Sydney-based drone services provider Aerologix recently received the prestigious Excellence in Innovation SME award from the Aviation/Aerospace Australia organization. The award is designed to honor organizations for their accomplishments and innovations in products, services, or operational processes.
Other finalists included Bennett – Litigation and Commercial Law, Dovetail Electric Aviation, and Envirofluid.
Aerologix, which describes itself as “Uber for drones”, connects CASA-certified independent drone services providers (providing footage of personal and corporate events, inspection operations, surveying services, and data on demand services) with a wide range of clients as part of a network that spans Oceania.
Other services offered by Aerologix include AerologixMaps, (began after their strategic acquisition of Mappa) which converts drone footage taken by contractors into high-quality, high definition maps at broadly affordable price points, and AerologixFly, a tool designed to aid in mapping vertical structures. Founded by a former Qantas pilot and a former IT specialist, Aerologix has over 30,000 providers in their network and promise 48 hour end-to-end delivered products and services. In mid-2023, Aerologix announced a major business expansion into New Zealand, further increasing access to its innovative services. Late last year, Aerologix announced plans for an aggressive expansion into North and South America,
In a statement from Aerologix CEO and co-founder Tom Caska, he said, “We are quite humbled yet very proud of our accomplishments. It’s a testament to my team at Aerologix, it’s quite remarkable how our in-app software can create and automate flight plans at the touch of a widget. One year ago we were doing about 1000 flights a month on our “Uber-like” platform, today we are doing over 10,000 flights per week! We also secured full patients on our technology, another nice tip of the hat from IP Australia.”
