Aonic – the national distributor of DJI Enterprise solutions in Malaysia, has long been a prominent player in the thriving drone industry. Today, Aonic is excited to unveil its latest venture as the national distributor for DJI Delivery, marking a significant expansion into the autonomous logistics sector. With this announcement comes the introduction of two innovative drone solutions: DJI Dock 2, from DJI Enterprise Remote Drone Operation Solutions, and DJI FlyCart 30, the first-ever DJI’s Delivery drone.
Aonic is committed to constructing a future-proof ecosystem of solutions that propels traditional businesses forward. Through Aonic 6 business verticals – Agriculture, Industrial, Services, Retail, Academy and Lifestyle, Aonic can provide turnkey, end-to-end solutions that are tailored to business and strategic partner requirements.
As a key player in the growing drone industry, Aonic cultivated a team of in-house experts spanning R&D, operations, maintenance, after-sales service, and software development to consistently deliver state-of-the-art solutions to its strategic partners while providing on-demand technical and maintenance support. In 2022, Aonic was officially designated as the first DJI Enterprise Service Centre in Malaysia. This certification underscores Aonic’s capability to provide expert knowledge and services to enterprise strategic partners and their customers seeking innovative drone solutions. Now, with the introduction of DJI Delivery, Aonic is poised to revolutionise how businesses approach logistics and delivery operations.
“Our dedication to delivering end-to-end solutions and assistance across diverse industries has led to Aonic’s selection as the national distributor of DJI Delivery. With a dedicated division for DJI Delivery, Aonic underscores our commitment to providing comprehensive support and innovative solutions to businesses seeking to embrace the future of air mobility,” says Cheong Jin Xi, founder and CEO of Aonic.
Aonic unveiled the two newest drone solutions – DJI Dock 2 and DJI FlyCart 30 – both serve distinct and separate functions. For the DJI Dock 2, an advanced “Drone in a Box”, it sets a new benchmark for automated drone operations through the deployment of both Matrice 3D or 3TD options. Notably, the DJI Dock 2 model is 75% smaller and 68% lighter than its predecessor, leading to flexible installation and reduced costs alongside the integration of multiple sensors for real-time weather monitoring. The DJI Dock 2 can recharge the aircraft batteries from 20% to 90% in just 32 minutes, reaching a new level of charging speed and efficiency.
“At DJI Enterprise, we’re committed to advancing drone technology to new heights, delivering unparalleled portability, efficiency, and localised services to meet the evolving needs of industries worldwide, serving to build a better world by continuously promoting human advancement,” says Holly Huo, Sales Manager of Southeast Asia of DJI Enterprise.
Looking at the two aircraft options, the DJI Matrice 3D models specifically are equipped with both a tele camera and a wide-angle camera with a mechanical shutter, meeting the needs for 1:500 high-precision mapping tasks. Meanwhile, the DJI Matrice 3TD drones are equipped with the triple threat of a wide-angle camera, a tele camera, and an infrared camera, enabling the depiction of visible light and thermal images, suitable for security and inspection operations.
On the other hand, the DJI FlyCart 30 is a long-distance heavy lifter aiming to overcome traditional logistical limitations, as it is designed with delivery capabilities in mind. On dual batteries, it can easily traverse 16 km in one go with a maximum payload of 30 kg – which can be upgraded to 40 kg if operated with a single battery. It promises reliability and safety from takeoff to landing, which is best exemplified through its two modes – Cargo mode and Winch mode – intended to account for different types of goods delivery. The Cargo mode is more streamlined and steady, coming with an Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) case that supports easy loading and unloading. Moreover, its weight and centre-of-gravity detection ensures balanced cargo loading for a safe and stable flight.
Conversely, the Winch mode is tailored for a more flexible and precise approach, using a retractable cable that can be controlled either manually or automatically. In this mode, any cargo is released automatically upon touchdown without the need for manual detachment, ensuring a safe and precise delivery. Across the board, the DJI FlyCart 30 is a safe, economical, and efficient air transport solution with a 20 m/s maximum flight speed using carbon fibre propellers, and the ability to support DJI OccuSync 3.0 video transmission over up to 20 km.
