Unmanned aircraft can provide enterprise security teams with a number of potential use cases, including improving incident response, investigations and more.
At LyondellBasell, Global Director of Crisis Management and Security Scott McHugh is using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to enhance situational awareness at a large-scale manufacturing plant. The drones have proven their value.
“Chemical manufacturing plants tend to be very large with lots of acreages and, in the past, we’ve used security officers to conduct perimeter patrols,” McHugh says. “Drones are able to do those tedious and repetitive tasks very efficiently and rapidly. Plus, they never lose their focus. They are consistently attentive to their task.”
