Skydio, a drone manufacturer and autonomous flight technology provider, has announced a new, strategic collaboration with Trimble to create an integrated workflow of accurate data capture, data visualization, and data analytics for critical infrastructure industries.

The collaboration will combine the Skydio X10 drone with Trimble’s Construction Cloud, and construction and utility companies along with state transportation agencies will benefit from this collaboration.

The automated, API-based integration allows for simple transfer of drone-captured imagery and metadata from Skydio Cloud to Trimble Industry Cloud, and Skydio users will be able to use their Skydio X10 alongside Trimble base stations and GNSS receivers for survey-grade accuracy in mapping missions and conduct PPK-based corrections following a flight.
