Aware that new EU legislation introduced at the start of 2021 would make SORA a compulsory requirement for complex drone operations in Europe, Nomoko began its application in 2020. Obtaining the permit in September 2021 was testimony not only to the complexity and challenges involved but also to the tenacity and dedication of the Nomoko team to becoming EU compliant.
What is SORA?
SORA is a requirement to create a reusable risk assessment methodology that can be used when applying for authorization to operate drones in specific high risk environments. A 10-step process, it details where, when and how Nomoko can perform drone operations without endangering people and objects in the air and on the ground, explaining the risks involved and the measures taken to mitigate them.
Being awarded a SORA permit means Nomoko has created a detailed and robust methodology for its approach to drone operations in Europe, often over busy, densely populated environments.
From drone capture to Digital Twins
Drone operations are the first step in creating Digital Twins. Through its custom-built 3D modeling process, Nomoko can convert 2D drone images into georeferenced real-scale 3D models at a much faster rate and in a more scalable way than existing methods at this level of accuracy. Entire cities in extreme detail in weeks, not months. Nomoko is combining these models with real-world, real-time data to deliver a range of spatial services for any industry and its first solution bringing digital transformation to real estate, Praedia.
Nomoko CEO and cofounder Nilson Kufus commented, “SORA is an important step towards scaling 3D models and Digital Twins of Europe and vital to our mission to create a machine-readable world. The potential of Digital Twins for real estate in particular is very significant – not only to digitalize and disrupt the workings of the largest financial asset class in the world but also to make it much more sustainable.”
