DGCA-Compliant Industrial UAV Programmes

Drone Solutions for Inspection, Mapping and Warehouse Inventory

Capture aerial data faster and more safely than manual methods. We deliver industrial drone programmes covering inspection, survey and mapping, agriculture, security and autonomous warehouse inventory counting, with AI analytics, DGCA-compliant operations and integration with your GIS, ERP and WMS.

What Are Drone Solutions?

Drone solutions use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fitted with cameras and sensors to capture data from the air or from hard-to-reach indoor spaces, and software to turn that data into inspections, maps, measurements and alerts. A complete drone solution includes the aircraft (multirotor for close inspection and indoor work, fixed-wing or VTOL for large-area mapping), payloads (RGB, thermal, multispectral, LiDAR, zoom and gas sensors), flight planning and autonomy software, data processing (photogrammetry, 3D modelling, AI detection) and integration with GIS, ERP, WMS or asset management systems.

In India, commercial drone operations are governed by the Drone Rules, 2021 and the Digital Sky platform: drones are type-certified and registered with a Unique Identification Number (UIN), pilots hold a Remote Pilot Certificate from a DGCA-approved organisation, and flights follow the airspace map's green, yellow and red zones with permissions where required. Indoor drones, such as warehouse inventory drones that scan barcodes and RFID tags on high racks, operate outside controlled airspace and are among the fastest-growing applications because they remove the need for manual cycle counts at height.

AIDC Solutions, the AIDC practice of Aeologic Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Noida, delivers drone programmes end to end: use case definition, platform and payload selection, compliance and pilot arrangements, data processing and AI analytics, and integration with your systems. Warehouse inventory drones combine naturally with our barcode and RFID solutions, and aerial inspection data feeds the same analytics as our computer vision and Industrial IoT platforms.

Faster Data Collection

Inspect a solar plant, survey a site or count a warehouse aisle in a fraction of the time manual methods take.

Safer Operations

Keep people off towers, roofs, stacks and high racks; drones take the risk out of inspections and counts at height.

Measurable, Repeatable Data

Georeferenced imagery, 3D models and AI-detected defects give engineers and auditors evidence they can compare over time.

How We Deliver a Drone Programme

From use case to compliant operations and integrated data, in five steps.

  1. Use Case and Feasibility

    Define inspection, mapping, agriculture, security or inventory goals, assess sites, airspace zones and indoor conditions, and set data deliverables.

  2. Platform and Payload Selection

    Choose multirotor, fixed-wing, VTOL or indoor drones and payloads (RGB, thermal, multispectral, LiDAR, scanners) suited to the mission.

  3. Compliance and Pilot Readiness

    Arrange UIN registration, certified remote pilots, flight permissions where needed, SOPs and safety procedures under the Drone Rules, 2021.

  4. Data Processing and Analytics

    Process imagery into orthomosaics, 3D models and reports, apply AI for defect, crop or object detection, and build dashboards.

  5. Integration and Scale

    Integrate outputs with GIS, ERP, WMS or asset systems, train teams and scale flights across sites with scheduled missions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers to common questions about industrial drone programmes in India

Drone solutions use unmanned aerial vehicles with cameras and sensors, plus flight and data software, to perform inspections, surveys, crop monitoring, surveillance and warehouse inventory counts. They deliver faster, safer and more repeatable data than manual methods and integrate with GIS, ERP, WMS and asset systems.

Yes. Commercial drone operations are permitted under the Drone Rules, 2021. Drones must be type-certified and registered on the Digital Sky platform with a Unique Identification Number, remote pilots need a certificate from a DGCA-approved training organisation, and flights follow airspace zone rules with permissions where required. We handle compliance as part of the programme.

Indoor autonomous drones fly pre-planned paths along racking, scanning barcodes, QR codes or RFID tags and photographing each location. Counts are reconciled against the WMS and variance reports highlight missing, misplaced or empty locations. Flights run off-shift, removing the need for forklifts or ladders for cycle counts at height.

Radiometric thermal cameras detect temperature differences that indicate faults: hotspots on solar panels and electrical connections, moisture in roofs, blocked pipelines or overheating equipment. AI tags anomalies and generates reports so maintenance teams can act before failures.

With RTK or PPK positioning and ground control points, drone photogrammetry achieves 2 to 5 cm horizontal accuracy and similar vertical accuracy, suitable for topographic surveys, volumetrics and progress monitoring. LiDAR adds accuracy under vegetation and on featureless terrain.

Multirotors with thermal and zoom cameras suit inspections; fixed-wing or VTOL aircraft with RTK suit large-area mapping; multispectral sensors suit agriculture; and indoor autonomous drones with scanners suit warehouses. We select the platform and payload after defining the deliverables for each mission.

Yes. Maps, models and inspection reports export to GIS, CAD and BIM tools; defects feed asset management and CMMS systems; and inventory counts reconcile with WMS or ERP. Integration is delivered through standard formats and APIs.

Both options are available. We can operate programmes with certified remote pilots or help your team obtain Remote Pilot Certificates and set up SOPs, maintenance and flight logging for in-house operations.

Indoor flights within your premises are not restricted by airspace rules and are common for warehouse inventory. Outdoor night operations are possible under the Drone Rules with appropriate equipment and permissions, and thermal payloads are effective for night surveillance and inspections.

Cost depends on whether you need a service (per flight or per site) or an in-house programme (aircraft, payloads, training and software), the sensors required and the data processing and integration scope. Inspection and survey services are often charged per asset or per hectare. Share your sites and objectives for a detailed estimate.
