DJI FlightHub 2 Analyzer is now officially live, introducing features such as design file import, timeline, measurement calculation, and automated workflow, bringing a powerful new solution to Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals.
Driving Digital Transformation in AEC
In the construction industry, traditional project management faces four persistent challenges: limited site access, high operational costs, inconsistent deliverables, and ineffective data use. For Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals, overcoming these pain points requires breaking through legacy workflows, and digital transformation has become a strategic imperative.
To meet the evolving needs of the industry, DJI has launched a dedicated AEC of FlightHub 2, featuring the newly released Analyzer module tailored for construction applications.
When integrated with DJI Dock 3, FlightHub 2 enables a closed-loop workflow from automated drone data capture and cloud-based 3D modeling to advanced analysis. This all-in-one drone solution directly addresses critical industry needs, including visual and schedule progress tracking, site safety oversight, regulatory compliance verification, and operational efficiency enhancement.
Design File Import: Precise Alignment Between Design and Reality
In construction project management, design blueprints carry critical vector data, construction specifications, and target parameters. With the new blueprint import feature in FlightHub 2, users can upload design files in PDF or DXF format and align them with drone-generated 3D models through flexible coordinate transformation tools, such as custom parameters, control point matching, or manual pin marking. This allows for the precise overlay of blueprints and reality capture models, making it easy to identify deviations and resolve issues early in the project lifecycle.
Design File Import and Reality Model
For example, in tailings dam monitoring projects, intelligent overlay of design blueprints and reality models enables engineers to visually compare the overall dam contours and sub-dam boundaries against design specifications. It also allows for real-time tracking of flood line changes and accurate verification of key structures such as drainage shafts, significantly improving quality control while providing reliable data support for project safety.

Timeline: Visualize Project Progress Over Time
Using consistent flight paths across different time points, drones can capture large volumes of visual data, including RGB, infrared, panoramic images, and both 2D and 3D models. Faced with such data abundance, how can project teams make better use of it to enhance management efficiency?
FlightHub 2 introduces the Timeline feature, enabling users to browse drone-collected datasets chronologically. This allows for comparisons from the same perspective over time, making it easier to track changes in localized areas and gain a clear view of project progress.
