Wingtra announced the launch of WingtraCLOUD, an innovative software designed to revolutionize the way customers expand their drone programs and operations.
WingtraCLOUD promises to simplify data collection and streamline the onboarding of surveyors and pilots, delivering clear businessadvantages.
This new drone data planning and collaboration solution is set to address some of the most significant challenges faced by customers today. WingtraCLOUD offers a completely new and user-friendly flight planning experience, plus time-cutting features like site-based file organization, advanced 3D planning, coordinate system by sites and improved connectivity via cloud syncing. The WingtraCLOUD experience is rolling out to replace lots of software tools with one environment, providing an intuitive experience that goes beyond mere technical execution.
This not only streamlines operations, but also minimizes errors that fragmented workflows tend to introduce.Focused on simplifying and streamlining site setup and team collaboration, WingtraCLOUD’s features simplify and accelerate planning and introduce a new level of transparency among stakeholders with enhanced wireless functionality.
Customers can now enjoy synchronized field missions and provide insights to regional and global site managers across projects. As a result of this new environment, productivity will increase, since stakeholders of any expertise level can collaborate in real-time and make smarter decisions around complex mission plans and workflows. This means tighter, more timely communications and a significant reduction in errors. Wingtra’s vision with WingtraCLOUD is to create a complete ecosystem that enables customers to maximize the benefits of Wingtra aerial data and services. This will empower drone program scaling and more business advantages across all stakeholders, industries, and services.
“Our aim at Wingtra is to remove the complexity of managing and using advanced technologies,” said Marcos Bayuelo, EVP, Product at Wingtra. “This makes it intuitive for our customers to expand the benefits of aerial data across all areas of their businesses. “As a major step forward along these lines, WingtraCLOUD not only streamlines workflows for surveyors, but also opens the door to way more adoption of aerial data capture across industries and for all sizes of business. From enterprises, to engineering firms, to service professionals, this software is a game-changer that improves safety while making resource and asset management much more precise and efficient.”
Boosting overall productivity with WingtraCLOUD
Drone data, while powerful, has been limited by overly complicated software used to plan, process, and share insights. WingtraCLOUD addresses these limitations by offering features such as:
- Avoiding version control issues by allowing any permitted stakeholder to access any project from anywhere, anytime
- Organizing flights and files intuitively according to projects, enabling quick access to the latest insights with one click
- Empowering even junior pilots to fly with confidence and precision using direct import of background maps and simple 3D flight features
- Ensuring no re-flights or surprises in data through preflight accuracy checks and intuitive elevation graphs with color-coded GSD and AGL height indicators
- Fly with confidence knowing that your base station and checkpoints are set up thanks to a ground-setup pre-flight assessment feature
- Optimizing ground setups with preflight confirmations using WingtraCLOUD planning tools
- No more coordinate transformation hassles: now you can set the the specifications for the site and WingtraCLOUD will automatically apply them
“We’ve spoken with customers across a range of sectors working for the most successful yet pressurized companies in their industries,” said Philip Santa, Lead UX Designer at Wingtra. “We’ve taken their feedback to heart and blended it with the expertise of dozens of engineers to bring ease-of-use to the next level. The result is very exciting, as WingtraCLOUD offers what we see as the most intuitive, engaging and value-add software on the market today. Stay tuned for each feature as we introduce it carefully for maximum use and impact.”
WingtraCLOUD aims to make the adoption and scaling of drone data as smooth as possible, delivering benefits from day one. It brings stakeholders and teams into closer collaboration throughout the life of a project and simplifies training to minimize integration challenges. The productivity gains are evident as teams work more cohesively.
“WingtraCLOUD has made nearly every step of my photogrammetry process simpler,” said Lucas Veteto, UAS and survey technician and DJ&A, P.C. “From flight planning and preparation, to field data collection, safety, and post-processing. With WintraCLOUD I can fly more sites and cover more area in a day with less fiddling with USB drives on site or in the office.”
With WingtraCLOUD, site managers can plan complex areas and delegate flights to less-experienced surveyors. Changes made by these surveyors in the field can be immediately evaluated by managers. Progress updates are available in
real-time, allowing higher-level stakeholders to sync and check project status from anywhere in the world without waiting for time-zone aligned calls.
