About Us at Drone Services Ireland
About Us - Why we started operating commercially.
Drone Services Ireland was established in 2016 to meet the needs of the growing drone industry in Ireland. Drones are used for wide and varied purposes, and new ways to innovate are developed every day in this rapidly expanding sector. Drone Services Ireland is focused on these expanding sectors. In industries such as Construction, drone mapping is used to perform manual tasks and provide a safer workplace.
The advances in sensors and cameras, called payload, are rapidly changing. New technology is released almost weekly. This ever-changing industry enhances the functionality of drones in modern business. It is our mission to help customers to develop their businesses. Expanding the business with drone technology at the core to improve productivity. Improved decision-making and increased co-worker safety are some of the key benefits.
Drones can save lives by taking workers out of harm’s way. Where once they needed to climb scaffolding, now a drone can be the eye in the sky without the risk. There are hundreds of use cases, and new and innovative ways are developed daily. Drones can do dangerous tasks that humans currently do at significant risk.
Due to our experience with complex sensors, drones and missions, we often operate drones for other organisations. We provide the piloting skills and expertise to complete some of the most complex operations.
We provide services that make the most of drone technology. Sometimes, we can go where helicopters and manned aircraft can’t. Due to drones’ smaller footprint, we can safely interact with manned aircraft and do the job.
We work with the Irish Aviation Authority to provide Ireland’s most professional drone services.
