Airobotics launches automated drone to inspect operation at Worsley Alumina

Airobotics, a leading provider of an end-to-end fully automatic solution, has developed an unmanned drone solution, the first of its kind in the global market. The company’s multi-purpose drone will be utilized at an Australian resources operation in a little while.


Airobotics Co-founder and CEO Ran Krauss commented: “The launch of Airobotics’ automated drone platform marks an important milestone, being one of the first deployments for Airobotics in Australia.”

The fully automated drone will be deployed for scrutinizing machinery and conducting surveying and mapping at South32’s Worsley Alumina operations. The industrial grade automated drone comes with high capacity and cloud based software helps the user to control with one click.

South32, a base metal and coal mining company, will use Airobotics platform to collect aerial data and insights at the Worsley Alumina operations in a 3D digital environment.  This will help the company to improve its operation in the future.
