The latest model, with its features, is a wise investment—especially for customers in the inspection sector and the public safety sector who need to carry out missions using the DJI Dock’s automated technology more than just occasionally. Inside the Dock 4 is a sophisticated battery carousel with space for three additional batteries (in addition to the one installed in the drone), which automatically swaps out the batteries in the drone as needed. It takes just 47 seconds from landing to taking off again with a replaced battery.

The drone itself — the new Matrice 5TD — also comes with several technical upgrades that are certainly useful in everyday practical applications. A multisensor gimbal offers various camera and sensor systems for different applications: thermal (4x the resolution of the Matrice 4TD), wide-angle camera, and zoom camera (both with rolling shutter), a laser rangefinder, and an NIR auxiliary light for night vision. In addition, the user can attach up to three additional payloads simultaneously: a parachute system, speakers, and a spotlight, which even automatically track the lens.

The new integrated microwave radar for optimized obstacle avoidance is another benefit that really pays off, especially when detecting high-voltage power lines, for example. In addition to other technical innovations, the increased onboard computing power for AI algorithms — including several pre-integrated algorithms, such as those for fire and smoke detection — is particularly impressive. This is a real upgrade, especially in the public safety sector. It should be noted, however, that the new DJI Dock 4 does not have an integrated RTK module, so the O4 base station is absolutely necessary.

The DJI Dock 3 with the Matrice 4D/4TD will remain available for the time being; our geo-konzept experts recommend it for surveying tasks due to the Matrice 4D’s global shutter camera.

DJI Dock 4 is now available for order from geo-konzept.

Demands on the modern mining and quarrying industries are rising rapidly: maximum efficiency, uncompromising safety, and sustainable processes are taking center stage more than ever. As a long-standing partner to the sector, we are once again demonstrating at this year’s steinexpo how tailored high-tech solutions can revolutionize day-to-day operations. For years, geo-konzept has been a key player in state-of-the-art sensor technology, GPS systems, and software-based optimization.

As Europe’s largest demonstration trade fair, steinexpo provides the ideal platform to showcase this expertise in a live operational setting. We are using this opportunity to offer industry professionals an exclusive look at our current product pipeline.

Our UAV systems, in conjunction with geo-konzept’s VolumeX software, offer biogas plant operators the perfect tool for independently inventorying and archiving corn silos. This allows for quick, easy determination of the volume and thus the tonnage of renewable raw materials (e.g., corn silage, whole-plant silage) without having to climb the silos. This provides an ideal basis for invoicing suppliers and customers, regular inventory, and just-in-time replenishment planning for the smooth operation of biogas plants.

In addition to determining silo volume, the systems are also perfectly suited for the legally required emergency storage capacity calculation during the planning phase, even on uneven terrain. A brand-new addition to our portfolio is a methane gas detector developed specifically for drones, which allows for the safe, reliable, and precise measurement and documentation of anomalies from the air.

These shops use stolen images and text and pretend to sell genuine products – sometimes with deceptive realism. Unfortunately, it’s likely that several such sites exist or will emerge. We clearly distance ourselves from these sites and strongly warn against falling for such dubious, suspiciously cheap offers. These websites are fake shops that only collect data and money. Customers who order from them will not receive the goods they purchased.

We have already forwarded the cases known to us to our legal department. However, experience has shown that it is difficult to permanently take such shops offline, as they are often quickly deleted, renamed, or operated via foreign domains. For some shops, a quick internet search will at least reveal that they are fraudulent.

To be on the safe side, please use only our official retailers or order directly from us. If you are unsure, we are of course available by phone or email. We would be happy to help you find the right offer. Should you discover any suspicious shops, we would appreciate your notification with a link to the relevant page.
