The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) presents a significant opportunity for digital transformation in the infrastructure (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry. This sector, traditionally reliant on manual labor, mechanical technology, and traditional business models, has seen limited innovations in productivity compared to many other global industries. However, new digital technologies, particularly InfraTech solutions like drone technology, offer a promising pathway to revolutionize this industry.

The infrastructure sector needs to make a fundamental shift from built solutions that address singular problems to those that address multiple transformative outcomes.
