AiDEN is an autonomous drone that combines advanced engineering with unmatched portability without sacrificing performance. Weighing under 5 lbs and meticulously crafted in Korea, it features 64MP EO/IR cameras, stereo vision, and a laser rangefinder, making it ideally suited to serve the needs of demanding environments.

Designed for seamless autonomous operation, AiDEN leverages groundbreaking swarm technology, enabling five or more drones to work in unison. This capability revolutionizes large-scale operations by maximizing efficiency and minimizing mission times, making AiDEN a force multiplier in the field. Whether deployed for large-scale outdoor operations or high-stakes missions, AiDEN delivers consistent, mission-ready performance, empowering users to execute complex tasks with confidence.

KAiDEN is a high-speed interceptor engineered to neutralize Group 1 and 2 drones as well as ground-based threats. Utilizing sophisticated AI-powered target recognition and guidance algorithms, the high-speed drone accelerates speeds of up to 150 miles/h (250km/h) and eliminates threats with pinpoint precision.

Its lightweight yet durable build enables swift, high-speed engagements while supporting an additional 1 kg of explosives for precise mid-air detonations, making it a formidable counter-UAS solution.

Pro2 is a cutting-edge autonomous inspection drone built to tackle the unique demands of both onshore and offshore wind farms. Designed for speed and precision, it completes a full turbine blade inspection—including all four edges—in under 15 minutes, covering up to 15 WTGs per day.

Its high-resolution camera captures crystal-clear, blur-free imagery, enabling the detection of blade defects as small as 0.3mm before they develop into costly repairs. By streamlining inspections and minimizing downtime, Pro2 empowers wind operators with the critical data needed to maintain peak turbine performance.

Serving as an advanced drone base, Nearthlab’s docking station seamlessly integrates with police operation systems and autonomously obtains flight authorization, enabling drones to act as reliable, immediate responders in critical situations, extending beyond routine patrols to urgent incident response.

The station also addresses battery limits, by extending flight capacity from a limited 30 minutes to uninterrupted missions. This innovation not only boosts productivity but also creates a new standard for drone reliability, ensuring responders are always ready for action.

NearthWIND Mobile is a mobile application that allows almost any off-the-shelf drone to be transformed into an efficient industrial inspection workhorse.

With a simple app download, this convenient plug-and-play solution enables you to carry out regular and cost-effective check-ups and maintenance without the need for expensive and bulky industrial UAV platforms, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.

Zoomable is a powerful cloud-based analytics platform for efficient management, tracking and analysis of drone inspection data. Utilizing advanced deep learning algorithms, the software identifies and highlights defects, locates them with pinpoint accuracy, and categorizes them according to type and severity.

Offering a highly streamlined workflow, Zoomable can integrate data from disparate sources, allowing you to cross-reference a fresh set of images with historical data and track changes over time for effective comparison and informed decision-making. Customizable reports can be generated with a click of a button.
