HCSS has announced new features for HCSS Aerial, a drone-based data analytics platform. The update includes an integration with HCSS HeavyJob, improvements to calculations and measurements, annotation and designs, and navigation. New features optimize Tablet performance and improve user experience with the mobile device.
“Customers have asked us to allow HCSS Aerial measurements and quantities data be integrated with HCSS HeavyJob Project Management and Job Cost solution,” said J.P. Giometti, Vice President, Global Strategy and Corporate Development, HCSS. “We are Beta testing this integration and gathering feedback from clients before introduction. By integrating with HeavyJob, clients will be able to keep their jobs and budget on track with less expensive yet more accurate drone mapping.”
Features in the new update include:
- Create measurements and analytics from design items. Simultaneously, eliminate any errors that might occur from manual drawing areas or lines.
- Import images into HCSS Aerial to create a new annotation. The platform pins the annotation automatically, depending on the image's GPS position.
- Users can now make edits and adjust points in lines and polygons without starting any calculations. After editing is complete, click “Done” to recalculate measurements and analytics.
- Upload design files and notes before the first flight or while the flight is still being processed.
- A “Go to Coordinates” navigation tool can change a map display to a specific point.
- Measurement details on top for tablets optimizes the small screen and allows users to choose between side navigation and a top-mounted calculation detail box.
