Operations in the oil and gas industry are complex and dangerous. They require operators to know and understand the hazards and risks of working with flammable and toxic materials and heavy machinery. Drone software like VOTIX enhances situational awareness that can prevent oil spills, gas leaks, explosions, thefts, and other accidents with catastrophic consequences. Drones offer additional visualization, data, and assistance unavailable in the past to survey, inspect, surveil, and monitor operations in real time. With drone software, operators enhance their workflows to collaborate with expert teams offsite in real-time and even launch autonomous operations for hard-to-access or toxic sites.
