Participating UAV partners

Flylogix

FlyLogix provides commercial beyond-the-horizon inspection services for the offshore energy industry. FlyLogix is able to obtain imagery of an offshore platform or gas readings from around the facility without the cost and risk of mobilising crew offshore. FlyLogix hold the record for the longest commercial drone flight in the UK and its customers include major international and independent oil and gas companies. In the UAV Pop-up Lab, it will use satellite connectivity to enable realtime video transmission directly from the UAV to engineering teams onshore, improving decision making and mission efficiency.
