2 Better data. Better decisions. Using UAVs to increase productivity and safety in the construction industry Trimble Dimensions 2014 Nov. 4th 2014 p. 2

3 1 A quick overview of Redbird, and how UAVs and data processing are bringing exceptional new insights in the construction industry. Redbird - Trimble Dimensions 2014 Nov. 4th 2014 p. 3

4 1/ REDBIRD IN SHORT A story that came out of three revolutions: 1 2 Robotics and new on-board technologies (GPS, autopilots, sensors ) now available to the industry, at low costs. The ever-increasing capacity of computers to crush massive amounts of information: Big Data. New regulations allowing the commercial use of civilian UAVs, especially in France since Redbird - Trimble Dimensions 2014 Nov. 4th 2014 p. 4

5 1/ REDBIRD IN SHORT Our vision: to change the game in the industry We collect massive amounts of high resolution aerial data using UAVs (drones). - We extract critical information and provide our clients with new insights for a better decision making process. - Our value proposition : (1) to increase productivity and (2) secure daily operations.

10 3/ REDBIRD MARKETS With our UAVs, we target three markets Network Supervision Surveillance of electricity networks (power lines) Surveillance of oil & gas networks (pipelines) Surveillance of transportation network (railways, roads) Geospatial Quarry monitoring Earthworks Public works site supervision Civil engineering structures inspection Agribusiness Precision agriculture (decision-support tools) Field crops Viticulture Redbird - Trimble Dimensions 2014 Nov. 4th 2014 p. 10

11 4 An example: monitoring quarries and optimizing productivity by using the TRIMBLE X100 and data analytics. Redbird - Trimble Dimensions 2014 Nov. 4th 2014 p. 11

70% of the machinery costs are related to their use (30% to the purchase itself).

12 4/ MONITORING OF QUARRIES USING DRONES A new tool to monitor the production Productivity issues : rising costs (fuel, labour) have changed the economic balance. 70% of the machinery costs are related to their use (30% to the purchase itself). To ensure equipment productivity is the key to competitiveness. Monitoring of the machinery (ex. CAT Connect) Monitoring of the sites by Redbird (using Trimble UAVs) Redbird - Trimble Dimensions 2014 Nov. 4th 2014 p. 12
