start-up from scratch, launched from the idea and raising investments, mvp development at a robotics plant to mass production and scaling in the market of the Russian Federation (state needs), Turkey, Canada and the UAE (RTA Dubai and Abu Dhabi).
There was a heavy hard with robotics and software based on its ML/AI platform.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
In 2020, the company Dronoport was established, the main goal of which was the development and implementation of the first Drone from the box system in Russia.
After the test samples and R&D, a reliable and trouble-free design was developed, software was written and a lot of work was done on the network binding of elements to build a tight connection between the elements of the system at any phases of flight. The first batch of 8 stations was produced, some of which were blocked by customers even before leaving the factory.

THE FUTURE HAS COME: The first HIVE drone port
Transport - based and communication stations, equipped with a robot manipulator that replaces the drone batteries in a matter of seconds and ensures round-the-clock operation and flight autonomy.
Even at the stage of creating the newest sample, an aggressive marketing company began. Its fruits became visible immediately. The stations have joined the country's key innovation platforms - Skolkovo (Moscow) and Innopolis (Kazan).
As part of the operation and exhibitions, the complex was presented to the Mayor of Moscow S.S. Sobyanin and the Head of the Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development of the City of Moscow A.A. Fursin and Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation V.R. Medinsky.

Aggressive marketing, response of officials, access to key innovation platforms of the Russian Federation
A UAV with an integrated on-board computer that allows you to use the capabilities of pre-installed neural network modules in real time. The UAV can be equipped with various useful equipment including thermal imagers, gas analyzers and lidars.
A cloud platform specially designed for the formation of flight missions, control of execution and analysis of collected data.

Hive is working on fundamentally different tasks for monitoring power grids, monitoring environmental disaster zones, construction of critical infrastructure facilities (such as nuclear power plants) and others.
participation in special programs from industry giants
Positive feedback and interest in the solution from officials gave an additional impetus to the introduction of the product. Hive has become
an indispensable assistant in the processes of monitoring roads and utilities in Moscow, water rescue and monitoring the work of Russia's leading enterprises in the oil and gas sector.
The multitasking and modularity of the platform allows you to explore advanced implementation cases, and its technological effectiveness allows you to implement irreplaceable functions of neural networks.

In the shortest possible time, the idea was brought to life, was implemented and became recognizable thanks to advanced technologies and sophisticated design
The summer of 2021 was the starting point for the combat operation of Hive 24/7. The solution has become an indispensable tool:
Hive is beginning to conquer the international market, starting its expansion from the Middle East countries such as Turkey, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
In parallel, work was carried out to actively promote Hive both in Russia and abroad

Difficulties and solutions
At some point, there were so many orders, and the staff of pilots grew to 20 people. The management of such a team is a very difficult task, provided that each flight is accompanied by a permit received for a certain period, neither later nor earlier.
And the more departures there were, the more difficulties and obstacles stood in the way of the team. The pilot should always be on time, but no one has canceled the human factor. And if the pilot did not have time, then the flight schedule for the day is ruined.
The Achilles heel of any drone is its battery. If you are discharged, you urgently need a new one, because you need to finish shooting. And what if it's not there?
Run to the nearest fast food to charge. What if you're in the field? And how to get to the field if it's snowing around or it's been raining for a week? Suddenly a mongrel appears, whose sole purpose is to bite off a piece of the pilot. And as soon as you strayed from the dog, the police arrive and begin to take away the drone, believing that the flights are not
coordinated.
But everything is fine, gigabytes of files and thousands of photos on a flash drive. It's a small matter, do not confuse anything and transfer them for processing. And 20 more of the same flash drives and all this should not be confused and not lost! And this is just one scenario of one of the working days of the drone pilot.

the usual everyday life of a drone pilot
Then the question arose is there any way to get away from these difficulties? Somehow automate the process? Get away from the pilot, control remotely
Then, in 2019, work began on the first prototype of the station. There were a lot of ideas, trials and errors. There was even an attempt to use a drone of its own production. There were accidents, sleepless nights and small victories. The insatiable desire to create something advanced, technological and really cool pushed forward and there were more and more victories. The concept took shape and specificity. The first MVP appeared.
Process automation
The realization that the project is multicomponent was from the very beginning. And investments are needed for its full-fledged development. A well-thought-out marketing strategy, presentations and videos helped to quickly find an investor in the vast expanses of the Russian Federation. The synergy of technology and innovation appealed to investors so much that the company Dronoport is part of a group of companies managed by the invest fund.
Investment
Collaboration with an investor has opened up new opportunities. One of the most important factors of future success was the presence of a robotics plant in the group of companies.
Combining the experience and knowledge of the two teams, a new concept was developed in the shortest possible time, tech. Documentation, and the assembly of the newest Hive station has begun. In order to build a solution superior to international competitors, an in-depth analysis of the market, their features and areas of application was carried out.
Competitive advantages were selected and implemented, the key of which were: the use of a robot manipulator to quickly replace batteries, thereby ensuring a continuous flight cycle, the introduction of a communication system based on mobile Internet and the introduction of the most advanced serial drone in the world from a manufacturer with a distribution network around the world.
