Percepto Drone-in-a-Box Alternative
Over 100 Drone Solution Providers worldwide find FlytBase's hardware-agnostic Drone-in-a-Box solution to be intuitive, cost-effective, scalable, and most importantly, BVLOS ops ready.
Why switch to FlytBase over Percepto Drone?
Nothing great is ever built alone. FlytBase advocates for an Open Drone-in-a-Box system over a closed system in which each component is entirely built by a single company. With the Open DiaB approach, you can convert any popular off-the-shelf drone into a full-fledged DiaB system by combining it with one of the many available low-cost docking stations and the FlytBase software platform. Drone Solution Providers can deploy systems at scale owing to the modular design.
- Reason 01
Hardware agnostic
FlytBase runs on a wide range of commercial drones and the leading docking station manufacturers. Pick the drone that fits your use case and the dock that fits your site, then run them on one autonomy platform. The same program can mix drone families and dock partners across sites without rebuilding the integration on each one.
- Supports DJI, Skydio, Autel, Parrot, and partner drone platforms
- Dock partners across every climate, charging pattern, and downtime tolerance
- Mix drones and docks per site without rewiring the program every time
Reason 02A price that doesn't burn a hole
In a closed DiaB system, a single company designs and manufactures every component from the ground up, so R&D and production costs are extremely high compared to drones that are already being mass produced. The result is a six-figure starting line that makes large-scale adoption difficult. FlytBase enables users to upgrade to low-cost Drone-in-a-Box systems for as little as $10,000 USD.
- Entry-level Drone-in-a-Box programs from around $10K USD
- No proprietary hardware lock-in inflating the bill of materials
- Pricing that scales with your fleet, not with a single vendor's roadmap
- Reason 03
High reliability
Systems built end-to-end by a single company often suffer from limited reliability, because each component is produced in small batches and ships with relatively few flight-hours logged. Mass-produced commercial drones ship in the millions, giving them an enormous head start on operational reliability. FlytBase brings autonomy to that proven hardware.
- Built on platforms with millions of cumulative flight hours in the field
- Faster failure-mode patches because issues surface across a large fleet
- Independent firmware and software release cycles, so updates don't stall on a single vendor
Why wait until the end of the year when you can begin autonomous remote drone ops today?
