by DRONELIFE Staff Writer Ian M. Crosby

Last week, AirData UAV and Blue innovation Co. announced the formation of a partnership to create a Japanese-language version of AirData’s globally deployed fleet management platform. This new development provides Japanese pilots and fleet operators with a localized and fully translated interface for AirData, alongside features adapted for Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) regulations. This project sets the stage for future translations of the AirData platform.

“Blue innovation has been a great partner in this launch of AirData in Japan. Both of our organizations share a passion for promoting the growth of safe and successful drone use.” said AirData CEO Eran Steiner. “Releasing the Japanese AirData platform helps pilots in Japan improve flight operations, risk management, and flight data tracking. Our improved translation infrastructure allows the introduction of additional languages to new markets, with the goal of accelerating drone adoption worldwide in a safe and compliant manner.”

AirData is utilized by more than 270,000 customers around the world for purposes of mission planning, drone and pilot management, and regulatory compliance. Meanwhile, Blue innovation is a trailblazing leader in Japan’s burgeoning unmanned vehicles industry. The companies have collaborated to provide a translated, Japanese-market edition of the AirData platform, made possible through an integration with JUIDA‘s Member Management System, developed on the foundation of Blue innovation’s Blue Earth Platform. The companies also implemented new features suited to Japan’s legal regulations from governing bodies like the Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB).

“Blue innovation greatly values our relationship with AirData,” said Blue innovation CEO Takayuki Kumada. “They are an industry leader in drone data management and compliance, and they share our passion for advancing the unmanned aircraft industry. We believe that we can work together to make it easier for JUIDA members to run their drone operations and create a positive relationship with regulatory authorities.”

A front runner in the use of drones for commercial purposes, Blue innovation is the developer of the Blue Earth Platform (BEP), made to integrate varying autonomous devices like robots, unmanned vehicles, and smart sensors. The company has a longstanding relationship with JUIDA, with the two organizations sharing the goal of furthering the future of unmanned aerial vehicles in Japan, and having collaborated on the development of educational packages and commercial solutions.
