SLAM or Simultaneous Localization and Mapping is one of the most exciting key technologies in the world of robotics and automated systems; it is truly ground-breaking.

Drones are no longer just toys for technology enthusiasts or reserved for the military; with their entry into commercial applications and public services, they have become essential assistants in numerous sectors. At TOPseven we have not just observed this development, we have been actively involved in shaping it so that we can offer our customers the optimal drone solution for their specific requirements.

The modern world of work is characterised by diversity and internationality – two terms that are no longer just slogans but a living reality in progressive companies. TOPseven, a specialist in the development of drone software for the visual inspection of wind turbine generators and PV installations as well as complex infrastructure, is a prime example of diversity in practice.

The development of prototypes plays a decisive role in the market launch of innovative products. And this is precisely the goal we at TOPseven have set ourselves: creatively and constructively enriching the market with innovations.

In a constantly changing business world, mobile workplaces have long since become an essential element. In this context, our Field Office is innovative and unique; it was developed especially for our employees.

Before there were drones, the surveying and documentation of bridges and difficult-to-access structures was a major challenge that demanded alternative methods. By using drones, precise data can now be acquired from the air, which results in more efficient data acquisition, greater accuracy and more detailed models.

GPS technology has advanced significantly in recent decades and our everyday lives are now inconceivable without it. GPS helps us to determine our location exactly, to find our way in unfamiliar places, to plan our routes precisely. However, GPS is not only used increasingly in the private area, it has also found its place in industry.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently on everyone’s lips, particularly because applications like ChatGPT are showing the world how powerful and effective AI can be. In recent months, the emergence of this new generation of generative AI tools has shown clearly that AI is no longer only of importance in research or for the technology giants in Silicon Valley.

YOLO, or "You Only Look Once", is a groundbreaking method for real time object detection. Unlike conventional approaches that analyse images several times to identify objects, YOLO can do this in one pass. YOLO, a real time object detection model, has proven to be extremely powerful here.

In the world of technology, automation is no longer an option but is now imperative to make industrial processes more effective, safer and more efficient.
