Sphere Drones’ HubX: A New Era for Australian Industries
Sphere Drones from Australia recently delivered their innovative HubX, a trailer-mounted drone system, to Aptella.
After traveling more than 25,000 kilometers in Western Australia’s challenging desert, Sphere Drones has developed this technology over two years. The HubX aims to transform industries like mining and construction by offering automation and improved safety. Paris Cockinos, CEO of Sphere Drones, expressed excitement about providing a solution that enhances business operations by making them safer and more efficient. "Delivering this HubX unit to Aptella is a testament to the hard work and innovation of our team. HubX is more than a product – it’s a transformative turnkey solution designed to take business operations to the next level by automating tasks, reducing risk, improving efficiency, and enabling continuous drone operations. Working with Aptella strengthens our commitment to driving innovative change in industries like mining, construction and many more."
Aptella’s Gavin Docherty believes HubX will revolutionize how their clients operate, allowing for flexible drone deployments around the clock. This brings major productivity gains, especially as industries evolve and face new demands. “HubX allows clients across industries to integrate drone infrastructure with flexible deployment options. This means 24/7 operations with significant productivity gains, enabling us to meet the evolving demands of our clients in mining, construction and other industries.”
We think this kind of technology could change how businesses work.
The partnership between Sphere Drones and Aptella led to significant design updates following HubX demo days, ensuring the system meets regulations and withstands tough conditions. The press release notes that HubX offers benefits like increased safety and cost savings compared to traditional methods.
To further demonstrate HubX’s capabilities, both companies plan to hold demonstration days throughout Australia. These events will help refine the system and explore other potential uses.
