 Welcome to InterGEO TV studio here in Frankfurt at InterGEO 2018 and welcome also Anil Nanduri we met the last years nice to have you again here vice president of Intel and general manager of the drone group. Thank you very much it's great to be back again. You had a great day yesterday the opening day that was the Congress about drones which is a very interesting topic for you especially. Yes I mean this is a first-ever European drone summit that was organized by the UAV dock and I think it was a great event with a very good you know attendee list and a wide range of topics that were covered yesterday about regulation about the readiness of drone technology and what are the challenges not only this industry but also different harmonization requirements that have to be addressed so we can bring this technology to broader scale and adoption. Looking on the industry at the present what has to be done. So we have been looking at it from a perspective you know I've been working in the industry over four years now and we started from an hardware and hardware getting more automated and interesting but if you look at the commercial use cases you think about utilities or construction industry more and more the workflows and what we are trying to replace have been decades of use and the people who are in those workflows today are not familiar with technology as much and what they really care about is applying technology to get answers. So automation and when we talk about automation it's the simplicity where all the technology is hidden and it's seamless to the user but it's the technology that's going to drive the automation but for the user it's going to be simple as simple as press a button and say I want to inspect this building and the automation should be able to handle the mission planning the drone should be able to fly and collect the right data at the right angles and resolution and ground sample distance the data should seamlessly move into the cloud be able to process AI should apply on it and analytics should work on it and then the user gets back a report saying hey here are the damages we see on this building it should be as simple as that. Having a look on the last situation somebody's talking it's a little bit confused. Yeah so there's different aspects and if coming from the US if you look at what US has taken an approach we had the part 107 rule it was the best first baseline for pilots in fact one of the requirements was you have to take a written test and become a certified UAS pilot or a remote pilot in the US you actually get something like a driver's license I think that approach on a worldwide scale in the EU today is there a license for a drone pilot and is there a EU standard for it not yet and I think these are the kinds of steps that have to be worked towards in trying to come up with a mechanism that is scalable. Concrete steps are the one thing technology and solutions are the two keywords but looking on the big picture what is for you the important perspective. So if you look at the industry you look at the opportunity what the drone industry is we've all seen huge amounts of economic value billions of dollars of opportunity wide-ranging use cases but if you look at the adoption and realization of that opportunity it's been a lot slower than people have anticipated but the fact doesn't change that the opportunity exists why because drones are going to make the operationals and the workflows safer faster and cheaper so that economic value is always going to be a key driver. The second thing we see is you see investment from regulatory bodies around the world. You look at the NASA with the UTM, FAA with the integration with the drone pilot program in the US, YASA and the you know European Union just put out the draft regulations. You start to see a lot of investment coming in from the regulatory bodies to actually move this forward. They're investing their resources and time to accelerate that process as well as lawmakers understand this and are also putting in frameworks to help move this forward. So you know you know as we think about the timelines the positive momentum is clearly there and what we had the industry have to do is make the technology seamless so it should be one-click button and you get the answers and the good thing is that the technology exists it's more about integration, software, AI and analytics to be applied. I think all the problems and the workflows have been we have solutions for it they just need to be integrated seamlessly and the drone systems are getting much much smarter if you look at it from five years ago to where we are and so I think from our standpoint and from Intel's perspective how can we make this automation process seamless that will help deploy with the various industry verticals and then regulation will come together and we all know regulation will happen and usually regulation is slightly behind where technology is but they do catch up and once we have that you will see scale. Looking shortly into the future with Intel which are the answers you just mentioned one of them you want to give with Intel for the industry for the market. So for us the ability to do this end to end and think about it is that a person doesn't need to care about what drone it is what solution it is he cares about the problems he needs to solve and for us the answer is through the aerial and global geospatial technology that the drones bring to the space is what's going to solve it and end of the day the IT person and the company are the business unit person is making sure that his problems are solved and he can make this a mainstream workflow for inspections. Anil and Dury I wish you a successful stay here at Intergeo nice to having you. Yeah the show looks like a great start and congratulations and yet another successful Intergeo. Thanks a lot. Thank you.
