Problem
Operating drones for commercial applications often requires manual flight control and line-of-sight operation, limiting efficiency and scalability, particularly in industries like agriculture, construction, and mining where large areas need to be surveyed. Traditional methods for stockpile measurement and crop monitoring are time-consuming, costly, and can expose workers to hazardous conditions.
Solution
Botlink provides automated drone flight software and hardware solutions that enable safe and efficient aerial operations across various industries. The Botlink Capture app allows users to plan and execute automated flights, capture high-definition imagery, and process data to create detailed maps and models. The XRD2 hardware facilitates command and control over cellular networks, enabling beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights and integration with existing autopilots. Botlink's InSites web app delivers tools for stockpile measurement, inventory management, and agricultural analysis, providing actionable insights for improved decision-making and increased productivity.
Target Audience
Botlink's primary customers include professionals in agriculture, aggregates and mining, construction, and surveying who require efficient and accurate aerial data collection and analysis for improved operational insights.
