Heish Technology has launched its third-generation wireless drone charging pad system, enabling truly autonomous fleet operations without human intervention. The DNEST charging station uses resonant inductive coupling to deliver 800W of power to compatible drones, achieving a full charge in 35 minutes for most commercial platforms.
The system integrates with major drone autopilot platforms including PX4, ArduPilot, and DJI SDK, allowing drones to autonomously navigate to charging pads when battery levels drop below threshold. Weather-sealed enclosures protect against rain, dust, and temperatures from -30°C to +55°C.
Early adopters in security patrol and agricultural monitoring report 99.2% uptime for continuous autonomous operations spanning multiple weeks. Pricing starts at $4,500 per charging station, with volume discounts available for fleet deployments of 10 or more units.
