In recent years, multi-rotor aircraft have become integral tools across various industries. As drone technology continues to evolve, the focus of the drone industry has gradually shifted from data generation and collection to data application. This shift enables large-scale data application and significantly reduces the costs associated with data collection and utilization.
However, scaling drone operations presents its own set of challenges. Regular pilot training, licensing, and the distribution of trained pilots across different work sites can be daunting tasks. Additionally, in emergencies, users need to transport the aircraft to the site, delaying timely data collection.
The DJI Dock is DJI's first drone-in-a-box solution, opening up possibilities for automated and pre-programmed flights that can be conducted and monitored remotely, without the need for an on-site drone pilot. In March 2024, DJI unveiled the DJI Dock 2, which takes innovation a step further with a reduced footprint, extended flight time, high-precision surveying capabilities, and more.

Solutions like the DJI Dock 2 allow users to plan tasks remotely and deliver them to the dock. Once airborne, the aircraft automatically collects various types of data as configured in the tasks and uploads the data to the cloud for processing.
The operational mode provided by these solutions differs from that of traditional aircraft. In scenarios with a fixed flight area or high operation frequency, only a few drone-in-a-box units need to be deployed to support on-demand task execution and data collection.
For those interested in the DJI Dock 2, this guidebook isa comprehensive tool to address key considerations for seamless integration, including regulatory compliance, hardware deployment, software configuration, drone data management, and device maintenance."
