Customer Success Story
At Drone Harmony, we take pride in enabling professionals across industries to optimize their aerial operations. We recently spoke with Tomislav Korenika, CEO of Skynomads, a leading drone service provider based in Zagreb, Croatia. Skynomads specializes in LiDAR mapping, ortho-photo mapping, infrastructure inspections, and precision agriculture. Tomislav shared how Drone Harmony has transformed their workflow, increasing project efficiency , consistency, and safety.
Boosting Operational Efficiency
Skynomads has leveraged Drone Harmony in multiple projects, including LiDAR mapping, ortho-photo mapping, and infrastructure inspections—one key project involved mapping an area for a private 5G network setup. While LiDAR required specialized workflows, Drone Harmony’s automated mission planning streamlined the ortho-photo mapping process. By predefining flight paths with precision, the team focused on data collection rather than manual flight planning, resulting in high-quality, consistent data over large areas.
Another primary application was inspecting a building facade before and after construction work. The team conducted a detailed pre-construction inspection to document the facade’s condition, identify weak spots, and assist in renovation planning. They used Drone Harmony’s automated flight paths to replicate the initial scans post-construction, ensuring a precise comparison. This approach provided the client with a transparent quality assurance report and a valuable reference for future maintenance.
Drone Harmony also played a vital role in an agricultural mapping project. The Skynomads team generated high-resolution maps to help a client plan precision planting, irrigation, and long-term monitoring of cultivated land. Drone Harmony’s mission-planning automation and accuracy enabled them to deliver comprehensive datasets tailored for precision agriculture applications.
Streamlining Data Management & Workflow
Handling large amounts of aerial data efficiently is crucial to Skynomads' operations. Drone Harmony has helped streamline their workflow by reducing human error and integrating seamlessly with their existing GIS and photogrammetry pipelines. The 3D flight planning interface has been handy, allowing the team to visualize flight paths in advance and ensuring the collection of all necessary data with minimal field adjustments.
The automated vertical scanning feature has been a game-changer for infrastructure inspections. Instead of manually flying close to structures, the team can predefine precise scan patterns, ensuring optimal coverage while reducing risks. This results in high-quality, consistent imagery that enhances post-processing efficiency.
Ease of Adoption & User Experience
Implementing Drone Harmony initially involved a slight learning curve, but the intuitive interface, comprehensive documentation, and responsive customer support facilitated a smooth transition. The ability to quickly set up missions with complete control over flight parameters has significantly increased field efficiency for Skynomads.
Overcoming Key Challenges
Before adopting Drone Harmony, Skynomads faced several operational hurdles:
Manually planning complex drone missions was time-consuming and led to inconsistencies.
Conducting safe and compliant close-proximity inspections of infrastructure was challenging.
Managing and processing large volumes of aerial data efficiently was difficult.
Drone Harmony addressed these challenges by:
Providing precise, automated mission planning for improved consistency.
Enabling safe and controlled flight paths through advanced 3D planning tools.
Offering features that integrate seamlessly with post-processing workflows, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
As drone services expand in Croatia—especially in infrastructure inspections, precision agriculture, and GIS mapping—the need for automated mission planning is more significant than ever. Drone Harmony is an essential part of our growing operations, providing continuous updates and strong enterprise support that make it a reliable and future-ready solution for our business.
