Progress Monitoring and Digital History
The early industrial adopters of Hangar’s RaaS Platform innovations have been the enterprises working on large capital intensive construction projects – new mega-projects, commercial buildings, infrastructure, large multi-family dwellings and other non-residential construction projects. The solutions have been embraced most enthusiastically because of the easy acquisition of valuable new data and insight for companies with design/build/operations phases of their workflows. This new data holds great transformational promise for increasing revenue and cost savings –actually putting points back on slim margins.
Hangar’s customer proof points include predictive project progress collaboration and communication that facilitates more timely, fact-based decision-making. Many industry veterans highlight the costs of fragmented non-structured data as the single most difficult project management challenge. Why not fix that? Especially if can be easy.
A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words…
…and in the case of dispute avoidance, often, tens of millions of dollars.
Hangar’s goal is to provide valuable data for your construction business. Progress communication and timely decision-making are both critical capabilities enabled by daily, weekly and monthly visual reports and digital histories of your worksites nationwide, all in a single, easy-to-use interface. Inside your Hangar MapSight project stakeholders can see all existing projects visual data. Administrators may easily upload additional projects to be captured, make requests for additional data, and have a complete archive of all projects and their history.
Hangar securely hosts all digitized assets for each project within a real-time streaming warehouse – all data is time-stamped and geo-tagged—in an easy-to-use interface for future reference. Your Hangar login is direct access to an asset repository of your company’s work, hosted at no-additional cost for the life of your projects and beyond.
More frequent captures deliver highest returns on investments
“A recent McKinsey analysis suggests that existing digital technologies, when applied comprehensively and efficiently, can reduce overall project costs by as much as 45 percent.”

In an intuitive, organized contextual software interface where one can venture anywhere, as close as you want to be and never have to dig through a Dropbox photo directory looking for that one picture of that one issue you saw so long ago again.
See things differently, more clearly and take a good close look. Zoom. Share. Annotate.
Detect defects early, analyze environmental impacts, plan materials and equipment placement, track capital and resource assets, plan and record major events, provide compliance records effortlessly, enable bill verification for materials and assets easily. The list goes on and on. Everyday growing with a new user sharing a use case.
As one enterprise company reported after avoiding significant potential OSHA fines,” I’m a believer. I was worried about the safety exposure at first but now I know the more eyes I can put on the site the safer it will be. Now corporate safety analysts look over the projects weekly and send me snapshots daily of potential hazards I may have missed. Based on our early experience we really believe we have some of the safest sites in the world now.”
No hassles. Let the Hangar RaaS Platform and our network of partners put everyone in your organization “on Site.”

Room for Improvement.
Recently, America’s Infrastructure Report Card was released and a D+ was the bad news. However, the good news is that we’ve all recognized we have a lot of work to do. But we don’t really have a good idea of where to start. But we, at Hangar do. It all starts with an inspection. Knowing what repair you do not have to schedule first can be just a valuable saving you time to focus on the most critical.
Hangar RaaS Gained Insight Increases Productivity
There’s another aspect to Hangar’s approach that is enormously valuable. Once an autonomous Hangar mission is planned, it is saved with all the location required to be executed repeatedly, autonomously, precisely. Thereafter every time the autonomous mission is executed, a new set of precision captured data is added to the project data store and JobSight. This designed approach provides customers with an absolute set of data to compare against past captured assets. This disciplined design provides data that is purposely prepared and perfectly tuned for machine learning algorithms to enable actionable predictive findings and recommendations.
With refined UAS inspection solutions, clients can complete 20 or more tower inspections per person, per day – a 50% improvement in efficiency over current methods.
Nearly 6.5 million people work at approximately 252,000 construction sites and it is estimated that there are 24,882 injuries per year simply due to falls from stairways and ladders where drones can access without risk to humans.
According to the latest ASCE Report Card, 1 in 11 bridges in the US, is structurally deficient.
More than 24,000 robots valued at $1.3 billion were ordered from North American companies last year.
“Historically, claim resolution favors the organization that can provide the greatest volume of project documentation to support its stated position and associated cost impacts.”
Informed Actionable Intelligence Guiding the Investments
This data increases in value with each new instance getting you closer and closer to the reality of predictive and prescriptive maintenance guidelines. The degrees of concrete degradation can be precisely measured, the effects of oxidation and rust, unreported impacts and other environmental conditions that may have changed that increase the risk profile of the structure.
Autonomous Robotics Makes Better Human Engineers Make Sustainable Infrastructure
We believe the challenges posed by our current infrastructure status in the USA alone cannot be efficiently addressed without robotics, machine learning, precise visual data and frequent recurring inspections that can virtually report on itself saving enterprises commissioned to maintain the infrastructure a fighting chance to do great work and thrive making our homes and places we travel and work safer—safer to work on and safer to use.
Companies spend about $40 billion annually inspecting plants and equipment within the oil and gas, transportation and power generation sectors.
Drone-based highway inspections can be executed by drones for 7.2% of what highway inspections cost today. (Savings of 92.8%)
Drone-based wind turbine inspections using autonomous flight controller software like Hangar’s AutoPilot is 10 times more efficient than traditional methods on the 314,000 wind turbines currently in service.
US has 400,000 miles of power lines. It costs $480 million annually for inspections. Drone-based inspections could save this industry $400 million annually.
Repeatable, Precision-Captured Data
Hangar’s goal in the inspection industry is to reduce the risks of manned inspection, and replace 3 out of 4 climbs for our clients with data captured autonomously by inspectors using Hangars technology, or on-demand through Hangar’s data acquisition platform.
At Hangar, we have spent significant time in the field with telecommunications companies and service providers around the globe understanding not just the challenges of cell phone tower and infrastructure inspection but also building specific processing solutions and interfaces that solve the complex problems of storing, accessing and analyzing the data from those inspections.
