SKYLINK

Coordinate drone missions across your entire operation

Coordinating drone operations across multiple teams and locations gets messy fast. SkyLink shows a live operational view of drone availability, mission status, and upcoming flights across your entire site or multiple operations.

Keep up with the demand for drone survey data

As more mining teams rely on drone data, it becomes hard to keep up. Requests, scheduling, approvals, recurring missions, urgent on-demand flights, and manual drone operations all need to be tracked and managed. With SkyLink you can easily manage and view all of your drone-in-a-box operations in one place.

Auto-schedule drone missions

Schedule recurring survey flights and see drone availability for on-demand missions.

Manage multiple sites

Coordinate drone operations across multiple locations from one central platform.

Enterprise scalability

Manage one drone, or hundreds of drone-in-a-box systems from one place to reliably scale your DIAB infrastructure.

Airspace management & deconfliction

SkyLink gives you an easy way to manage airspace deconfliction to reduce risk and maximise drone utilisation.

Benefits

Request and deploy drone flights instantly

At most mines, when you need to request a drone survey, it’s a slow process. Emails, forms, phone calls, then waiting for someone to be available to fly the mission. It all creates more admin work for surveyors who are already flat out.

With SkyLink, anyone on site can request a drone mission. If a drone is available, it can be deployed immediately without the usual back-and-forth coordination between teams.

Manage all drone operations in one place

Drone-in-a-box operations become difficult to coordinate when information is spread across emails, phone calls, spreadsheets, and informal conversations. It’s slow, and no one has a clear picture of exactly what’s happening today, or next week.

SkyLink brings the entire drone coordination workflow into one platform, so everyone works from the same live operational view. Everyone can see what’s flying now, what’s scheduled next, and how drone resources are being used across the operation.

See live drone availability and mission status

When you manage drone operations manually, you can’t see what your drones are actually doing throughout the day, or throughout the entire month. Teams chase updates, and don’t have a clear picture of drone availability, workload, or utilisation over time.

SkyLink shows live drone status across the operation. On one dashboard see which drones are flying, uploading, charging, or delayed by weather. Everyone can see exactly what’s happening in real time so it’s easier to schedule work and make better use of available drones.

Coordinate drones across multiple teams & sites

Managing drone operations across multiple teams and sites quickly becomes complex. Survey, planning, geotech, and operations teams may all need flights at the same time. And each site has its own workloads, priorities, and drone availability.

SkyLink gives you a central operational view. Coordinate drone work across multiple sites and handle recurring missions, urgent requests, and multiple drones and xBot systems from a single platform.

Maintain safe, compliant drone operations at scale

As drone activity increases, it becomes harder to manage approvals, airspace restrictions, flight records, and operational safety. Vital information can be missed, and procedures can be inconsistent between sites.

SkyLink makes drone operations safer with automated airspace checks, live telemetry, and detailed flight records for every mission. See exactly which drones are flying where and track mission activity so you can operate more safely and more efficiently.

“Mining is so dynamic and changes every minute of every day, so we need up-to-date information almost in real time. The xBot technology is an enabler for that, the backbone around providing that real-time data where we can get better insights to our people.”

FEATURES

One platform to coordinate every drone operation

As your operation needs more drone flights and more data, it becomes increasingly complex to coordinate missions across site. What often starts as a few survey requests can expand into multiple teams all competing for access to the same drone resources. The most common operational workflows SkyLink helps with include:

Request and track drone missions across site

SkyLink gives your teams one place to request, schedule, and track drone mnissions. Everyone works from the same live operational view. There’s no communication gap and every team has full visibility over the active missions across site.

Auto-schedule recurring survey missions

With auto-scheduling, you can put your repeat missions on autopilot. SkyLink automatically checks the availability of every drone and accounts for prep time, current flight progress and turnaround periods. See which assets are available and avoid scheduling conflicts before they can impact operations.

Prioritise urgent operational flights

Urgent missions to respond to incidents or inspect changed pit conditions often compete with already scheduled drone flights. SkyLink lets you prioritise critical missions when you need them and launch on demand missions while maintaining control over active flights and operational workloads.

Coordinate drone operations across multiple departments and sites

SkyLink gives teams one shared operational platform to coordinate requests, approvals, scheduling, and mission visibility across departments and locations. Everyone can see what’s happening across the operation in real time without relying on disconnected workflows. It's a shared system for every team to avoid communication gaps and scheduling conflicts.

Manage airspace approvals and operational compliance

SkyLink automatically checks missions against airspace restrictions before approval while maintaining a complete operational record for every flight. This helps teams manage drone operations more safely while maintaining stronger compliance oversight as operations scale.

Approved for Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations

Operating drones at scale requires strict aviation compliance. Getting approvals to fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) can take months or even years for most operators.  

‍

Our team manages aviation approvals and compliance for you. We are approved by Civil Aviation authorities to operate across Australia and Africa and have a large team of experienced pilots who remotely fly xBot missions beyond visual line of sight.  

‍

This allows sites to run safe, compliant drone operations without managing aviation approvals, licensing, or regulatory requirements internally.

Flexible commercial options

People are often surprised by how affordable this technology is now. We make it easy to get started with flexible options to suit your operational and budget requirements.

You can choose to purchase or lease the DIAB unit and operate it yourself. Or get us to handle everything, including remote operations, with a flexible pay per use consumption model.
