Problem
Drones spend more time charging than flying. Traditional charging takes 30–45 minutes per cycle, which means fleets sit idle, missions get delayed, and ROI drops. Manual battery swaps are error-prone and don't scale.
Solution
Exantro provides autonomous battery-swap stations that handle the full cycle — land, swap, takeoff — in under 60 seconds with no manual intervention. The station is designed for continuous operations around the clock, turning downtime into flight time. Hardware and software work together out of the box, covering the automations needed to swap batteries and resume flights. API-first integration patterns allow telemetry, alerts, and workflows to be connected into existing enterprise tools.
Target Audience
Operators of commercial drone fleets in industries requiring continuous flight, including agriculture, emergency response, and other mission-critical sectors where uptime and dependable service are essential.
