Percepto Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for Accelerating Clients’ Decision-Making with its Emerging Technology-led Autonomous Drone Solution

Leave a comment

Percepto incorporates proprietary AI, ML, and analytics capabilities into its solutions to execute and manage events autonomously and ultimately, reduce operational downtime

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent analysis of the global autonomous drones market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Israel-based Percepto with 2020 Global Enabling Technology Leadership Award for its best-in-class, end-to-end autonomous drone-in-a-box solution. Comprising the Sparrow drone, Percepto Base, and comprehensive data management and analytics software, the Percepto Solution performs a range of tasks such as inspections, measurements, and surveillance. Its proprietary advanced analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), computer vision, and machine learning (ML) boosts the functionality and value of the platform, giving it a significant competitive edge over other solutions.

Percepto
Percepto

“Operators can remotely start, monitor, and complete tasks with Percepto’s autonomous, intelligent drones through the cloud-based, user-intuitive dashboard, allowing them to continue their business operations from anywhere in the world,” said Michael Blades Industry Analyst and VP of Aerospace, Defense & Security. “It notifies operators in real time, enabling operations and security teams to respond to incidents proactively, ultimately optimizing productivity, safety, and security. Further, it monitors a client’s worksite for any external interference, such as a malicious or unauthorized individual, drone, or vehicle; safety risks such as leaking pipes, or improper safety practices such as an employee not wearing a hard hat or high-visibility safety vest.” The main cost savings comes from consistent and persistent inspection, proactive monitoring and active reporting that the system provides.

Meanwhile, with the outbreak of COVID-19, businesses are rethinking their business continuity strategies, their ability to maintain efficiencies while many employees cannot get to the site, and the response to emergencies. In this scenario, autonomous solutions that take critical actions on behalf of operators are emerging as new best practices, The Percepto Solution’s ability to operate in harsh weather conditions and integrate seamlessly with third-party technologies makes it the ideal tool for operators in diverse industries including automotive, critical infrastructure, defense, industrial, mines, ports, and utilities.

The company works closely with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States to stay abreast of new drone regulations and flight programs and to obtain regulatory approvals. Approvals such as remote flight controls and operations without a visual observer when flying beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) increase the versatility and ROI of each system deployed. Percepto’s drones enable clients to optimize security and inspection practices by autonomously completing tasks such as perimeter patrols and infrastructure inspections.

“Percepto complements its technology with stellar customer support and an unwavering commitment to meeting business-specific needs for clients,” noted Blades. “In 2019, Percepto added fully-automated high-resolution two-dimensional mapping capabilities and three-dimensional modeling to meet customer and market demands. The company’s customer base and revenues continue to grow as potential clients and existing customers recognize its unique drone offering and price/performance value.”

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a company that has developed a pioneering technology that not only enhances current products, but also enables the development of new products and applications. The award recognizes the high market acceptance potential of the recipient’s technology.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

A more intelligent data center is critical to fulfilling this commitment.

SYDNEY, April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — AxiomSL, the industry’s leading provider of regulatory reporting and risk management solutions, today announces they have provided clients in Australia with a new release of their Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) reporting solution, to incorporate the brand new ARS 920 (COVID-19 SME guarantee scheme) requirements. This scheme was announced on 16 April 2020 and AxiomSL is pleased to deliver an automated solution for this weekly report, before the first collection date on 1 May 2020.  

This new reporting standard has been recently released by APRA and has a very short runway, before being effective due to the pressing nature of the COVID-19 situation, both locally and globally. This collection includes granular levels of individual loan-level data, following the global trend for regulators to ask for more detailed information on a much quicker reporting cycle. This trend can also be seen with APRA’s recent announcement about new data collections around the early release initiative for superannuation funds and Registered Superannuation Entities (RSEs), with a weekly reporting schedule.

Andrew Wood, Country Manager (Australia) AxiomSL, said: “I’m exceptionally proud of the way our local and international teams have adjusted their daily working practices to deliver throughout this pandemic.  The rapid release of ARS 920 is an example of how client and supplier teams need to work closely together as new risk and regulatory obligations emerge during this period of disruption.”
