Singapore companies have started testing commercial drones
Singapore has vigorously develops drone high-tech technology, will launch a large number of drones for logistics and transportation, building exploration and safety inspections, but the security and privacy issues brought about by drone applications have also triggered Less opponents.
It is understood that the Singapore government has had a special area of more than 200 hectares (500 acres), with high-rise buildings and shopping centers in the region, and related technology companies have begun to test commercial drones.
We know that the Lion City Singapore is the fourth largest international financial center after New York, London, and Hong Kong, which naturally has a strong inclusion and acceptance ability such as "trend technology" such as drone. In addition, drones can also be impressed into this country into new strength and solve the problem of human shortage. Yes, in this developed country with only 5.6 million people, the shortage of manpower is very prominent, so that this country needs to rely on many low-income foreign immigrant workers to meet their labor needs.
Now, as the business use of drone is expanded in various fields such as crop sprinkling and insurance claims, Singapore government is also determined to be a big man in the field of drone.
It is understood that the Singapore Civil Aviation Authority has begun to issue measures to support the project, which is known that it has recognized that the drone has the potential of "changing mobility and logistics", and is working with industry insiders to seek regulations to develop the industry.
Drone building check
In the nearest test, a drone is in the air, photographing the photo facade, aiming to test an automatic inspection system instead of artificial inspection of urban high-rise buildings. H3 Zoom is responsible for the test, and his chief technology officer Shawn Koo said: "The existing architectural inspection process is very slow, expensive, cumbersome, and is prone to accidents, producing personnel fatigue and human error."
In the past, this examination usually hired a worker from South Asia or Southeast Asia. Workers were placed on a workbench hanging outside the building, and the workbench was connected to the building with a building, which is very dangerous.
Engineers monitor drones send real-time video in Singapore Command Center
The new system will utilize high-resolution images taken by drones and analyze to check the defects, and check only a few days rather than a few weeks. It is understood that H3 Zoom hopes to launch inspections next year.
Drone security
The drone is also used as security by the local company St Aerospace.
In its command center, the screen is displayed in an analog security vulnerability in a fence. Among them, a black drone is deployed, which transmits real-time images while tracking intruders, indicating that security personnel arrested him.
Drone logistics
Another experiment tested drone parcel transport. The hospital operator plans to use these equipment to transport blood samples and specimens between hospitals and central laboratories.
But the vision of drone applications is also facing heavy obstacles. The prospects in your apartment or office suddenly emerged from the privacy of land scarce cities.
The video released on social media in September shows a consumer-free drone Flying near residential building, an angry Singaporean calls for the police to investigate, and some private apartments have been prohibited from using these devices.
Shawn Koo from H3 Zoom recognizes that many people still have "misunderstanding" to drones: "Some people may think that this is a spy tool, others may think that no chance will cause harm."
Security Question
It is understood that consumer drones are very popular in Singapore, but in some cases, they need a license for relevant departments.
Commercial drones put forward more challenges in safety, because their flight distance is far from the sight of the human "pilot". In addition, it is also necessary to plan a route path and use private communication channels, and we must build a starting and landing site.
TEONG SOO Soon, director of the ST AEROSPACE UAV Business Department, said: "The main challenge is to solve the risk of local staff and the risk of airplane flights in the air, and the risk of colliding with buildings."
Some residents also actively supervise drone use, and beware of the violation of the drone near the apartment building.
In short, although the Singapore government has a ambitious plan for drone, all ideas is still taken for a while. Simply task such as architectural inspection and safety monitoring will begin commercialization next year. It is like requested that the drone security leaps the entire Singapore project (such as logistics transport), which may require three to four years.
Despite this, the industry still sees the bright future. And there are also South American customers asking their technologies.
A successful Singapore story will help them promote their drone systems international. , Read the full article: Original title: Singapore government focuses on drone industry, can national "transformation"?
