Dock + Matrice 4D System – Automatic Mapping and Inspections
The set combines a docking station and a drone into one integrated operating system. The Dock is responsible for logistics and automation, and the Matrice 4D for collecting spatial data and mission execution. An ideal solution for cyclical measurements, investment documentation, and infrastructure monitoring without the presence of an operator on site.
DJI Dock 3 – Autonomous Operations Base
DJI Dock 3 is a new generation station enabling full automation of operations:
