Drones are here to stay, and they’re making their presence felt in a wider variety of industries than ever before.

From mining to film, construction and much more, unmanned vehicles are collecting unprecedented amounts of data in real time and making it available for use. However, therein lies one of the blooming industry’s biggest challenges.

As more industries integrate drones and subsequent sensor data into daily operations and wireless network infrastructure evolves toward scaled 5G and next-gen WiFi, how will users maximize real-time drone analytics from surveying and more?

Voice of B2B Daniel Litwin sourced the insights of Jon Gaster in this episode of MarketScale TV. Gaster is the CEO of KSI Data Sciences, a company that delivers live video and telemetry data solutions, both as software and hardware, to connect professionals with on-site data from drones and other IoT devices.

The duo dove into use cases driving more adoption of drones, the challenges of managing data at the rugged edge and when there are multiple streams of real-time data coming in simultaneously, the opportunities being created by 5G’s expansion, security and safety risks, and much more.

They also spoke about the role drones could play in helping elevate first-response operations, which could help avoid or mitigate disasters.

Most MES programs are stuck at pilot scale, and that’s now an AI and cyber risk decision

Most MES programs are stuck at pilot scale, and that’s now an AI and cyber risk decision

A significant number of manufacturers have adopted Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) but the majority are only in the pilot stage. According to Rockwell, 93% of these manufacturers implement MES, yet only 23% have achieved full integration across all sites, potentially increasing AI and cybersecurity risks. The operational gap between those who have fully integrated MES and those who haven't continues to grow.

  • 0193% of manufacturers have adopted MES technology.
  • 02Only 23% of manufacturers have fully integrated MES across all sites.
  • 03The lack of full MES integration may elevate AI and cybersecurity risks.

Community college engineering programs can lift persistence by 16 points, but state funding swings are becoming an operational risk for employers

Community college engineering programs can lift persistence by 16 points, but state funding swings are becoming an operational risk for employers

Community college engineering programs have shown a significant improvement in student persistence, with a reported 16-point increase. However, fluctuations in state funding, as evidenced by North Carolina's budget cuts, pose a risk to this progress. These budgetary changes can affect the stability and operational efficiency of such educational programs.

  • 01Community college engineering programs can increase student persistence by 16 points.
  • 02State funding swings, like North Carolina's budget cuts, are an operational risk for educational programs.
  • 0315 campuses reported enrollment and persistence gains in their engineering pathways.
