Its implementations have ranged from the printing press to the car production assembly line to the ATM – to name just a few. But automation has also instilled fear in many workers across a variety of industries. For decades, if not centuries, automation has been the boogeyman lurking around the corner, ready to steal jobs from the workforce. But what we must understand is that one of the primary purposes of automation is to automate a workforce’s monotonous and mundane tasks. One of its essential benefits is not to replace jobs but actually create them.":1,"#The functions and goals of automation are incredibly nuanced, and the narrative of “job-stealing robots” is a much trendier topic than “how automation has – and will – create jobs.” According to a 2018 <a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">World Economic Forum</strong></a> study, between 2018 and 2022, more than 75 million jobs could be lost as companies shift toward more automation. But this estimation comes with an upside: 133 million new jobs will emerge during that same period. Additionally, a <a ljsid-3=\"\"><strong ljsid-3-0=\"\">Deloitte study</strong></a> found that automation technologies eliminated 800,000 low-skilled jobs, but, in turn, created 3.5 million new jobs. Those new jobs: they paid an average of $13,000 more per year than the ones that were lost.":1,"#How Drone Technology and Automation Help Create Jobs | DroneDeploy":1,"#Automation can replace some work in job sectors":1,"#In 1913, the Ford Motor Company introduced a car production <a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">assembly line </strong></a>– still considered to be one of the most influential pioneers in automation. The assembly line cut the time it took to build a car from 12 hours to 90 minutes. The time saved improved Ford’s production rates as well as increased its profits.":1,"#The same can be said about the introduction of the ATM. Many bank tellers feared they would lose their jobs as more ATMs popped up around the country. Like Ford, though, with the influx of ATMs, <a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">banks were able to open up more branches</strong></a> and hire more employees to staff those banks because of this new form of automation.":1,"#Low-skilled jobs at the greatest risk of redundancy":1,"#If you're interested in learning more about drones' role in automation, download our State of the Drone Market 2020 <a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">Report</strong></a>.":1,"#In the short term (and on paper), automation can seem like a bully to the workforce: new forms of technology are looking to replace American jobs and severely spike the unemployment rate. But history has proven these fears aren’t necessarily warranted. “The dire predictions that robots are going to take our jobs are overstated,” says <a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">Susan Lund</strong></a>, McKinsey Global Institute’s director of research. “There will be enough jobs for everyone in most sectors.”":1,"#Companies are increasingly leaning in to new technologies and automation as a way to improve their operations. Those technologies are here, they exist, and they’re ready to be embraced – and the time is now to embrace them. Automation is an uneasy topic for many companies, workers, and industries, but it shouldn’t scare them, it should empower them.":1,"#In the wake of the pandemic, drone technology has proved invaluable for companies, repeatedly referred to as the “<a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">perfect socially distant worker.</strong></a>” It has allowed agriculture companies to reduce the number of agronomists they put into fields while providing them more significant insights into their crops. Drone data has helped construction companies easily track their assets and monitor site progress if they had to shut down operations because of the shelter-in-place. Drones have enabled energy companies to perform faster inspections and keep workers out of harm’s way on a job site. And for the utility industry specifically, a <a ljsid-3=\"\"><strong ljsid-3-0=\"\">Capgemini report</strong></a> found automation offers the potential to save between $237 billion and $813 billion globally over the next three years. Drone technology grants companies the ability to automate their practices, which has been incredibly beneficial for the ever-evolving new work arrangements.":1,"#In 1914, rather than replace workers because of automation, Ford looked to improve labor productivity further. The company introduced the $5 daily wage for an 8-hour day, replacing the previous $2.34 for a 9-hour day. Because of this influx in profits, Ford increased production considerably, opening more assembly lines across the United States (and, eventually, globally). The surge in production plants meant Ford had to hire more workers to produce more cars.":1,"#If industries adopt automation best practices and embrace new technologies to advance their operations, history has shown these practices enable them to grow, achieve financial vibrancy, and, yes, create more job opportunities in the process.":1,"#Robot use globally - Oxford Economics":1,"#This is not to say there won’t be challenges along the way. The same report from the <a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">World Economic Forum</strong></a> verifies that a critical challenge for grappling with the future of work will be outfitting staff with new skills. Workers unwilling, or unable, to learn new skills will consequently become redundant. Redundancies in the workforce is an unfortunate inevitability, but by teaching workers new skills, there is a potential reduction in its impact. The report went on to specify, “To prevent an undesirable lose-lose scenario – technological change accompanied by talent shortages, mass unemployment, and growing inequality – it is critical that businesses take an active role in supporting their existing workforces through reskilling and upskilling.” For a company to not only survive but thrive, it must foster in new workplace flexibilities and train its staff on new crafts and best practices.":1,"#icon":1,"#Watch this <a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">webinar</strong></a> to hear from industry experts leading the charge to integrate drones into construction project management.

From estimating to coordination, orthomosaics improve team alignment and reduce onsite miscommunication.":1,"#Orthomosaic maps: the foundation of site intelligence":1,"#By replacing outdated site documentation with automated, high-accuracy aerial imagery, drone mapping gives project managers what they need most: fast insights, reliable measurements and full visibility – without setting foot on site.":1,"#Together, these tools provide a unified reality capture solution that empowers drone pilots, surveyors and project managers alike.":1,"#A cloud platform like DroneDeploy to store and share visuals":1,"#Photogrammetry software for map processing":1,"#UAVs with RTK GPS for accuracy":1,"#Effective drone mapping requires:":1,"#What makes drone mapping work: the key components":1,"#Many <a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">construction projects</strong></a> have avoided six-figure change orders by identifying discrepancies early. Real-time documentation has become a financial safeguard.":1,"#The benefits of drone mapping go beyond speed. Accurate drone data minimizes over-ordering of materials, reduces errors and simplifies subcontractor billing. This means fewer disputes and better budget adherence.":1,"#Real cost savings, not just efficiency":1,"#Using RTK drones for aerial surveys allows construction teams to produce high-resolution outputs with centimeter-level precision – essential for verifying earthwork, slab elevation and utility placement.":1,"#The construction industry runs on precision and speed. But traditional surveying methods slow teams down and leave too much room for error. That’s why <a ljsid-1=\"\"><strong ljsid-1-0=\"\">drone mapping software</strong></a> has become a go-to tool for forward-thinking general contractors.":1,"#Orthomosaic maps generated from drone mapping are orthorectified, meaning they are adjusted for lens distortion, tilt and terrain variation. That ensures uniform scale for accurate distance and area calculations.":1,"#Precision that builds confidence":1,"#Drone flights can happen during working hours, eliminating downtime. Data is uploaded instantly to the cloud, and stakeholders can access the results from anywhere. One contractor replaced a full day of manual inspections with a 15-minute drone flight – saving five man-hours per site visit.":1,"#<a ljsid-0=\"\"><strong ljsid-0-0=\"\">Drone mapping software</strong></a> is built for fast turnarounds. One drone can scan a 100-acre site in less than an hour, enabling project managers to move faster without compromising detail.":1},"version":19963}]
