HHLA Sky, a subsidiary of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), showcased its advanced drone operation solutions at the grand opening of dronePORT Hamburg. This new facility, inaugurated by the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA), Hamburg Police, and Hamburg Aviation, marks Europe’s first ground infrastructure dedicated to unmanned aviation and mobile sensor technology. HHLA Sky’s offerings include drones for inspecting the Port of Hamburg and shipping lanes, supported by their Integrated Control Center, a sophisticated software enabling Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights for infrastructure inspections.
The Integrated Control Center by HHLA Sky automates drone management and control, allowing operators to monitor and manage multiple drone flights simultaneously from a central location. This technology facilitates efficient inspections of bridges, roads, and large areas, enhancing operational efficiency and safety. The control center can handle over 100 BVLOS-automated drone flights at once, highlighting its capability to support extensive drone operations.
