VASSILIS POLYCHRONOS
My name is Vassilis Polychronis. I come from Greece and I work at GeoSense company located in Thessaloniki, Greece. I'm the chief technical and technology officer at GeoSense, and I'm mostly dealing with drone technology. GeoSense is a trading company. We were established back in 2002, serving the geoinformatics market segmentation. And since 2010, we shifted our business model, working mostly with a UAV technology and drones, as we call it. And what we do is we distribute a number of well-known brands coming from abroad to Greek market. And also, we work very close to our customers, with our customers integrating their tailor-made, let's say, payloads, or any kind of specialised payload that cannot be found out of the shelf in a ready to fly product. Our mission is to provide our customers much better, let's say, understanding of this new technology, and assisting them to implement it in their everyday business, and to gain as much profit as possible out of it. GeoSense is a company that mainly, is mainly a trading company. We established back in 2002, working in the segment of geoinformatics. And lately and since 2010, we've been introducing in Greek market drone technologies, and we sell a lot of well-known brands in Greek market. But apart from box moving, let's say, we also help our customers to integrate their specialised sensors on the drone systems, and we help them also to maximise the output of this technology in their everyday business. So we started back in 2002 where the technology at that time was GNSS receivers, total stations in the segment of geoinformatics. And since 2010, we switched to drone technology because drones, for us, was something like satellites, meaning that they were giving us the ability to map and 3D reconstruct the terrain from a very low altitude, giving us very rich, detailed results. To give you an example, drones can provide us what Google Maps do, for example. OK? Meaning what? You can have an updated map, but with drones, the detail is very, very high. considering that a typical imagery coming from Google Maps has a resolution of 1 meter, we can deliver products down to a few centimeters.
