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.

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

S. 2388, the Water Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2025, would double an EPA water tech pilot to $50 million a year through 2028. Grants would cover design, construction, training and operations for leak detection, advanced metering and AI analytics, WaterWorld reported. Planning and maintenance stay on the utility's tab.

  • 01Under S. 2388 as WaterWorld describes it, feasibility studies are not grant-eligible, so a utility would have to pay to build the case for a smart water project before applying for help building the project itself.
  • 02The bill's eligible list puts advanced digital design and construction management tools in the same bucket as meters and sensors, which would give a utility's capital delivery team a claim on the same grant as its field operations group.
  • 03The existing pilot program's authorization runs through 2026, per WaterWorld; the bill would extend it to 2028, and its last reported status was 'introduced' as of Aug. 12, 2025.

MEP systems can run 30-40% of a construction budget, ASCE course says

MEP systems can run 30-40% of a construction budget, ASCE course says

ASCE is running its two-day live webcast, Introduction to MEP Construction Management, on November 9-10, 2026, taught by Anthony E. Sparkling. ASCE says mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems can reach 30-40% of many construction budgets. The course targets owner's representatives, project managers and architects who manage those subcontractors. It carries 14 PDHs.

  • 01ASCE's 30-40% figure for MEP's share of many construction budgets is the reason owners should care: a large share of the check is signed on the strength of others' judgment.
  • 02The sharper question for a capital projects team: can the owner's representative read the mechanical and electrical sheets and follow a subcontractor's basic estimating units before bids come in?
  • 03The live webcast runs Nov. 9-10, 2026, with the next session not until Sept. 27-28, 2027; an on-demand version is available in between, and ASCE quotes group rates for five or more registrants.

CAS Automotive launches Damaged Equipment to sell fleets' damaged and end-of-life machines

CAS Automotive launches Damaged Equipment to sell fleets' damaged and end-of-life machines

CAS Automotive has officially launched Damaged Equipment, an on-demand remarketing service that gives fleets, dealers, rental companies and insurers a guaranteed offer on damaged, surplus and end-of-life machines. The service ran as a proof of concept from late 2025. It adds a fixed-offer channel next to auctions and trade-ins, though CAS has not published pilot volumes or pricing.

  • 01A guaranteed offer on a wrecked or worn-out machine is a new reference point fleets can hold against an auction estimate, a dealer trade-in or a parts-out before deciding where a unit goes.
  • 02Damaged Equipment now serves insurers and third-party administrators alongside fleets, dealers and rental companies, which puts one disposition channel in front of every party to a total-loss equipment claim.
  • 03The launch establishes the model and the buyer network but not the results: CAS Automotive has disclosed no volumes, recovery rates or turnaround times from its 2025 pilot, so the first test is a side-by-side quote on a real unit.
