New Asset Management Software for Commercial Drone Fleets

AirData UAV has launched an Enterprise Asset Management suite specifically designed for commercial drone fleets. 

This software release, available as an add-on to AirData Enterprise, provides a centralized platform for end-to-end drone asset management, connecting field operations with the full depth of AirData’s fleet management capabilities. 

Fleet managers, pilots, and technicians will be able to save valuable personnel hours with simplified workflows for asset management.

AirData’s new solution implements a robust, automated check in/check out system using QR codes. This gives fleet managers real-time visibility into equipment custody, availability, and location. When a pilot scans an item, its location and the pilot’s AirData account are logged in a historical ledger. 

Managers can access a clear history of item ownership for compliance and accountability purposes. Check in and check out histories also facilitate more detailed asset utilization data, granting valuable insight into resource allocation to highlight inefficiencies or areas for projected growth.

Flyaway drones, a potential liability concern for many fleets, are accounted for via a secure lost and found chat mechanism. Anybody outside the organization can scan a lost item’s QR code with their camera app to securely and anonymously chat with the equipment owner through a standard mobile browser. 

AirData’s automated flight data syncing, QR-based custody logging, and secure lost and found reporting combine to provide a centralized, historical dataset for any compliance requirements.

Asset Management connects equipment operations in the field with AirData’s powerful data analysis capabilities. QR-based features are available first for drones, and will expand to include other equipment such as batteries, remote controllers, and sensors. 

AirData’s customizable QR code labels also allow the inclusion of fields such as registration numbers and drone nicknames. These abilities are aimed at helping drone fleet admins replace outdated manual protocols for inventory tracking, scheduling, and equipment allocation.

AirData Founder & CEO, Eran Steiner, commented, “Our priority with the release of Asset Management is to give our customers greater control over and visibility into their growing drone fleets. Our aim is to emphasize user-friendliness, while also leveraging AirData’s full array of fleet readiness features to improve safety, transparency, and compliance. The workflows in Asset Management are designed to integrate closely with other services in AirData, creating a more automated, centralized fleet management platform.”
