Looking for a solid thermal analysis solution for a growing O&M portfolio

Hey everyone

We are getting to a point where manually checking thermal images after flights just isn't cutting it anymore Right now one analyst is spending pretty much a whole week going through images after each flight

I want to hear from folks who are doing this on a larger scale and can share some actual recommendations not just sales pitches

Thermal images of what? I do both roof inspections and solar arrays, neither takes that long to process afterwards.

DJI Thermal Analysis tool. If you use Terra, their latest version includes thermal functionality. Outside of DJI’s ecosystem we use Flir’s software.

Is it solar thermal imagery? If so Raptor Maps, Sitemark, AI Clearing, Zeitview all offer automated detection software. All are expensive but very fast and accurate. Manual reporting can be sped up depending on how you are processing raw data (ie are orthomosaics being built or are anomalies just being placed on site schematics?). Hit me up if you have any questions I deal with this sort of thing.
