The Problem: The "Data Graveyard" If you’ve ever worked with drone-based aerial inspections, you know the struggle: flight time is the easy part. The real bottleneck is the "data graveyard" that follows. You end up with terabytes of high-resolution imagery, and the manual process of scrubbing through every single frame to identify corrosion, cracks, or thermal anomalies is labor-intensive and prone to human error. For infrastructure managers and engineers, scaling inspections isn't about flying
