Australian drone technology startup Aerologix is releasing its patented innovative automated flight path technology globally, for both private and enterprise use, which have potential use cases in search and rescue operations, disaster management and battling bushfires.
What is the market offering of Aeropath?
Previously restricted for use by pilots on the Aerologix application, international customers can now download the AerologixFly app to access the patented technology software, Aeropath, which offers an automated flight solution for inspecting vertical asset structures.
Aeropath enables drones to fly around complex structures, like telecommunications towers, buildings and electricity structures, turning a low cost drone into a valuable superdrone.
Additional real-time communication features are scheduled to be added to the AerologixFly app in the next six months that have potential use cases like search and rescue and bushfire monitoring. AeroLive, will allow footage to be streamed live in HD, and AeroChat, will allow users to give pilots instructions in real-time from an off-site location or command centre.
Available on iOS and Android phones and compatible with all DJI drones, Aeropath is available on the AerologixFly app, as a subscription based SaaS model on a month-to-month plan. For Australian pilots, Aeropath is currently only available when carrying out Aerologix projects.
What does the solution mean for the industry?
Aerologix Co-Founder and COO, Rakesh Routhu said, “Aeropath is the jewel in the Aerologix crown and we’re really excited to release it internationally, allowing pilots all over the world to benefit from our tech, which will undoubtedly optimise their operations whether they work for a company that requires frequent asset inspection or they do occasional private jobs as a side gig. Aeropath will allow them to complete missions efficiently and safely, every time.”
“We’re excited about our new features that will be released in the coming months. To be able to watch a live stream and communicate with the pilot in real-time will be a game-changer for not only enterprises, but also for the likes of search & rescue or bushfire monitoring.”
Aerologix Co-Founder and CEO, Tom Caska says, “It’s been great to see so many pilots utilising the platform already, before we’ve even advertised. We’ve seen hundreds of downloads from New Zealand, USA, Norway, Finland, Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong.”
“The drone pilot community is a very engaged one and when there is tech that will help them perform their jobs better, either via software or the drone itself, they don’t hesitate to get on board. We’re excited to be able to service those pilots with what we think is brilliant tech.”
What does the future of consumer drones look like?
The future of consumer drones is bright. The technology is becoming more affordable and accessible, and the possibilities for use are endless. Drones can be used for photography, videography, mapping, delivery, and even search and rescue. As the technology continues to develop, we can expect to see even more innovative and exciting uses for drones in the years to come.
One of the most promising areas for drone use is in the field of photography and videography. Drones can capture stunning aerial footage that would be impossible to get from the ground. This makes them ideal for capturing landscapes, events, and even real estate listings. Drones are also becoming increasingly popular for use in filmmaking. They can be used to create breathtaking aerial shots that would be difficult or impossible to get with traditional camera crews.
Drones are also being used for mapping and surveying. They can be used to create detailed maps of areas that are difficult or dangerous to access from the ground. This makes them ideal for use in disaster relief, environmental monitoring, and even military operations. Drones can also be used to collect data on crops, forests, and other natural resources. This information can be used to improve farming practices, manage forests, and protect the environment.
In the future, we can expect to see drones being used for even more innovative and exciting purposes. For example, drones could be used to deliver food and other goods to people in remote areas. They could also be used to provide emergency services, such as search and rescue. Drones could even be used to transport passengers. As the technology continues to develop, the possibilities for drone use are endless.
Of course, there are also some concerns about the use of drones. One concern is that drones could be used for surveillance or even to commit crimes. Another concern is that drones could pose a safety hazard, especially in crowded areas. However, these concerns can be addressed through regulation and education. With careful planning and use, drones can be a valuable tool for society.
Overall, the future of consumer drones is bright. The technology is becoming more affordable and accessible, and the possibilities for use are endless. As the technology continues to develop, we can expect to see even more innovative and exciting uses for drones in the years to come.
