DJI Propels Drone Technology into the Future at AirWorks 2022
Las Vegas, NV – DJI, a frontrunner in civilian drone and aerial imaging technology, has kicked off its annual AirWorks conference, setting the stage for remarkable advancements in the world of drones. This year’s gathering at The Mirage hotel convention center draws together over 600 drone professionals from 46 countries to explore innovative solutions aimed at transforming professional operations across multiple industries.
A New Era of Automated Flight
Among the exciting innovations presented at AirWorks 2022 is the DJI Dock, a programmable base station designed to automate drone operations. This ingenious system allows the DJI M30 drone to conduct fully automated waypoint flights, indispensable for tasks in remote areas. Capable of protecting the drone from harsh weather, launching it, guiding it upon landing, downloading captured data, and recharging its battery, the DJI Dock enhances operational efficiency. AirWorks attendees are eagerly awaiting live demonstrations showcasing its capabilities.
Innovations in Agriculture
In the realm of agriculture, DJI introduced the Agras T40, the latest addition to its line of agricultural drones. This remarkable drone can dispense up to 40 liters (approximately 88 pounds) of liquid fertilizer over expansive farm fields. With powerful motors and advanced nozzle technology, the T40 can cover a 52-acre field in just one hour – a significant breakthrough for precision agriculture. This drone incorporates mapping technologies to enhance its functionality, signaling a pivotal shift toward advanced agricultural practices to meet global food demands.
A Gathering of Experts
AirWorks 2022 marks the sixth installment of DJI’s user conference and its highly anticipated return to an in-person format post-pandemic. The event has turned The Mirage into a hub for industry leaders, innovators, and forward-thinkers exploring diverse applications of drone technology spanning construction, energy, transportation, and public safety. Over three days filled with panels, presentations, and live demonstrations, attendees will delve into how DJI products have become essential tools in various fields, bolstering efficiency and productivity.
