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.

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.

With this battery (EU C1 version; 4,230 mAh / 65.15 Wh / 285 g) in combination with the low-noise propellers of the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise series, the maximum takeoff weight of the DJI Mavic 3T is reduced to just 899 g. In practice, this means that all pilots now only need the “small” drone license A1/A3 to fly it. This allows flying in the OPEN A1 category (close to humans), which is particularly advantageous for the Mavic 3T’s main applications – fawn searches, inspections, and BOS (Blind, Blind, and Sanitary) operations.

The new Mavic 3T C1 is available now from geo-konzep, find all information on our Copters und UAV solutions here.

The opening event and main feature will be the already renowned CHRSE workshop, which, as always, will cover all the essential information and workflows for working with headwall sensors over one and a half days. Thanks to our new partnership with Spectral Evolution, we are now able to expand this event by adding a full day dedicated entirely to this manufacturer’s portable spectrometers. Our experts will demonstrate and explain the theoretical background of the technology, participants will have the opportunity to conduct practical field measurements themselves, we will present the latest generation of devices and accessories, and manufacturer experts will be on hand to answer participants’ questions directly.

This second workshop is free of charge and can be perfectly combined with participation in the CHRSE workshop, as it takes place immediately afterward, separated only by a lunch break. Despite the free participation, advance registration is essential, as places are limited.

From now on, emergency responders can gain a comprehensive overview of disaster areas even faster, because the THW’s newest team member is an aerial helper: the Trinity Pro from Quantum Systems. “We’ve been working with fixed-wing aircraft for some time now, comparing different systems, and with the Trinity Pro, we’ve reached a point where we can move forward effectively,” says Daniel Lorenz from THW International.

Whether deployed in disaster areas or for other applications, a fixed-wing drone can cover large areas, document them with centimeter-level accuracy, and transmit the footage live to the operations center. See the complete video story here.

The potential range has been increased to 12 km, and the improved charging times are also impressive: A full charge in Dock 3 now takes only about 27 minutes, and the drone is ready to fly in just 10 seconds!

In addition to countless other advantages and improvements, a whole host of intelligent features have been added: Recognizing and distinguishing between objects such as ships, cars, and people is just the beginning (this can even be expanded with your own custom algorithms)! Easier control via PC and improved live streaming also make this brand-new hangar incredibly appealing.
