"This year we aim to put our easy-to-use drones in the hands of farmers, agronomists, and land stewards to help manage their lands in a more efficient and environmentally friendly way, while also making sure we equip emergency responders with access to the industry's best tools and support they need to rapidly respond and save lives during natural disasters."

Showcasing Industry Innovation

As drone technology helps businesses and organizations around the world save time and money and improve worker safety, leading DJI partners and customers showcased their unique approaches to integrating and innovating drone technology within their industries:

New Tools to Spur Drone Development

In addition to supporting professional drone users, DJI is also delivering new tools to those who develop new drone technologies with the introduction of DJI X-Port. A new gimbal attachment for DJI Matrice 200 Series V2 drones, X-Port allows drone hardware developers to quickly integrate their own custom sensors like multispectral cameras and LiDAR sensors. X-Port features built-in communication APIs, DJI SkyPort integration, and a gimbal debugging interface to enable developers to more quickly bring their sensor innovations to market, reducing start to finish development time by up to 40 percent.

Extended Protection for Drone Technology Investments

DJI also unveiled Enterprise Shield Renew service plan extensions that prolong the comprehensive protection offered to DJI's enterprise products under Enterprise Shield, covering accidental damage due to crashing, water ingress, or signal interference.

AirWorks is the premier venue for exchanging ideas, learning about the latest developments in drone technology, and steering the future development of the industry. It draws attendees from a diverse set of backgrounds who are using drones every day within the agriculture, construction, energy, infrastructure and public safety industries for three days of presentations, hands-on workshops, training sessions and networking opportunities.
