H3 Dynamics has launched DBX-G7, a brand new vertiport system for autonomous drone operations. Smarter, faster, and multi-modal with 5G and 4G, DBX was designed to scale ongoing digitisation efforts in safety compliance, maintenance, and crisis management. Applications range from smart cities across Asia to various types of industrial sites worldwide. Developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, DBX-G7 is a direct response to the new telepresence and remote work paradigm. DBX performs all the functions of an on-site drone pilot: navigation, docking, stowing, battery charging, data retrieval, transmission, and cloud-based processing.

Autonomous systems such as DBX help reduce the need for on-site presence and can help alleviate rising labour shortage pressures. “With accelerating digitisation, the need for structural scans is also growing while pilot availability is limited. We are looking to close the gap with our DBX autonomous drone stations,” said Samuel Chauffaille, Head, H3 Dynamics’ Robotics Systems Division.

H3 Dynamics has been deploying its AI-enabled digital inspection solutions to address the many thousands of high-rise buildings that require regular inspections in Singapore, most of which use using piloted drone operations. The company has expanded its solution through strategic partnerships, including SAP connectivity to send repair work orders directly from H3 Dynamics’ digital platform. Enterprise software giant SAP and H3 Dynamics are now working together on an increasing number of industrial use cases.
