Joins a team of North Dakota drone developers promoting the latest developments from the state’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) industry

FARGO, ND, April 20, 2017 — Botlink, a company specializing in commercial drone mission planning and data capture, will attend the AUVSI XPONENTIAL conference, May 8-11, in Dallas, Texas, joining a team of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) developers from North Dakota in booth #931, showcasing their wares and the latest developments in the commercial UAS industry.  

Botlink, based in Fargo, N.D., has developed a software-hardware system that enables users to quickly and safely capture data using drones, distribute that data to trade tools and react to changing conditions in real time. Botlink offers intuitive drag-and-drop mission planning for most DJITM and MAVLink drones from a smartphone or tablet. The Botlink XRD captures aerial imagery and geo-reference data, and is capable of uploads over a 4G LTE network for real-time processing and data distribution via the Botlink cloud. Botlink users can organize and view high-definition orthomosaics and 3D models in the Botlink web app or sync them with their existing industry trade tools, such as Procore® for construction management and AgLeaderSMS for precision agriculture, helping them make faster, smarter business decisions.

Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) XPONENTIAL 2017, scheduled for May 8-11 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, is the largest global community of leaders in drones, intelligent robotics and unmanned systems. The conference features exclusive speakers, innovative programs and dynamic educational opportunities that inspire and strengthen the people who are shaping the future of the drone industry.

Botlink will join the N.D. Department of Commerce and several other N.D.-based drone developers, pilots and industry experts, attending the conference in a united effort to promote the state’s strengths as a hub of drone development, including the Northern Plains UAS Test Site, the largest FAA-approved, single-state testing facility of its kind.

Botlink is a user-friendly control, safety, and data delivery platform that makes integrating drones into workflow simple and affordable, giving customers the real-time insight they need to make business decisions. Botlink integrates with users' existing industry analysis tools, while eliminating the problems that prevent many users from incorporating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) technology, such as a lack of aviation knowledge, stringent FAA flight guidelines and limited aircraft endurance. The company is based in Fargo, N.D.
