Identified Challenges in Drone Data Processing and Client Service Efficiency

The client faces difficulties in efficiently processing large volumes of aerial images captured by drones, managing complex organizational structures, providing real-time support, and integrating diverse data sources. The existing system's performance limitations hinder rapid deployment of new features, scalability, and seamless client experience, especially as the demand for inspection and data analytics services grows across multiple regions.

About the Client

A mid-to-large technology-driven company specializing in aerial inspection solutions for renewable energy sites, infrastructure, and property management, seeking to enhance its drone data processing, client analytics, and operational support systems.

Key Goals for Enhancing Drone Inspection and Data Management Systems

  • Implement a robust orthomosaic stitching feature to enable comprehensive panoramic and map-superimposed imagery from drone captures.
  • Develop an internal analytics dashboard to allow clients to view order statistics, mission completion times, and other relevant metrics.
  • Create an organizational structure module for multi-tiered access control and custom package management across different client organizations.
  • Enable direct admin support functionality for efficient troubleshooting through temporary private sessions with real-time problem visualization.
  • Design a dedicated mobile app for drone pilots to upload photos offline, with automated categorization and synchronization features.
  • Integrate with external mapping and GIS systems to overlay imagery on client-specific maps for enhanced visualization and analysis.
  • Upgrade underlying system architecture to the latest framework versions, ensuring security, performance, and maintainability.
  • Support multi-region payment processing and legal entity management for diverse international markets.
  • Facilitate migration to modern frontend frameworks to improve UI maintainability and user experience.
  • Develop or enhance desktop applications to streamline media uploads, inspection, sorting, and synchronization workflows.

Core Functional Capabilities for Advanced Drone Inspection Platform

  • Orthomosaic and panoramic image stitching to visualize drone imagery in map overlays.
  • Client-specific analytics dashboard displaying order metrics, mission durations, and statistical data.
  • Organizational hierarchy management with role-based access control and custom package offerings.
  • Admin support module allowing live, private support sessions with real-time problem visualization.
  • Mobile application for drone pilots enabling offline photo uploads and automatic categorization.
  • Integration with external GIS and mapping services to showcase images on client-specific maps.
  • Multinational payment processing support via legal entities in multiple countries.
  • System upgrade to the latest software frameworks for enhanced security and performance.
  • Migration of legacy frontend interfaces to contemporary frameworks, such as React.js.
  • Development of cross-platform desktop applications to simplify media upload, inspection, and synchronization processes.

Preferred Technologies and Architectural Approaches

Ruby on Rails (latest versions, e.g., Rails 7)
React.js for frontend development
Electron for cross-platform desktop application development
AWS services including EC2, S3, and ElasticSearch for scalable backend infrastructure
Sidekiq for background job processing
SendGrid or similar for email notifications
Exiftool for image metadata processing
Aasm for state management
GeoJSON and KRPano for GIS and map visualization

External System Integrations Needed

  • GIS and mapping services (e.g., ESRI ArcGIS) for overlaying imagery on geographic maps
  • Payment gateway systems supporting multi-region accounts
  • CRM platforms like Salesforce for customer data synchronization
  • Drone hardware APIs for image and video data ingestion
  • Authentication and security services for user management

Non-Functional System Requirements

  • System should support high performance with at least 2x operational speed improvements over legacy systems
  • Scalable architecture to handle increasing volumes of drone images and client data
  • Security protocols compliant with international standards for data privacy and payment processing
  • Availability and uptime targets of 99.9% for client-facing modules
  • Maintainability and ease of updates through modular architecture and recent technology stacks

Anticipated Business Benefits of the New Drone Data Platform

The new platform aims to significantly reduce manual work for drone pilots by approximately 15%, double the system development speed, and improve admin dashboard responsiveness by 50%. These enhancements will enable the client to deploy new features more quickly, serve a larger client base across multiple regions, and uphold a high standard of security and reliability—ultimately driving greater operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and market competitiveness.
