Zeru Drones offers a SaaS platform that plans and runs autonomous drone swarms to collect high‑resolution RGB, LiDAR, multispectral, and thermal imagery for aerial inspections. AI‑driven processing converts the data into georeferenced point clouds, orthomosaics, 3D meshes and BIM models, which can be exported through REST/Webhook APIs for construction, utility, infrastructure and environmental applications.

Problem
Manual aerial inspections are labor‑intensive, expose personnel to safety risks, and often produce fragmented data that must be manually processed and integrated into engineering workflows. Regulatory constraints and the need for high‑resolution, multi‑sensor data further limit the efficiency of traditional inspection methods.
Solution
Zeru Drones offers a SaaS platform that orchestrates autonomous drone swarms to perform end‑to‑end inspections. Users define missions through a web interface that automatically generates flight paths, respects air‑space regulations, and coordinates multiple UAVs. During flight, the system captures RGB, LiDAR, multispectral, or thermal imagery and streams telemetry in real time. After the mission, AI‑driven pipelines convert raw data into georeferenced point clouds, orthomosaics, 3D meshes, and BIM models, and produce incident reports with severity tags. The resulting deliverables are available within hours and can be exported to GIS, CAD, or CMMS systems via REST/Webhook APIs, enabling rapid decision‑making and predictive maintenance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are construction contractors, energy utilities, infrastructure operators, and environmental agencies that require high‑precision aerial inspections and rapid digital‑twin generation for monitoring, compliance, and maintenance planning.
