Why Do Drone Pilots Love Drone Harmony’s Asset Inspector?

When we talk about drone-based asset inspections, we often view them from the perspective of engineers, data analysts, or utility managers. But what about the people actually in the field, flying the missions? This post takes a closer look at how Drone Harmony’s Asset Inspector transforms the drone-pilot experience.

Made for the Field

Drone Harmony’s Asset Inspector isn’t just inspection software with a few drone features tacked on. It’s designed from the ground up to support the needs of field teams. The app runs smoothly on controllers and is fully optimized for inspection workflows—with or without connectivity.

Efficient by Default

Pilots no longer need to juggle spreadsheets, notes, and folders. Asset Inspector makes the inspection process streamlined and repeatable:

• The sequencing of inspections is automated, showing the pilot exactly which assets to collect and in what order.

• Open assets are clearly indicated, so no pole or tower gets missed.

• There’s a mission type that’s right for every asset—fully automated, guided, or manual — no matter the complexity of the shot sheet, and it's adjustable to the environment around the asset.

• Always on pointer to the next asset - no delays searching for the next pole.

  
  

Focus on Flying, Not File Management

Pilots can do what they love: fly.

• Asset Inspector automatically organizes data, uploading images and metadata directly to the cloud (either Drone Harmony Cloud or the customer’s private storage).

• Built-in review tools let pilots check image sharpness and framing on-site, avoiding repeat visits.

• A built-in guide shows pilots how to position the drone for best capture—removing guesswork.

Smarter Tagging, Clearer Communication

Tagging issues and observations is easy:

• Mark "no access" to a pole directly in the app.

• Tag visible damage or potential risks with a few taps.

• Notes are immediately attached to the asset and synced for office teams to review.

More Poles Per Battery

With precise planning and optimized workflows, pilots can inspect more assets per flight:

• Less hovering and repositioning = less battery drain.

• No time wasted figuring out the next target or retaking blurry shots.

• That means fewer landings, fewer battery swaps, and more time in the air.

Field-Proven, Pilot-Approved

Asset Inspector is built with direct input from real-world users. Everything from UI layout to tagging tools is designed for the realities of the field. The result?

• Safer, more efficient flights.

• More confidence for the pilot.

• And better data for the teams back at the office.

“With Asset Inspector, I spend less time figuring out what to fly and more time actually flying. Everything is right there — the sequence, the image checks, the tagging. It makes my job easier and the results more reliable.”

— Jordan M., Field Pilot, U.S.

With Asset Inspector, drone pilots can focus on flying safely, capturing high-quality data, and doing what they do best — without the hassle of manual planning, data sorting, or file transfers.

It's no wonder pilots love Drone Harmony’s Asset Inspector!
