In an age where drones and satellite imaging systems are reaching unprecedented heights of capability, calibration for such technologies becomes increasingly vital. Group 8 Technology, Inc., a leader in drone technology, found themselves facing this exact challenge. They needed a specialized fabric for their drone calibration targets, one that offered a perfect blend of smoothness and paint compatibility. With over a century of experience in textile innovation, we were the natural choice to take on this highly technical challenge.
Group 8 Technology had specific needs for their calibration targets. The fabric had to possess an ultra-smooth surface and be compatible with paint without showing any signs of the underlying weave. The material had to be consistent enough to ensure the accuracy of high-tech drones and satellite imaging systems, a requirement that demanded a meticulous approach and unparalleled attention to detail.
Drawing upon our rich history and extensive expertise, we began the collaborative process of designing a fabric that would meet Group 8’s stringent criteria. Our team developed a high-quality material with a meticulously smooth surface suitable for painting without any weave shadows. Not only did the material meet Group 8’s requirements, but it was also scalable and cost-effective to produce, which was critical for ongoing operations.
Thanks to our specialized fabric, Group 8 Technology’s drones now calibrate with unparalleled accuracy and consistency. The company has reported a noticeable increase in productivity, and the specialized fabric has become a cornerstone in their calibration process. Our solution not only fulfilled their immediate needs but set a new industry standard for drone and satellite calibration technologies.
