Part of VOTIX

One of four products:

Situation Rooms brings the team together, Stream carries the video, and Manage runs the program. Fly puts the pilot on the drone.

  1. Situation Rooms

    Coordinate the team around the live video.

  2. Stream

    Carry the live video in True Real-Time.

  3. Manage

    Run the program, the fleet, and the records.

  4. Fly You are here

    Fly the drone and command the dock.

The problem

When flying means standing next to the drone, only one person can do it

  • Without Fly:
    The flight waits for a drive.Someone has to reach the site before the drone goes up.
    With Fly: Fly from wherever you are.From a desk or a vehicle, before anyone reaches the site.
  • Without Fly:
    The dock sits outside the operation.It is commanded from another tool.
    With Fly: The dock is in the same cockpit.A drone waiting on a roof is part of the operation.
  • Without Fly:
    The team listens to a description.The video arrives late and the map is in another window.
    With Fly: The team sees the flight.A supervisor can watch it without taking the controls.
  • Without Fly:
    The person who knows the site holds the controller.So that is all they can do.
    With Fly: The person on site works the site.A pilot somewhere else takes the drone.

How it works

Fly, command, see

  1. Fly the drone

    On-screen sticks, a gamepad, or a keyboard. Whatever the pilot prefers.

  2. Command the dock

    Speaker, spotlight, and laser from the same screen, where the dock supports them.

  3. See every detail

    Zoom in and switch to thermal on the same drone. A second person can run the camera.
