MOORPARK, Calif., - Auterion in Moorpark, California has announced that the Acecore Zoe is now part of the Auterion Open Ecosystem. The uncrewed Zoe is a portable heavy-lifter that can be configured from quadcopter to octocopter for added motor redundancy.
By connecting with Auterion Suite via Skynode, the Acecore Zoe delivers data and live video streaming automatically, in real time, while the drone is flying and performing its mission. This zero-touch, fleet-to-suite integration means data is collected, analyzed and presented for a dramatically improved data workflow. Online-first capabilities with 5G connectivity and a wide array of new, tightly integrated payload options make drone operations more flexible and efficient for enterprise.
Currently, each drone system on the market comes with its own dedicated ground control station and user experience. The approach with closed proprietary systems doesn’t scale well, according to Auterion. The company's open ecosystem is expanding with more drones, payloads and third-party applications that give customers flexibility and choice when building out their drone fleets.
“We’re thrilled that Acecore has chosen to build upon the Auterion platform, recognizing industries with multiple use cases, hungry for flexibility,” said Lorenz Meier, CEO of Auterion. “By using Auterion’s operating system on their drones they do not need to build the required user functionality themselves, but can focus, instead, on servicing niches that proprietary competitors cannot serve as well. It’s a win-win.”
Within the Auterion ecosystem, all vehicles are operated using the same software experience—Auterion OS, Auterion Mission Control, and Auterion Suite. An organization can operate an Acecore Zoe and other kinds of drones using the exact same ground control station, analyzing their mission data in the same web app and completing updates using the same process. Companies can scale their drone fleets across multiple platforms from multiple vendors while ensuring their core operating platform is unified.
