Most drone programs lose time between capture and insight. Even when flights are automated, imagery still gets downloaded by hand, moved across devices, and processed before anyone can use it.

In this session, hosted by Esri Australia, we show how the Sphere and Esri Australia partnership closes that gap. Drones launch from DJI Dock 3, missions are monitored through Curo®, and captured imagery flows through HubX® or HubT® directly into Site Scan for ArcGIS, where it's automatically turned into cloud-based maps, models and insights ready for decision-makers.
