FlytBase and gNext Partner to Automate Asset Inspection Workflows and Save More Time

San Jose, California (USA), September 30, 2024: FlytBase, a global leader in

drone autonomy software, has announced a strategic partnership with gNext, an
AI-driven photogrammetry platform specializing in asset inspection. This
collaboration allows FlytBase users to effortlessly transfer drone-captured data to
the gNext platform, optimizing infrastructure asset management while reducing
the need for manual input.

AI-Assisted Docked Drone Data Collection & Processing Solution for
Asset Inspection
Aging infrastructure presents growing challenges for asset management, with
traditional inspection methods often being time-consuming, costly, and posing
safety risks to personnel. The need for more efficient and scalable solutions is
crucial as asset owners struggle to maintain cost and functional efficiency while
ensuring safety and compliance. These issues are further compounded by the
vast scale of assets and the complexity of identifying potential faults manually.
With the introduction of FlytBase's gNext Flink integration, operators can conduct
and schedule routine inspection missions remotely and collect data on FlytBase
that can be seamlessly exported to gNext's cloud platform. In the gNext Platform,
operators can effortlessly select from 40+ pre-defined asset types, detect and
quantify defects in concrete structures with AI-powered InspectAssist™, and make
informed decisions within a single interface. With PlanView, Elevation, 2D/3D,
Contour, Point Cloud, DTM models, and reporting- gNext offers a full inspection
solution with scalability. The integration between FlytBase and gNext enables
operators to remotely analyze assets with enhanced accuracy and collaboration,
ensuring safer, more efficient, and reliable infrastructure management.
FlytBase also offers advanced automation features essential for docked drone
operations, complemented by robust flight safety and fleet management
capabilities. This enables users to perform reliable and consistent drone data
collection while effortlessly integrating with beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS)
hardware and software solutions, including parachutes, detect-and-avoid
systems, uncrewed traffic management, and weather monitoring systems,
ensuring safe operations.

Adhering to ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR standards, FlytBase and gNext
ensures top-tier data protection via network firewalls and offers flexible
deployment options to accommodate enterprise data privacy requirements.
"We're delighted to be partnered with FlytBase to deliver more seamless
workflows to our customers. With FlytBase's autonomous drone operations,
customers can easily upload their data into gNext for automatic processing for an
end-to-end workflow. And with gNext's AI-powered defect detection for concrete
structures, asset inspections are even more efficient than before," said Russ Ellis,
President of gNext.

"We are excited to partner with gNext to redefine infrastructure inspections. This
collaboration combines FlytBase's cutting-edge drone autonomy with gNext's
advanced AI-powered analysis, empowering users to achieve unparalleled
accuracy and efficiency in asset management. Together, we are setting a new
standard for the future of inspection automation." said Nitin Gupta, CEO &
Founder of FlytBase.

Join FlytBase and gNext for the latest webinar, titled ‘Streamlining
Infrastructure Inspections with Drone Docks and AI-Driven Defect Detection' on
the 8th of October at 10:00 AM CT (15:00 GMT).
