The document discusses drone usage across various industries for enterprise inventory management. It finds that drone usage is growing and can be used to inventory sites more often, minimize data fluctuations, and get great imagery at low cost. However, drones have negatives for sites near military bases, airports, with lots of covered materials, or dispersed geographically. The future may see larger companies deploying drones at scale but it is unclear if they will use internal pilots or outsource. Low-cost drones may compete with commercial drones.
