WiBotic Wireless Power System for Matrice 200 Series

WiBotic, a supplier of wireless charging and power optimization solutions for the robotics industry, has announced a new wireless power system for the DJI Matrice 200 (M200) and DJI Matrice 210 (M210)

The easy-to-install WiBotic wireless power system enables fully autonomous recharging of the drones, so they can be on constant standby or fly repeatedly without the need for human or mechanical battery swapping.

Ground-based transmitter components as well as onboard charging components are included in the WiBotic wireless power system for the DJI M200 and M210.  It is also compatible with the (additional) WiBotic PowerPad for companies that want a completely turnkey solution.

The combination of these DJI drones and the WiBotic wireless power system is ideal for all types of applications, including long-term persistent security and defense surveillance; at-the- ready search and rescue missions; methane leak detection at oil well sites, refineries and offshore rigs; tracking progress at major constructions sites; and more.

“Pairing our WiBotic wireless power system with these new DJI models creates a real power couple for corporations,” said Ben Waters, CEO of WiBotic. “Countless commercial and defense drone applications are greatly enhanced by the use of wireless power and we make it really simple to make that happen.”

With WiBotic wireless power solutions, the entire charging process can be remotely monitored and controlled using software, APIs and cloud-based tools to ensure the drones charge as rapidly as possible when needed, or more slowly when the next scheduled flight is hours away.  This improves overall battery lifespan and maximizes fleet uptime. The WiBotic PowerPad, a drone landing pad that contains the transmitter components, also protects against moisture, dirt and corrosion that can impact outdoor charging stations over time.

Components in the WiBotic Wireless Power System

In addition to the ground-based transmitter components and the onboard charging components, the WiBotic wireless power system for DJI M200 and M210 also includes mounting equipment to enable quick installation. When used with the WiBotic PowerPad, the entire system can be up and running in 10 minutes.

The system charges the standard DJI M200 and M210 batteries in about two hours and built-in fleet support allows one drone to move between multiple wireless power stations, and also enables several drones to share a network of stations at different times. These wireless power stations can even be used with various drone brands and inside drone hangars or garages.

Not limited to DJI models, WiBotic wireless power solutions are ideal for nearly any commercial drone platform, enabling more frequent and reliable flight for a variety of applications. By keeping drones fully charged and ready to launch at any time, the system is also perfect for instantaneous drone needs such as police/fire response and defense applications.
