraq,
downed a small hobby drone, although
upon closer inspection were killed by a
bomb that it was carrying. With that inci-
dent, it is believed ISIS claimed its first
casualties using a weaponised hobby drone.
The ubiquity and cheapness of such tech-
nology (off-the-shelf consumer drones can
be acquired for as little as US$30) means
that such threats from terrorism and cyber-
attacks via drones are something lawmakers
will need to factor in to new legislation.
Certainly, in many places regulation is
having a hard time keeping up. While some
countries have clear, established drone
laws, many others do not – or the existing
regulations fail to take into account how
much the UAV landscape has changed in
recent years – both in terms of opportunity
and risk. What is clear is that unmanned
air-borne technology is emerging as a
smart and oft transformational driver
across a whole host of industries, with
many more likely to benefit in the future –
in those markets that get the regulatory
balance right. Carefully tailored legislation
that keeps pace as UAV tech sophisticates
should go a long way to ensuring aviation
safety and security, alongside providing
more certainty to commercial adopters and
developers of the technology alike. o
