Terra Ops - Industrial Solutions

After having completed a master’s degree researching the role of drones in the 4th industrial revolution, James became acutely aware of the many ways in which the advantages of drone technology could be realised in various critical sectors with the right implementation strategies. And so, in the wake of the drone industry in South Africa, and partnering with an engineer equally driven by such change, Terra Ops was essentially born out of a drive to help usher major industries such as mining and construction into this new era. The company initially began mainly providing services in surveying and mapping. However, Terra Ops has naturally grown since then to provide solutions to other industry fields such as using high end scanners and drones, scanning existing architecture to create highly accurate 3D models, combining lidar and photogrammetry technology to create fully immersive virtual reality worlds to inhabit and experience. We have even employed drones and artificial intelligence to fully automate an entire warehouse stocktake. There are many industries that have long awaited solutions to some of their current inefficiencies and so, as a result, Terra Ops continues to source and develop key relationships with international hi-tech companies with the aim of expanding its product and service offerings to the major industrial sectors. Terra Ops is excited to be a part of the innovation and the positive change happening in Africa with the transformation of industries.
