The folks at DJI aren't content with being the leading company in a sector poised for enormous growth in the coming months and years; they're also boldly signing any kind of collaboration agreement and even investing in other companies that could exponentially increase the capabilities of their drones. This time, we've learned that DJI has just signed an agreement with DroneDeploy to develop specific software for certain market segments.
Going into a bit more detail, since DJI is practically a household name by now, DroneDeploy is a company dedicated to developing drone software, specializing primarily in thermal and 3D mapping. Thanks to this, the merger of these two companies represents a significant step forward in the capabilities and use of DJI drones for infrastructure inspection , one of the industrial applications where drone use is most in demand.

The agreement stipulates that DJI will market its Inspire model alongside the Zenmuse XT camera . This hardware combination will enable the creation of highly accurate thermal maps. DroneDeploy, for its part, will develop a new tool that allows any user to comprehensively monitor the condition of a terrain area using 3D mapping. Furthermore, by tapping on a specific area, the app will display the four most recent snapshots of that location.
