On March 28, updates to the industrial drone ecosystem from DJI Enterprise were presented. The updates include new gimbal equipment, a new SDK Payload developer environment, a new DJI SKYPORT product, as well as a new concept for the development of industrial equipment from DJI Enterprise.
The Menlo Park, East Palo Alto and San Mateo County Fire Department hosted a presentation of new equipment from the industrial division of DJI Enterprise, the world's leading manufacturer of drone technology, DJI.
Ecosystem of the unmanned industry
The core values of DJI Enterprise's industrial drone ecosystem are performance, affordability and flexibility, and DJI's vision is to maximize technology adoption. DJI's influence in the new unmanned market lies not only in the creation of unmanned vehicles, but also in expanding the capabilities of system integrators, software developers, authors of UAV operating rules, as well as commercial pilots.
The ecosystem of the entire unmanned industry consists of unmanned platforms, sensors and outboard equipment, software products, personnel training processes, operational support centers and system integrators. In each of these areas, DJI Enterprise announced the main stakeholders and partners.
New products
Zenmuse XT2
Zenmuse XT2 is a new thermal imaging equipment based on the FLIR DUO PRO module, introduced by FLIR Corporation in September 2017. The module provides the ability to simultaneously obtain a thermal image and a visual spectrum, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of remote inspection and non-destructive testing due to more accurate identification of problem elements and the ability to visually recognize thermal anomalies. The module has a 12-megapixel visual matrix, as well as a thermal imaging unit in 2 variations with a resolution of 336 or 640 pixels. The modules are also available in radiometric versions for pixel-by-pixel analysis of the resulting thermal imaging data. Thermal imaging modules are available with a choice of 9, 13, 19 and 25 mm. In Ukraine, only the 9-Hz version of thermal imaging equipment is available for order.
Control of the thermal imaging unit with dual video stream will be available only in the DJI Pilot application for Android, which is designed to control industrial drones of the Matrice 200 series, as well as the DJI XT Pro application for iOS. The management capability is announced for implementation in April.
New intelligent picture-in-picture viewing modes, as well as FLIR MSX, allow you to combine data from visual sensors and thermal imaging modules to create clearer thermal signature textures.
The new thermal imaging modules are compatible with the industrial platforms Matrice 200, Matrice 210, Matrice 210 RTK and Matrice 600 PRO. The equipment is not intended for use on Inspire 2 platforms. In Ukraine, the official importers of DJI industrial equipment are Smart Trading, as well as the DroneUA division, a distribution center for unmanned technologies.
The cost of the equipment is specified upon request and you can contact DroneUA specialists to clarify the order terms and equipment availability in Ukraine: info@drone.ua, +380934575757. To receive wholesale terms of cooperation, you can send a request to opt@drone.ua or dji@smarttrading.com.ua
SLANTRANGE 3PX
SLANTRANGE 3PX is a multispectral camera developed specifically for the Matrice 200-210 series platforms by the manufacturer SLANTRANGE. The multispectral unit is equipped with an inflight calibration module, which allows you to record illumination data during the work process. Direct connection via the gimbal port makes it possible to display the shooting process directly in flight. It also makes it possible to change camera settings using the DroneDeploy or SLANTRANGE programs during the flight in a single window mode.

SENTERA AGX710
SENTERA AGX710 is a multispectral camera developed specifically for the Matrice 200-210 series platforms by SENTERA. Unlike SLANTRANGE cameras, SENTERA comes with a gyrostabilization unit. The module is equipped with 2 multispectral units with a resolution of 12.3MP. The module is compatible with FieldAgent™ software products. Direct connection via the gimbal port makes it possible to display the shooting process directly in flight.
The SENTERA AGX710 package is available in the following formats:
RGB + NDVI | NDVI: Red (625nm), NIR (850nm)
RGB+NDRE | NDRE: Red Edge (720nm), NIR (840nm)
Multispectral | Blue (446nm), Green (548nm), Red (650nm), Red Edge (720nm), NIR (840nm)

DJI Payload SDK
DJI Payload SDK is a development environment that allows you to create software solutions using both stock DJI equipment and new hardware modules from third-party developers. The first, but not the only Payload SDK products were the industry modules SENTERA AGX710 and SLANTRANGE 3PX.
