Redbird targets three key markets: Geospatial (construction, mining and quarrying), Network Supervision (network infrastructures), and Agribusiness (precision agriculture). In the Network supervision market, Redbird was the first French UAV operator authorized for beyond line of sight flights in 2013 and has been developing a comprehensive network monitoring solution (railway, power lines, pipelines) including an advanced vegetation monitoring. In the Geospatial market, backed by the Monnoyeur group (Caterpillar dealer), Redbird has developed a world-first quarry monitoring solution which enhances productivity and safety compliance. This workshop will focus upon the opportunities for using UAVs within the Geospatial, Infrastructure and Agribusiness industries. Thibaut Miquel, Business Development Manager, Redbird 24
