Hammer Partners with Euro Drone Inspections
London, Maastricht, July 5th 2019
Hammer & Euro Drone Inspections join forces in deploying end-to-end mission planning software for precise and automated aerial inspections.
Varun Sarwal, Director, introducing Hammer:
“Hammer is a software startup based in London, working on enhancing human productivity through unmanned aerial vehicles. As a first step, the company has designed Hammer — a highly versatile flight planning and control software for DJI drones that enables quick and precise data capture for a number of tasks. It’s different to other tools on the market as it generates precise and diverse flight plans, yet is extremely simple to use, eliminating the need to constantly switch between flight planning applications for different missions.
The company is currently laser-focused on supporting commercial drone operations in the survey, inspection and SAR industries by providing end-to-end mission planning software and high-quality customer support. Later, the company also plans to produce onboard AI and autopilot software for commercial UAVs to better serve specific verticals in the commercial drone industry.”
Rik Bijl, CEO, introducing Euro Drone Inspections:
“With Euro Drone Inspections, the sky is no longer the limit, it’s the beginning. With clients in a wide range of industries, we produce detailed images and data using our state-of-the-art drones. From Condition Based Maintenance to BIM-progress flights, we’ve got it all covered. As a specialist in inspections of buildings and construction, we don’t just go high, we go far: With a convenient base in the Euro region, we perform drone flights and inspections all over the world.”

Both companies strongly believe that drones have many benefits in performing inspections at high altitudes and/or hard-to-reach places as opposed to traditional methods. A drone can be used anywhere and is airborne within minutes. Drones are faster, safer and cheaper than traditional inspection methods and thus a better alternative to scaffolding or other aerial platforms. Bridges, buildings and large installations can be mapped quickly with high levels of precision.
Using Hammer and their operational expertise, Euro Drone Inspections offers Condition Based Maintenance inspection flights. Instead of Time-Based Maintenance, which is done periodically at predetermined times, Condition Based Maintenance is performed only when certain indicators show signs of decreasing performance or upcoming failure. Their operations map the current state, wear and tear of buildings, structures and machines to determine whether and which maintenance is required. Benefits include:
- No unnecessary expenses on replacing parts still in good condition.
- Time and Cost savings on unnecessary maintenance work.
- Mitigation of unnecessary stops/delays in production.
All-in-all, Hammer and Euro Drone Inspections are looking forward to their newly found partnership and strive to deliver a variety of high-quality services in the commercial drone industry.
“Hammer gives us the opportunity to provide reliable and detailed data to our valued customers, by leveraging the versatility of the software and applying it to the task at hand”- Rik Bijl
“By working with Euro Drone Inspections, we are able to learn more about the challenges and opportunities in commercial drone operations, and thereby improve our software solutions.” - Varun Sarwal
