The term Drone Swarm is particularly at home in the field of drone technology, automation and Industry 4.0. A drone swarm refers to a group of many drones that operate together and often autonomously as a team. These drones communicate with each other and coordinate their movements in order to achieve a common goal more efficiently. They can be directed by a central control system or coordinate themselves independently.
Imagine a swarm of small drones carrying out a large inspection of a wind farm. Each drone is assigned its own area. By working together, they manage to inspect the entire wind farm much faster and more thoroughly than a single drone. The collected data is analysed centrally. This allows damage to be recognised at an early stage.
Drone swarms are increasingly being used in agriculture, for search and rescue missions and in industry. The big advantage: where many individual tasks need to be completed simultaneously, drone swarms deliver efficiency, flexibility and reliability. This makes them a promising technology for the digital future of various industries.
