Free Seminar on Industrial Drones: July 27 in Tokyo

In a groundbreaking initiative, Sekido, the official distributor of DJI, is announcing a free seminar focused on industrial drones, to be held on July 27, 2026, in Meguro, Tokyo. This seminar, organized by ProCrew from Nagahama, Shiga Prefecture, aims to demonstrate the practical benefits of using drones in surveying and infrastructure inspections.

Addressing Industry Challenges

The construction, surveying, and inspection sectors are facing numerous challenges, including labor shortages, safety concerns in hazardous areas, and the need for improved efficiency and data quality. Companies often hesitate to adopt drone technologies due to uncertainties about their application, required accuracy, and selection of the right models and sensors.

The upcoming seminar will cover the use of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) in various applications, including surveying, infrastructure inspections, wildlife management, and disaster response. Attendees will benefit from hands-on demonstrations of the DJI Dock3 and will review actual implementation cases and data, facilitating discussions on suitable drone configurations and operational strategies.

Practical Insights on Drone Utilization

At the seminar, participants will learn how the integration of industrial drones can lead to significant improvements in multiple operational aspects:

1. Inspection of High Areas and Hazardous Locations: Drones allow safe monitoring without the need for scaffolding, preserving worker safety.
2. Wide-area Surveys: Aerial imagery and surveying technologies enabled by drones significantly reduce time requirements compared to traditional methods.
3. Rapid Initial Assessments During Disasters: Drones allow swift access to disaster-affected areas, enabling timely response actions.

Additionally, experts will discuss different technologies such as photogrammetry, laser surveying, infrared inspections, and automated flight, detailing their unique features and applications. The workshop will also cover critical considerations for drone adoption, including accuracy, productivity timelines, safety, and operational workload.

Tailoring Drone Configurations and Operations

The seminar will provide comprehensive insights into the primary applications of industrial drones, including construction management, UAV photogrammetry, structural inspections, solar energy facility assessments, disaster investigations, and security monitoring. This is not merely a product showcase; participants will explore which operations are suited for specific sensors and how they can translate to improved outcomes. The differences between photogrammetry and laser surveying, the benefits of using infrared cameras and 3D models for equipment inspections, and insights from real-world operational data will be invaluable for businesses considering drone integration.

Engaging Demonstrations and Remote Operating Experiences

Attendees will find a variety of industry drones, cameras, and positioning devices on display at the venue. Since outdoor demonstrations may not be feasible, the seminar includes remote flights to showcase drone performances and their practical applications in real-world scenarios. This hands-on experience will help participants visualize how drones can be implemented in their operations.

Target Audience

This seminar is ideal for:

• - Businesses in construction, surveying, or inspection considering drone technology.
• - Individuals seeking clarity on UAV photogrammetry vs. UAV LiDAR surveying.
• - Those exploring efficiency improvements in inspections (high-area, infrared, equipment).
