As drones have evolved, so has the scale of data they capture — but more data doesn’t always mean better outcomes. In this article, we explore the rising challenge of over-capture in drone facade inspections and how the industry can shift toward a more efficient, insight-driven approach. From smarter planning to leaner workflows, it’s time to prioritise quality over quantity.

In this article we'll help you understand vertical overlap and why it's essential for accurate drone mapping and inspections. We will break down what vertical overlap is, why it matters for building facades and complex 3D models, and how you can optimise your drone missions for the best results. Whether you're flying manually or using automated tools like Hammer Missions, mastering overlap will transform your inspection accuracy.

In this article, we talk about the real cost of facade inspections using traditional methods and what you can do about it.
