Drone technology can give an impetus to the economy by adding value to many sectors. Clearly, drone technology can affect life on ground and throw light on aqua life through satellite imagery. It means that the drone technology should be powerful enough to achieve the desired results. AI-based drone data can facilitate various forms of transport to take informed decisions for routing journeys. Geospatial, computer science and location intelligence, along with drone technology, can give a value add to industries.

The National Geographic Database, maintained by OS, now contains half a billion geographic features with centimetre level accuracy and is updated over 20,000 times a day to keep up with changes. As these use cases have also showed, location data comes into its own when used as a backbone for pulling disparate data sets together to learn about the relationships between variables of an environment.But location intelligence is a major driver of sustainability efforts too. Geovation, a recent OS initiative in association with HM Land Registry, provides start-ups with grant funding, access to data, geospatial expertise and land and property information.The content OS generates is leveraged by not only the government and the public and business sectors of the United Kingdom, but also other countries around the world. OS is increasingly providing geospatial data for large-scale energy and sustainability projects such as the National Underground Asset Register.

ROSHN, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s national real estate developer, backed by the country’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), supports government efforts to increase the rates of homeownership while delivering high-quality living standards. The Saudi Arabia developer builds communities that look both to the nation’s heritage and growing resident aspirations. The agreement enables ROSHN to adopt Esri’s suite of geographic information system (GIS) products and solutions to improve the planning and development of 200 million square meters of sustainable neighbourhoods across Saudi Arabia. “This is an incredibly exciting development for ROSHN and the wider real estate sector,” said Sabah Barakat, ROSHN’s chief operating officer. “This will also support the transformation and development of geospatial practices and adoption of data standards within the region,” he added.

As noted by McKinsey in a recent article: “Although external data sources offer immense potential, they also present several practical challenges.“

To deliver maximum context, data experts must gain, verify, process data into the right format, and create references to the appropriate internal data. Insurers can share highly detailed post-weather event data, which enables claims teams to settle more claims with increased accuracy. They can also use the data to review and share recent past weather data within various territories. Once insurers have identified additional sources of external data, how do they ensure they are gaining joined-up insights?

For most organisations, adding additional location data to these addresses can be both valuable and profitable. From avoiding missed deliveries and service calls to plan routes between drop-offs and assessing the risks associated with a location, there are many reasons businesses may need to supplement their address data with location intelligence. Unique Property Reference Numbers are unique references given to address and non-address locations in the UK by the Ordnance Survey. As unique references, they can help organisations to build a trusted indexing system for all the addresses they hold. Whatever choices you make about location data will depend on the industry you are in, what logistical issues you face and what intelligence you want to derive from the world and your customers within it.

Location data is absolutely critical to such strategies, enabling leading enterprises to not only mitigate challenges, but unlock previously unseen opportunities. Throughout the COVID-19 recovery era, location data will be a core ingredient for driving business intelligence and building sustainable consumer loyalty. Advances in cloud-based location service are ushering in a new era of location intelligence by helping data engineers, analysts, and developers integrate location data into their existing infrastructure, build data pipelines, and reap insights more efficiently. Brands across industries are using cloud-native location data with other downstream cloud services.
