Remote drone operations have unlocked new possibilities for mapping, surveillance, and inspection. With innovative solutions like the DJI Dock 2, missions can now be completed faster, safer, and more cost-effectively than ever before.

Remote drone operations are revolutionizing how businesses and public agencies approach mapping, surveillance, and inspection tasks. This technology enables drones to be operated from a central location, eliminating the need for physical presence at the operation site. The benefits include improved efficiency, enhanced safety, and significant cost savings.

We dedicate significant time to staying updated on new technology, drone systems, and regulations. This allows us to help our clients quickly and effectively implement these systems while ensuring operations are conducted safely and in compliance with current rules and safety requirements. Droneakademiet is certified for remote drone operations using the DJI Dock 2.

DJI Dock 2 – Always Ready

One of the most exciting innovations in remote operations is the "drone-in-a-box" concept, exemplified by the DJI Dock 2. This system combines storage, charging, and a base for takeoff and landing into a single compact docking station, allowing drone pilots to fly over the internet from their offices manually or through pre-programmed flight routes.

We use a Matrice 3D drone housed in a DJI Dock 2 docking station, which is programmed and operated via DJI’s proprietary control system, FlightHub 2. This platform makes mission planning and data collection efficient and straightforward. The drone provides real-time video feeds and can quickly cover large areas, offering critical insights for decision-making and significantly enhancing safety, particularly in public safety and emergency response scenarios.

How Remote Drone Operations Differ from Traditional Approaches

In traditional drone operations, the pilot must be physically present at the operation site to control and monitor the flight. This often requires substantial time and resources. Remote drone operations fundamentally change this by enabling mission planning and execution from a centralized location.

This technology also facilitates the development of AI-powered tools for automated analysis of drone-gathered data, further optimizing workflows and increasing the value of the collected information.

Advantages of the DJI Dock 2 System

• Reduced need for on-site personnel
• Continuous 24/7 operation
• Quick activation and execution of missions
• High precision and reliability through sensors and automated processes
• Real-time video feeds for ongoing situational awareness
• Rapid coverage of large areas, enhancing situational understanding and decision-making

Applications

Remote-controlled drones can be used across a broad range of industries within the existing regulatory framework. Key applications include:

• Construction Site Mapping: Provides a quick overview of progress and logistics, reducing risks associated with physical presence near heavy machinery.
• Industrial Site Surveillance: Streamlines security operations with real-time information, improving situational awareness and decision-making.
• Inspection of Live Infrastructure: Reduces risks and costs compared to manual inspections, enhancing mission efficiency and minimizing strain on physical resources.
• Public Aviation (Fire and Rescue, Police): Supports critical operations where time and precision are vital, offering improved situational awareness through aerial insights.

Docking station systems are particularly well-suited for continuous monitoring and repetitive tasks, enabling immediate response when needed.
