“This will ensure we’re developing end-to-end solutions for our customers, from autonomous data capture through to autonomous analytics,” he said.
“We’re also building a state-of-the-art manufacturing, calibration and test facility near our Brisbane headquarters to meet growing demand, as well as opening offices in the US and UK.”
Emesent has had huge success in the mining sector.
Its award-winning Hovermap technology has helped conglomerates like BHP, Glencore and Anglo American obtain high-quality mapping data that was previously inaccessible, helping to improve safety and productivity.
Stefan said Emesent’s expansion into new markets meant those sectors could also benefit from the company’s autonomous data capture and analysis solutions.
“Our drone autonomy, LiDAR mapping and analytics technology will certainly benefit the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC sector), as well as the oil, gas and defence markets,” he said.
Perennial Partners’ Portfolio Manager Karen Chan said the team was excited to partner with Stefan and Farid as they continued to take Emesent global.
“Its best-in-class technology is disrupting the manual and inefficient nature of asset and infrastructure management, through enabling businesses and operators to reach inaccessible areas, improve safety for employees and reduce downtime,” she said.
Tiger Global partner Griffin Schroeder said Emesent was pushing the boundaries of what could be done with drone autonomy.
“Emesent’s leading drone-based data capture platform gives companies unprecedented access to some of the most challenging geographies,” he said.
“From a safe distance, enterprises can now collect high-quality data that was previously impossible to acquire.”
