FlytBase and DroneDeploy partner to unify autonomous drone dock operations and reality capture

FlytBase customers and partners will now have a way to automatically load the captured data into DroneDeploy, enabling them to generate highly accurate 3D maps.

San Jose, California (USA), Nov 10, 2023 - FlytBase and DroneDeploy jointly announced a strategic partnership set to redefine the landscape of autonomous drone operations and reality capture. This integration brings together the best of both platforms, enabling users to effortlessly automate end-to-end workflows from start to finish. FlytBase customers and partners will now have a way to automatically load the captured data into DroneDeploy, enabling them to generate highly accurate 3D maps.


Elevating the drone autonomy and data game
"Up until now, the drone software landscape has been quite fragmented, with platforms focusing on different aspects of drone operations - be it fleet management, flight operations or specialized data analysis for specific industries. Enterprises and system integrators have been looking for a unified solution that can comprehensively manage their docked drone operations and accurately map their assets. The need for an all-in-one solution was clear, and that's precisely what we aim to offer through our partnership with DroneDeploy," said Nitin Gupta, Founder and CEO of FlytBase.

By incorporating a variety of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) components - such as parachutes, detect-and-avoid systems, uncrewed traffic management and weather systems - FlytBase ensures that drone operations are both reliable and secure. Leveraging FlytBase, customers and partners have successfully obtained BVLOS certifications from top aviation authorities in 10 countries, including the FAA in the United States, EASA in Europe, CASA in Australia, SACAA in South Africa, JCAB in Japan and CAAM in Malaysia. The platform also goes beyond basic mission planning by offering advanced features like dynamic route planning and customized flight workflows, all designed to align with regulatory standards. The platform is hardware-agnostic, supporting a wide range of drones and docking stations.

In addition, FlytBase prioritizes data security by adhering to leading data protection standards. The platform is ISO 27001, SOC2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. The data captured in FlytBase can then be easily synced and uploaded to DroneDeploy's platform, where it is automatically processed into highly detailed 3D models and maps. DroneDeploy is the market leader in aerial and ground-based reality capture, helping its customers spanning 190 countries capture an instant understanding of their operations through drone, robotics and 360 camera data, with over 400 million acres and 2.2 million sites mapped to date from 9.4 million flights.

"DroneDeploy provides the important technology for operators to gain an instant view of data, no matter how it is captured, and is the only platform that connects people to job sites across the entire asset lifecycle. From aerial and ground views of construction progress to automated gauge readings and methane leak detection, DroneDeploy reduces the need for time-consuming manual inspections, helping to mitigate risk and keep field teams safe. Partnering with FlytBase will provide our customers with a centralized way to capture, process, view and analyze their data, providing businesses with the insights they need to operate more efficiently." Andy Pavletich, Group Product Manager at DroneDeploy.

BitFlow Introduces 6th Generation Camera Link Frame Grabber: The Axion

BitFlow has offered a Camera Link frame grabbers for almost 15 years. This latest offering, our 6th generation combines the power of CoaXPress with the requirements of Camera Link 2.0. Enabling a single or two camera system to operate at up to 850 MB/S per camera, the Axion-CL family is the best choice for CL frame grabber. Like the Cyton-CXP frame grabber, the Axion-CL leverages features such as the new StreamSync system, a highly optimized DMA engine, and expanded I/O capabilities that provide unprecedented flexibility in routing. There are two options available; Axion 1xE & Axion 2xE. The Axion 1xE is compatible with one base, medium, full or 80-bit camera offering PoCL, Power over Camera Link, on both connectors. The Axion 2xE is compatible with two base, medium, full or 80-bit cameras offering PoCL on both connectors for both cameras. The Axion-CL is a culmination of the continuous improvements and updates BitFlow has made to Camera Link frame grabbers.
