Customer Problem

Raptor Maps needed consistent, accurate and timely thermal data from across the country and turned to FlyGuys for a solution. Without the use of drones, gathering data for solar panel analytics is a labor-intensive process which requires manually inspecting each panel. Raptor was looking for a faster, cheaper, and more scalable approach to conducting these inspections.

Aurora Solution

Aurora performs flights coast-to-coast for Raptor Maps delivering raw thermal data which is then analyzed and used to create extensive reports.

Customer Outcome

Raptor Maps has become one of our largest clients and partners. As we are able to gather the data they rely on, Raptor Maps increased their focus on what they do best – analytics. Their partnership with FlyGuys has eliminated the need for an internal UAV department, resulting in less overhead and headache.
