Battery swapping

25 seconds and back in the air.

As soon as the drone lands, the dock pulls the empty battery and loads a charged one. The gap between two flights drops from half an hour of charging to under half a minute.

  • Continuous coverageFor incidents that last hours, the drone takes off again almost immediately.
  • Data during the swapWhile the battery is swapped, the flight footage transfers to the dock at about 80 MB/s.
  • Two drones in shiftsTwo docks in the same project take turns: one flies, the other waits, the picture never drops.
Rapid response

Airborne before the crew arrives.

0

Pilots on site

One command from FlightHub 2 and the drone launches as soon as the cover opens. Nights and holidays included.

21 m/s

Straight to the scene

On FlyTo tasks it flies at up to 21 m/s, with no traffic or lights in the way, and gets there first.

~160 ms

Live picture in the control room

Drone-to-cloud latency is down about 43%, so decision makers see the scene almost in real time.

DJI Matrice 5TD

Near and far. Day and night.

Telephoto, thermal imaging, laser ranging and full-colour night vision in one drone. Inspections, security and surveying without switching equipment.

01

Detail from afar

A 252 mm equivalent focal length reads signs 400 m away and spots loose bolts on power lines from 100 m.

02

1280 × 1024 thermal

Up to 2560 × 2048 in UHR mode, with 32× zoom. Overheating, fire spots and people in the dark stand out, also fused with the visible feed.

03

Colour, even at night

Full-colour 4K night imaging without switching on a spotlight, plus NIR auxiliary light in total darkness. The laser measures distances up to 3 km.

04

450 g on three mounts

Spotlight, speaker and parachute together on one flight: light and instructions for ground crews, safety overhead. Built-in warning light with custom colours.

Every season

From -40 to 50 degrees.

The dock preheats batteries in the cold and cools them with air conditioning in the heat. The drone takes off, lands and flies in winds up to 12 m/s, and if wind picks up on the way back it descends and returns safely.

Safe flight

It even sees the wires.

Three-directional radar, a rotating LiDAR and six-directional low-light cameras work together, so the drone flies safely even inside a substation or between distribution lines.

  • Obstacles at night tooIt detects thin obstacles such as wires, even under city lights.
  • Knows who else is flyingAn ADS-B and Remote ID receiver shows nearby aircraft and drones on the FlightHub 2 map.
  • ParachuteWith its own power and automatic or manual deployment. With it, the 5TD meets EU classes C5 and C6.
Deployment

Where other docks do not fit.

Next to tall buildings and walls

With the DJI O4 Ground Station mounted high, the signal stays stable next to high-rises or a substation wall. Dual 4G and sub-2G links for difficult sites.

Many stations, one coverage

The drone hands over between ground stations without interruption, so cities and large sites have no blind spots.

Frequently asked questions

What changes compared with the DJI Dock 3?

It swaps the drone's battery by itself in 25 seconds and works from −40 to 50 °C. Video link and RTK move to the separate O4 Ground Station, so the dock can be sited more freely. The dock's batteries double as backup power, media comes back fast over Wi‑Fi after landing, and the sub2G band makes the link more resistant to interference.

How soon can it fly again after a mission?

The battery swap takes 25 seconds once the lid has closed, and the next mission can start 45 seconds after the previous one.

Which drone does it work with?

Only the DJI Matrice 5TD.

Does it need the O4 Ground Station?

Yes, the Dock 4 does not work without it. The O4 Ground Station provides the video link and RTK and is installed in an open, unobstructed spot.

In what weather does it operate?

In winds up to 12 m/s and rain up to 2 mm per hour, from −40 to 50 °C. The dock is IP56 rated.

What happens in a power cut?

It keeps going, using the batteries in its compartments to swap the drone's battery.

What does the installation site need?

Stable power and network, at an altitude of up to 5,000 m. Before permanent installation, a drone site survey picks the location; ADESCO carries it out during the project study.

What internet connection does it need?

Wired Ethernet, ideally gigabit, with at least 20 Mbps up and down (40 Mbps recommended) and latency up to 100 ms.
