Drone solutions for agriculture.

Our cutting edge drone technology replaces scaffolding, cherry pickers, abseiling, cranes, and traditional spraying systems. Faster, safer, up to 60% cheaper — operated by a fully certified CAA Part 102 crew.

About DroneX

Revolutionising New Zealand's industries, with world-class robotics.

DroneX puts the best exterior robotics in the world to work on New Zealand sites — on a mission to bring advanced drone technology into our industries, strengthen productivity and help future-proof the economy. All operated by a two-person CAA-certified crew.

Scaffolding, cherry pickers, rope access and ground spray rigs are slow, expensive, and put people where nobody should have to be. Every one of those jobs is now flown from the footpath.

Why operators are switching to UAV.

Metric
Abseil · scaffold · lifts
DroneX · UAV + robotics
Setup time
Abseil · scaffold · lifts ~4 hours Scaffold or harness setup before any work begins
DroneX · UAV + robotics 30 minutes Drone unpack, pre-flight check, RTK lock, takeoff
Crew required
Abseil · scaffold · lifts 3–5 people Abseilers, ground crew, lift operator, traffic management
DroneX · UAV + robotics 2 people Pilot + ground spotter, insured and CAA certified
Worker risk
Abseil · scaffold · lifts High Working at height for the entire duration of the job
DroneX · UAV + robotics Minimised Almost all work from the ground; brief access only when essential
Water use
Abseil · scaffold · lifts ~1,800 L Pressure-wash crew, high-pressure rinse, full re-flush
DroneX · UAV + robotics ~400 L Precision soft-wash application, minimal runoff
Reach
Abseil · scaffold · lifts Limited Constrained by anchors, scaffold load and lift reach
DroneX · UAV + robotics Up to 60 m Full façade coverage, single mobilisation, no anchors
Cost vs abseil
Abseil · scaffold · lifts Baseline Multi-day mobilisation, traffic management, equipment hire
DroneX · UAV + robotics Up to −60% One mobilisation, two operators, no scaffold or lift rental
