Escalating security costs
The PACSys Solution
PACSys deployed a fully autonomous DJI Dock 3 system with an integrated Matrice platform, delivering:
Scheduled, repeatable perimeter patrols every 60 minutes
Thermal surveillance for complete night visibility
AI-powered human and vehicle detection
Real-time video streaming into the control room
Deployment
Dock installed at the central security command hub
Three automated patrol routes configured
Fully integrated into existing security infrastructure
Results (First 90 Days)
65% faster response times
Multiple intrusion attempts detected before breach
18% reduction in guard overtime costs
Elevated estate positioning as a premium AI-secured community
Return on Investment
Replacing just two guards per shift delivers full ROI in under 18 months.
High-Precision Surveying for Open-Pit Mining Operations
Client: A mid-sized coal mine spanning over 1,200 hectares.
The Challenge: Traditional survey methods resulted in:
3-day turnaround times for stockpile surveys
High exposure of survey teams to heavy machinery
Inconsistent and unreliable volumetric data
The PACSys Solution
Deployment of the Matrice 400 RTK with LiDAR and RGB payloads enabled:
High-speed aerial data capture
Centimetre-level accuracy
Fully digitised terrain and volumetric modelling
Deployment
- Automated corridor and stockpile mapping missions
- Single-flight coverage of 500+ hectares
Data processed into DSM models and volumetric reports
Results
Survey time reduced from 3 days to 4 hours
Accuracy improved to ±2 cm
Survey costs reduced by 40%
Significant improvement in on-site safety compliance
Return on Investment
Survey cost savings alone justified the system within 12–15 months.
Advanced Anti-Poaching Surveillance for Wildlife Protection
Client: A private game reserve protecting high-value wildlife, including rhino populations.
The Challenge:
3-day turnaround times for stockpile surveys
High exposure of survey teams to heavy machinery
Inconsistent and unreliable volumetric data
Delayed ranger response times
The PACSys Solution
PACSys implemented the Matrice 350 RTK with H30T thermal payload, enabling:
Long-range night surveillance
Real-time thermal detection of human movement
Coordinated ranger deployment based on live intelligence
Deployment
Night patrol missions over high-risk zones
Thermal scanning with extended range capability
Live communication between drone operators and ground teams
Results
Multiple poaching incidents prevented
Night visibility extended beyond 2 km
50% faster ranger response times
Strengthened conservation credibility and protection capability
Return on Investment
Preventing a single rhino loss offsets the full system investment.
Autonomous Perimeter Security for Industrial Parks
Client: A large multi-tenant logistics and warehouse park.
The Challenge:
- After-hours theft and security breaches
- Inefficient manual patrols
- Limited real-time visibility across the site
The PACSys Solution
Integration of the Matrice 4TD into a Dock-based autonomous system delivered:
Continuous 24/7 aerial monitoring
AI-powered vehicle detection and tracking
Automated incident alerts linked to security systems
Deployment
- Scheduled 30-minute perimeter patrols
- Integration with existing security software
- Automated alert escalation workflows
Results
- Fully autonomous site monitoring
- Incident verification in under 60 seconds
- Significant reduction in vehicle patrol requirements
Return on Investment
Reduced patrol and fuel costs by 25%, with ongoing operational savings.
Rapid Insurance Assessments for Storm & Flood Damage
Client: An insurance provider managing high volumes of weather-related claims.
The Challenge:
Manual roof inspections slowing claims processing
Safety risks for field assessors
Delayed client settlements
The PACSys Solution
Deployment of the Matrice 30T enabled:
Rapid aerial inspections using thermal and zoom imaging
Accurate identification of structural damage
Same-day digital reporting
Deployment
On-demand deployment to affected sites
High-resolution visual and thermal data capture
Reports generated within 24 hours
Results
Claims processing time reduced by 40%
Reduced risk exposure for field teams
Faster client payouts and improved satisfaction
Return on Investment
Accelerated claims handling improved client retention and operational efficiency.
Thermal Inspection for Commercial Solar Performance Optimisation
Client: A 5MW commercial solar farm.
The Challenge:
Manual inspections taking 2–3 days
Undetected panel faults reducing output
- Inefficient maintenance cycles
The PACSys Solution
Using the Mavic 3 Enterprise (Thermal), PACSys enabled:
Rapid thermal inspection flights
AI-assisted hotspot detection
Same-day reporting for maintenance teams
Deployment
Early morning thermal scans for optimal accuracy
Automated anomaly detection
- Digital reporting delivered within hours
Results
- 37 faulty panels identified and resolved
- Inspection time reduced by 70%
Measurable improvement in energy yield
Return on Investment
Recovered lost energy production within weeks, delivering immediate financial impact.
